Do You Believe In God?

As Christians we believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We believe that He made us and also made the Earth as a house for us to live in the vast universe.
It seems to me that God has left His fingerprints and footprints all over creation for us by faith and cause to come to know Him bigger. For example, if you were walking encircling your neighborhood and noticed a turtle on a fencepost, you would by cause know that someone had been there and placed that turtle on the top of that fencepost, realizing that the turtle could not have done it by itself.
Likewise, when we gaze encircling our earth, we will see many more of these turtles on the fencepost or bigger yet footprints of our Creator.
Example, scientists tell us that there are four main elements necessary for our bodies to live and those are Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Fluorine. It turns outside that all four of these elements are common on our Earth however nowhere else in the Universe that we know of. Fluorine is exceptionally rare in the Universe however not here on Earth. It looks like someone made our Earth for us to live on. What do you reckon?
Immediately my favorite example of a turtle on the fencepost is our moon. We have a most unique moon! Most human beings capture it for granted however our moon is a one of a kind moon. Consider this, no one has ever seen the backside of the moon. How can that be? Since the orbit of the moon encircling the Earth is exactly the same as the age it takes for the moon to revolve one age. Immediately I mean exactly the same not one second different. How can this be? Looks to me like it was made that path. There is no other logical explanation. No path could it have happened by chance.
Finally, I have been following the employment of scientists and physicists as they try by cause alone to give explanations for how the Universe came to be. They are not Christians for the most part; some claim to be atheists and they have recently acknowledged that the Universe was made. I thought to myself – wow they are going to accept a Creator. However, they came to the conclusion that the Universe made itself since it had to. I suppose they would also believe the turtle got on top of the fencepost since it had to.
Thought for this week – Thank God for the bountiful Earth He made for us.
