Does God exist?

Ok, firstly let me tell you that I am biased. I am a Theist which means that I beleive there is one God the creator and ruler of the universe. Personally, I think the only way to doubt Christianity fairly is to understand the alternate belief under your doubts and then ask yourself what reasons you have for believing it and how do you know your belief is true?

It would be wrong to to ask for more proof for the Christian belief that God exists then for Atheist belief that he does not, but that is what often happens. For those of you who do not believe that God exists here are some thoughts that may help you reconsider.

1) Why is the universe expanding at an accelerated pace? Does this not in some way point to a moment of begining, something initiated by a supreme being?

2) The more we study the universe the more we realize how complex it is. How can something so complex happen accidentally?

3) How can the material world develop innate moral grounding in humans? Does this not point to a moral Creator that built us this way?

4) Our universe is full of fine tuning when you look at how all the various laws and elements fit together. Tiny changes in in any one of these would not allow for human life to exist. Does this not point to a divine designer? God?

5) Finally, what do you think about Jesus and his fulfillment of prophesy, and ressurrection? Is he telling the truth or lying, being honest or deluded? If he is right does that not mean there is a God?

From my perspective I believe that there is quite a bit of evidence to support the existence of God.
