Evidence of God Fact of Existence Every effect has a cause except the universe's creation. God must have been the initial cause (because nothing else existed). Counter: you are claiming that the universe must have a beginning, but that God is eternal (since He existed before the beginning). If you can imagine God never having been created, then you should be able to imagine the universe without a creation also. Morality Personal Experience The Bible Types of Christians Fundamentalist - every sentence of the bible is literally true and inspired by God. Pure Creationist - don't believe in evolution. The world was created and fully populated in 4004 B.C. Loose Creationist - science is within God's created universe. Evolution is correct, but it's God's work. Divine Moralist - our decisions are influenced by God and Satan. Soulist - the point of life is to preserve the soul's integrity for the life hereafter. Interpretist - the Bible is God's word, but it must be scrutinzed and interpreted to yield its true meaning. Personalist - the Bible is merely a guideline to aquaint one with God. God-inspired realizations take precedence over the Bible. God is your companion and your religion is tailored to you as an individual. Spiritualist - there is some spiritual force at work in everything. It is described by all religions. God, Buddha, whatever; the universe has a soul.
