The Higher Points To God

 

Christianity says that God is perfect, and that He created the universe. I think it’s easier to believe that that is the profound reason reality is as it is than the naturalistic alternatives. It’s odd to think that the universe is naturalistic and infinite for no profound reason, or that it is finite but came into existence for no profound reason, or that we have a multiverse for no profound reason. And if we posit that there is a profound reason behind everything, it’s much more plausible that it’s God than some other profound reason – especially as there are so many strong reasons to believe that God has made Himself known in creation.

I also think that in terms of knowing God in creation, the following holds; the higher the excellence experienced (in truth, love, goodness, grace, justice, mercy, compassion, generosity, wisdom, and similar virtues) the more it reflects God revealing His nature to humanity, as these virtues are a reflection of His Divine perfection
