There is only one scripture that gives EVERYONE proof of the existence of God. A scripture that is so reasonable that you don't even have to read it to understand the concept. That scripture is Ro 1:20, but before you go off and read it let me explain.
In order to understand you have to first put on your logic caps and then open your eyes and have a serious look around. And now for the question. . .
If God is the creator of EVERYTHING, do you think He would leave His work unsigned? Of course not! God's signature is in ALL of creation! And in this way no man has an excuse. Let me explain. . .
If you do what I mentioned, and really have a serious look around things will start to fall into place. You'll notice simple things like that you don't fall up into the sky to your death or how your body is structured to take in nutrients by consumption and then eliminate it's wastes.
These things all point to one thing. . . ORDER!
All of creation is like a machine, constructed so that even chaos itself can be predicted. Everything runs on a certain set of mechanics, that is what physics is all about, discovering the mechanics that run. . . well. . . EVERYTHING.
And in order to have ORDER there are certain requirements that must be met. First and foremost, order requires design. We surround ourselves daily with things that have an obvious design. Do you think the screen you are looking at right now just plopped out of space because an atom was rubbed the wrong way? Absolutely not! It took some effort in planing to design the screen and additional effort to make it.
A requirement of design, therefore, is intelligence, someone to think up the design and put it into play.
So if the universe is based on a system of order (duh) and order requires design and design requires intelligence then we know that we are surrounded by proof of intelligent design! Creation itself proves it!
It's so simple that sometimes I often wonder how a scripture written almost 2000 years ago hits this point, yet we (in our advanced society) tend to miss it. Is it just that we are SO busy that we no longer look around and really see what is going on?
Now that you took the time to read this article, I will save you some time by posting the scripture I am refering to and you can see for yourself how simple the answer is:
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
