There really is no such thing as “science.” There are many different fields called “sciences,” but there is no theory that wraps them all together. Though there are scientists who make claims for a “theory of everything,” no one has come close.

Did you know that about 96% of the universe is composed of two things that astrophysicists label “dark matter” and “dark energy”? We know they are there, but can’t see them or directly measure them.

In other words, only about 4% of what most astrophysicists trust exists can be observed and directly measured. The other 96% is assumed based on the evidence of its effect. It appears that the vast majority of existence is considered reality through trust based on evidence.

Trust based on evidence. Does that sound familiar? It should. This is a good definition of faith!

What if God is real? What if God is the creator of all reality? Then if the sciences are considered our ultimate guide to all of existence, we miss out on the very center of life, God himself.

God is not physical, yet God exists. If God exists then there are dimensions to our lives that may not be physical but are real. If God is real then an education based on the sciences alone would miss out on the most important information of all. Knowledge of God would be absolutely essential. Without studying God, we would be, well, uneducated.

How can we have any knowledge of God if we can’t see him?

We don’t seem to have trouble claiming knowledge of a lot of stuff we can’t see. Like, maybe, 96% of everything?

What are reasons people give for not thinking there is a God? Which argument is the strongest?
