Let’s face this question! Is it rational to believe in God? Is God merely a myth—an invention of an ignorant, superstitious past? Many today assume this.

With me—and I hope with the reader—I wanted to know! I wanted to be sure! I questioned the existence of God! Also I questioned the opposing doctrine of evolution. I did not seek to disprove either. But I did research and carefully examine the evidences on both sides of this two-sided question. For this question is the very starting place for the acquisition of all knowledge. It is the foundation for understanding!

In my in-depth research into this question I emptied my mind of prejudice. I sought the truth, whether it was what I wanted to believe or not.

There are the two possibilities of origins—special creation by a Creator God, and the theory of evolution. It has become intellectually fashionable to accept the evolutionary doctrine. It has won popular acceptance in science and higher education. Even many professing Christian denominations have accepted it, if only passively.

Yet, though in the minority, there still remain scientists, educators and fundamentalist religious groups, as well as those in Judaism, who cling to belief in the existence of God.
