Because it IS that way! What other evidence must there BE?!?!?!?!
Whatever IS, it IS. The very name of God is the "I AM" - the very
verb which defines our reality: "TO BE"!
That which IS, is God. Period. Finito. That's the only proof there
is. It is what the Hebrews took so much for granted that there never
was a question - what is IS. If its raining, its raining, if its
sunny its sunny, if its 186000 miles per second, then its 186000 miles
per second - what is, IS, what is TO BE, is TO BE. That is the _name_
of God: I AM, I WAS, I WILL BE, all in the form of the verb TO BE.
If the universe has existed in infinite time - never with a beginning -
then that's WHAT IS, and if it began with a Big Bang, then that's
WHAT IS. And whatever it IS, it is because that is what it is [to be];
and thus, is [the essence of God]. I cannot explain that which must
of a necessity be comprehended by your consciousness at its most
elementary level. Whether or not you believe there is a God, is not
at issue - nor is it an issue whether or not He evidences Himself -
because He is evidence by the things which exist - even if this
is not accepted by the scientific mind, or the mind which understands
what "natural selection" means, if you follow me. But that those
things which do exist, and we measure them with our senses, determining
the temperature of a gas at sea-level, or the density of a distant
star, or its chemical composition, or its distance, or the age of
the earth, or the force of gravity, or the strong nuclear force:
if we measure them - and if our measurements are true and SINCE WE
TAKE NOTICE OF PEER REVIEW, then all scientists BY DEFAULT accept
that peer review will demonstrate either consistency or inconsistency.
If consistent - then the hypotheses ARE CONFIRMED, and the inconsistencies
are relegated to human error or some other accident - then BY DEFAULT
the scientist has accepted WHAT IS, and therefore the existence of God.
Otherwise, peer review would MEAN NOTHING AT ALL, because _EVERYTHING_
would be accidental, nothing would be found CONSISTENT. This is
perfectly understood in my own mind. Why is this so difficult to
understand? If one day the velocity of light was one thing, and the
next something else - that would be evidence to me that God did NOT
exist. If one trip around our sun took 365.4 days, and the next too
2 hours - THAT would be evidence that God did NOT exist. I cannot
accept an ordered universe without God.
... Brace your self, worse attacks on your reason are coming along.
