Does God exist?
A cumulative case—beginning, design, and moral law—makes a personal God far more plausible than a brute, accidental cosmos.
Why is there something rather than nothing?
A universe with a beginning needs a cause that is not itself a piece of the universe.
Doesn’t the universe just look designed?
Specified, functional calibration is what we always call design when we meet it anywhere else.
Hasn’t science made God unnecessary?
Science describes secondary causes. It does not abolish the need for a first cause, or the meaning of the whole.
Where does morality come from?
If some things are really wrong, not just unfashionable, then moral law needs a source deeper than us.
If God wants to be known, why is He so quiet?
God is not a lab display. He has spoken in creation, in Israel, and in Christ — and He still leaves room to refuse. Silence in a psalm is not the same thing as absence.
Can you argue God into existence from the idea of God?
Anselm tried: a being than which none greater can be conceived must exist, or it would not be the greatest. It is a real argument. It is a poor opening move at a job site, and it does not carry the case alone.
What if I am not sure — is Pascal’s wager just a trick?
Pascal did not prove God. He said that if the evidence feels unfinished, the stakes are not equal. Use it as a push to investigate. It cannot manufacture faith, and faking belief does not cash the bet.
Why do we want a joy this world never quite gives?
A hunger usually has a food. The fact that nothing here finishes our joy is not a proof by itself. It is a clue that fits a God who made us for Himself better than it fits a closed world.
