“For what can be known about God is plain to them”. Sometimes atheists claim that there isn’t enough evidence for the existence of God. Quite frankly this is nonsense. The more we look at the universe, from the smallest scale to the largest scale, the more clear it becomes that there is design behind it. Now this emphatically does not mean that scientific processes are involved. Absolutely not, scientific processes are part of the design! Nor, and this might upset some Christians, does it mean that random processes cannot be part of the design. Random processes can be part of a designed process with a specific goal in mind. Genetic algorithms are an example of this. However, that the universe was designed is clear to any right thinking person.

The universe reflects many of God’s “invisible attributes”. Paul specifically names: His eternal power and divine nature”. We see a vast universe, and one with extremely powerful forces at work.We have been aware of these ever since the creation of the world, and the more we study the universe the more amazing it becomes. To say that all this happened just by chance takes a far greater leap of faith than to say that there is a creator. We see a very ordered universe. Some of these processes may be extremely complex, e.g. Quantum mechanics, but they are ordered, nevertheless.
