PDFListen to article By Marilyn Adamson Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe. " Well, here is an attempt to candidly offer some of the reasons which suggest that God exists. But first consider this. Many examples showing God's design could be given, possibly with no end. The Earth...its size is perfect.
The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull.
