Man And The Monkey

I heard this on Bob Dutko today and thought it was great.

Imagine if you put a man and a monkey in a room with paint and canvas and lock the door. You hire the best security experts in the world to make sure no one goes in and no one comes out. Then you come back 10 hours later and open the door. The man and the monkey are still there, and the canvas has been painted. The painting is a good knock off of the Mona Lisa.

Who painted it? Unless your a nut or messing with me, you would say "the man, of course".

Prove it.

Its not a trick. You can't. All you can really do is look at the evidence before you and come to the most logical conclusion based on that evidence.

The same is true with the existence of God. Many who don't believe in God say that those of us who do are being illogical. I disagree. With the evidence before me, I find that the most logical conclusion based on that evidence is that God exists, and that it takes a much larger leap of faith to believe in a universe that exists without God.

Rom 1:19-20 says "For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse."

God has indeed given us plenty of evidence for His existence; we just have to open our hearts, open our minds, and pay attention.
