Why I Believe In God

I believe this is the simplest--reasonable--answer I can give to those who are looking for a logical explanation.

I believe in God because I do not believe in randomness. I believe that the concepts of "Cause and Effect" and "Randomness" are mutually exclusive. What we perceive as randomness is truly our finite understandings of how all things are infinitely entangled and effected by each other. This evidences "Order".

If every cause is truly an effect of a previous cause, then the only resolution for that paradoxical "First Cause" is that this "First Cause" must have transcended all natural laws--must have even transcended creation itself. Only by not being bound to natural law can the "First Cause" not be required to be preceded by another cause. This evidences the law of "Transcendence".

If there is order--and no randomness--in everything we see, then reasonably, I must conclude that I am not random. And if I am not random, then it is reasonable for me to believe that I have been caused into an "ordered" existence by something much greater and "transcendent" than myself, greater even than the universe--God.
