One of the major ideas of this section was the reasons to believe there is a God. One is Paley’s “Watch and the Watchmaker” which shows how the world is to complex to have come about by itself. Another is the Golden Ratio, which is a number that appears commonly in nature. The Kalam Argument says that since everything is made by something else, and since the universe is a thing that something had to make it.

One thing I want to remember from this section is the watch and the watchmaker argument. To me it is a very simple and easy to understand explanation for why a God has to exist

Another very important thing I want to remember is what we learned about Jesus as a person. We learned that he was in many ways just like us, he faced doubt and times of trouble he was in no way “bulletproof”.

The last thing I want to remember from this section is the is the idea of Kalam’s Argument. Just like the watch and the watchmaker it is a simple and effective argument for the existence of God.

One good question- Since Jesus WAS fully human, why am I unable to act like him?

One thing I could do from this study to be more faithful is truly in my heart believe the arguments for God’s existence that this section explains. I say how simple and convincing they are but still at times am doubtful. I should listen to them and strengthen my faith in periods of doubt.
