Christians normally do not try to prove the existence of God to unbelievers by reading from the Bible, since atheists do not believe it is from God.
However, reading an easy-to-understand argument for God’s existence would be appropriate. These verses give such an argument.
About 3,000 years ago, King David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth” (Psalm 19:1–4).
We examine the heavens from afar and come to the logical conclusion: There must be a Creator of a thing so big, beautiful, and well-designed. The heavens and the earth testify day after day and night after night that “He who built all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4). “There is no speech nor language” (meaning no group of people) who cannot understand this truth. People may choose not to believe it, but the evidence “has gone out through all the earth” (Psalm 19:4).
How do you account for the fact that the earth is just the right distance from the sun for life to exist on earth? How did the moon get into just the right spot in space to control the earth’s oceans? Why do the sun, moon, earth, and stars travel in precise, predictable patterns? The fact is, the amazing design of the heavens “shows His [God’s] handiwork” (Psalm 19:1).
