There has been times in which I get home late and, passing through the kitchen to leave the keys, I see a chocolate cake on the kitchen table. My first thought and conclusion, not giving it to much analysis, can be summarized in four words: "My wife made it". If I wanted to explain the cake's existence without the intervention of my wife, and even more, without the intervention of an intelligent design/designer, I would then need to write an encyclopedia, a couple of doctorate degrees, and the help of a couple millions of years to explain in logical terms the emergence and development of the elements that made possible the beginning, development and finished product of the cake as it is.
When we consider infinitely more complex things than a chocolate cake, such as the universe and everything within, the Bible uses only ten words (seven in the original Hebrew): "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gn 1:1). There is no need of further arguments. It is so obvious: "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork" (Ps 19:1). The following verses of the first and second chapter of Genesis focus to build the information on the obvious conclusion that there is someone (God) behind the existence of the cosmos.
Richard Dawkins, and atheist thinker and writer, begins his book, The God Delusion, in the section where the book is dedicated, quoting Douglas Adams (1952-2001): "Isn't enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" But, wouldn't it be even more fairytalish, while enjoying the beauty of the Keukenhof garden, in the Netherlands, to think that it became from nothing and purely by chance, without the intervention of any intelligence?
When we continue observing and discovering the complexity of life, intuition, logic and reason tells us that there must be intelligence in the design and origin of the universe and life. The desire to exclude God from our origins has led man to reach conclusions contrary to natural laws observed and experienced unaware that God's existence is not pending human recognition.
Nature cries aloud the existence of a God; the Bible identifies him. It is Jesus himself, God with us, the Word made flesh, who spoke, and it was done (Ps. 33:9, Jn. 1:3, Col. 1:16), our representative and mediator. Yes, Jesus, who was born and was physically present among us, who died and rose again and invites us to come boldly to His presence (Heb. 4:16).
