Believing in God is a part of what makes us human. He provides strength and faith when traumatic things happen to us, touches our hearts, and helps us move on. If there were no God, much of what we see and experience would not exist. Much of what we feel and draw upon would not exist.

Scientists would have that "Ah ha!" moment. Luckily, that will never happen. Scientists can offer logical explanations and/or reasons for WHY things exist [like the forming of the universe], but they miss the bigger picture beyond their reasons. For example, take the logical "Big Bang Theory". Scientists go on and on about gases, exploding stars, and that the universe has been expanding ever since. The piece of the larger picture they are missing is WHY. Why did these gases, etc. happen if their theory is true? What caused that initial "big bang"? The "why" is always God.

They cannot give an answer, because scientists believe only in empirical evidence. They choose to skip over or ignore anything they cannot explain away, and that is their downfall.

An obvious example is Nature. Nature is too organized in its beauty to be random coincidence. Yes, the scientists can break all plants and flowers, trees, etc., into their basic structures of plant DNA, which varieties are frail and why, which plants bloom each year, but again, they cannot explain why these marvels exist.

They exist because it pleased God to make them so. That every Shasta daisy, for example, should have the exact same shade of white petals and yellow heart year after year, is more than something Man can explain. It is not merely coincidence. The daisy blooms the same every year because it pleased God that it be so. Nature itself portrays a godly essence. A reason nature is as it is. It is FAR too organized and renewable to be merely logical

Then there are miracles: scientists cannot explain them away either. The child bitten by a rattlesnake so badly, the venom caused his organs to fail, just HAPPENED to be the child of a doctor who specializes in venomous bites or stings. Or the young man who is not only HIT by a car, but RUN OVER, but lives to tell the tale. The man who is stung over 500 times by very aggressive African bees: logically, he should also be dead. The fact that these people lived is a miracle, and miracles belong to God.

Have you ever been in a situation, or witnessed something where a "coincidence" saved the day? That coincidence was not random; it was God's helping hand, so to speak. Many people believe
