How do you personally know that Antartica exists? Through reason (unless you’ve been there).
I know Antartica exists. I know that is a fact, even though I’ve never “experienced Antartica” for myself.
Think about that for a minute: I know that something is a fact, even though I’ve never directly experienced this fact for myself, as much as I know that the color of the sky is blue. It’s a fact Antartica exists. Only a crazy person would deny that.
That can be said with as much certainty as anything. Not because we have all been to Antartica to see it for ourselves. But because we can use a reasonable method to know its true, with 100% certainty.
Same with God. It’s the only reasonable answer to the question: how did everything come into existence when there was nothing to start with? Because you can’t have something starting everything, unless that initial creative “thing” is outside of the time and space created. And any answer that posits some force outside of time and space that is not God, still only pushes the question further out but never resolves the central issue: where did all this stuff come from?
It (belief in God) starts from there and never ceases to be just as reasonable thereafter. Only the current, post-modernist “culture” says differently. Only “they” demand that only something you can experience with your 5 senses is “real”, but yet they still believe Antartica exists, despite their own demand to the contrary.
Don’t be a slave to the world’s mentality. Be your own person, a person who didn’t exist before he was created.
A bit wordy, but I get your point.
There is also evidence that this planet has been visited by aliens over the last few thousand years. To be clear, I am not saying I necessarily believe that it occurred, but the evidence is there and in some cases is pretty compelling.
The point is that there are more stories about how we all got here than the biblical account. And if the story of how we came to be is open for discussion, so is everything else that follows.
