The Three Thesis of Theism

The Bible starts with simple premise - God exist; and not only exist, but is the Creator. Before we can understand biblical theology, we must first have theology. Without God, the Bible has no meaning.

Genesis 1:1, In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.

I propose the following three thesis to argue the existence of God.

I. The Supernatural Supersedes the Laws of Science.
The Laws of Science are not absolute, at least for God. God is not bound by the Laws of Gravity or Thermodynamics. If He were, He would not be God.

• By Definition, God is a Divine Supernatural Being. God is omnipotent and has the ability to trump the Laws of Nature which He created.
• By Definition, Miracles are the Acts of the Divine. If God wanted to display His Divinity, He could do so by performing miracles. The Bible are filled with such acts.

By Definition, Miracles are the Acts of the Divine. If God wanted to display His Divinity, He could do so by performing miracles. The Bible are filled with such acts.

II. It Is Impossible to Disprove the Existence of God.
One needs to do the following to disprove the existence of God.

• Must Disprove ALL Miracles, not only the ones in the bible. One act by God proves that He exist.
• Must Demonstrate the Natural Laws are the ONLY explanation of all events.

Miracles are not confined to supernatural acts alone. Often ordinary acts are acts of God. For instance, a young lady in my church was diagnose with cancer and not given long to live. The church prayed of this woman and her family. After going through chemotherapy, the cancer has gone into remission. This is a miracle. Was it of God? - I believe it was.

III. Revelation Is Grounds for the Divine.
Hebrews 11:1 & 6, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not see.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

• Since this is an act of God, it is Miracle.
• Agnosticism is the Only Alternative to Theism. One either knows God exist or doesn't know God exist.

One can't know that God doesn't exist. This is my argument for the existence of God. If God exist, one should try to find out if he does exist. Belief or denial will not change this fact. Of course if God doesn't exist, my belief does not create him. But then what is the source of my faith and the faith others. You must prove all revelation is not real.
