Using this logic, we can say that the choice is not between the ‘universe with God’ and the ‘universe without God.’ Instead, the real choice is between the ‘universe with God’ or ‘no universe at all.’ As we cannot opt for the proposition ‘No universe at all,’ we are compelled to opt for the proposition ‘The universe with God.’ MAN’S EXISTENCE IS PROOF OF GOD’S EXISTENCE In the vast universe, man denies God’s existence even though man’s existence is the most extraordinary proof of Divine existence. If a being like man exists, then God indeed exists. All those qualities present in perfect form in God are present in imperfect form in man. If an imperfect being exists, then a perfect being also certainly exists. Believing in one and not believing in another is a logical contradiction that no person with a thinking mind can countenance. Rene Descartes, a renowned French philosopher (15961650), was faced with the question of whether man exists and what the rational proof of his existence is. After a long reflection, he answered, “I think, therefore, I exist.” Descartes’s answer is a logically sound one. But this logic, which proves man’s existence, gives us something more significant: the rational evidence of the existence of God. In the light of this rational principle, it would be correct to say, ‘thinking exists; therefore, God exists. Thinking is an
