God's existence is shown by creation, as well as other things. But if one see's creation, one realizes that it's obviously complex. All of these things are driven by information. The entire universe is based on Information. Information comes from somewhere: it does not just appear. Think of the universe as a computer. Though the computer is full of information, and even requires the info to run, the computer's ability to create info is limiteed. In fact, the computer cannot create info. It can only process the info it is given, and run on it. It is the same with the universe. The universe can only run based on the info, it can't create it.
Someone or something had to create the universe. No amount of chance could do it. Matter and energy cannot have always existed. Why? because as energy is converted to heat, it is lost to the universe and is no longer available for use. In this way "energy is used up". Therefore the universe has a limited amount of available energy. This available amount is obviously not growing. The universe must have had a beggining.
Evolution, in its atempt to formulate a non-personal begining theory, cannot acount for how the matter and energy of the universe came into being. Evolutionary theory can try and show how the universe came from a small amount of matter, small in the sense of one tightly packed atom or particle cloud, etc. But it cannot explain where that cloud or atom came from. There must have been something that created the atom, and the matter n energy must have been created from nothing.
There are two options for who might have created the universe and all that is in it. Either it was some impersonal force, or it was some God-like being. An impersonal force isn't capable of doing it. Why? because it is impersonal. What i mean by impersonal is that it holds no emotion and that it helps no one-it doesn't care. How could an impersonal force create a world with beings that display emotion? How could an impersonal force Create emotion itself? It is impossible.
The only thing left is a God. From here one must choose which one. There are Many so-called God's in the world. There are many religeons. What distinguishes God from the Rest? Many religeons are based on someone who is dead. Jesus Christ is alive, Budha is not. Most religeons are based on the events of the past. This is also true for Christianity, but it is not only based on the past-it is based on the future as well, because we look for the final Triuph of Christ and an eternity with Him. Evn the present is Covered in Christianity, because God is always with us and will never forsake us. As Christians are in a relationship with God, He has left us the Holy Spirit to guide us. Because other religeons are based on some part of History/future, they are unable to encompass the whole of life and invalidate themselves.

And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.
