How Do I Know There's a God?


Faith - most important. Based on direct revelation.
Direct Revelation - Bible
Indirect Revelation - Creation
Reason - 1st uncaused cause
Teleological arguement - The organization of the world and universe requires a planner.
Ontological arguement - since the idea of a perfect Being exists, it must come from a perfect Being. (Ryrie)
Cosmological arguement - universe is an effect, requires/denotes cause
anthropological arguement - man has characteristics that individually and collectively demand explanation and together imply a "moral, intelligent, and living" creator (Ryrie)
