TrueU #1: Does God Exist?

We want to look at the big questions. Questions like, does God exist? Who is God? The reliability of the Bible. And we're going to be looking at it from the standpoint of evidence, logic, and reason. I think there are answers. And I think it's really important that you sort out these big issues about whether there's purpose in the universe, whether there might be a God, whether you can know that being. What the new atheists are saying is that science suggests that there's no positive evidence for God's existence. Actually, the new atheism is the old atheism repackaged to make bestsellers. But I think it's completely out of touch with the most current developments in science, which I think support the very opposite worldview conclusion. And we can evaluate whether those worldviews have the causal power to produce the kinds of evidence that we're going to be looking at. Cosmology, physics, biology, evidence from the natural world. The existence of God provides the only coherent account or explanation of an objective morality. So when we find information in the DNA molecule encoded in digital form, the best explanation is that that information also had an intelligent source. Belief in God is, as one of the historians said, much more credible now than any time in the last 100 years. It's the best explanation of all of reality and experience. And that, for me, is why I believe it.
