Evidence for God - Complexity 


We live in a universe that is immensely complex. Everywhere you look, every interaction, every activity is a complex set of finely tuned interconnected events and parts. Take as an example the simple task of eating a meal. For eating to be productive the human body needs a complex collection of bacteria and processes that all must function properly in order for eating to provide the nutrition that the body requires. Looking at any discipline produces a similar conclusion. In every sphere that can be contemplated there is immense complexity. In mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, anatomy, psychology and economics all contain immensely complex processes many of which are far from being fully understood. Add to that the reality that life is more than an interconnected set of events it also contains such things as love, joy, music, pain and laughter – these too contain immensely complex interactions.

But if complexity is a true way to describe life then it demands an explanation. In human experience complex things do not happen by themselves. There are only three possible solutions to a complex existence…everything happened by accident, the universe created itself or someone made it. Complexity points to design and careful craftsmanship… it seems more probable to conclude a mind behind a complex existence than a cosmic accident…


Complexity seems to indicate God.
