Let it be said that Dawkins would have swallowed his tongue long ago concerning God’s prooves of existence. Actually, most any one of us would. How can you dispute someone who lays claim over ALL that exists, AND the ingenious functionality of it all?
Essentially, everything that is, is because God created it so. The good, the bad; the necessary, the unnecessary.
“God is He who raised up the heavens/ without pillars you can see, then He sat Himself upon the Throne./ He subjected the sun and the moon,/ each one running to a term stated./ He directs the affair; He/ distinguishes the signs;/ haply you will have faith in the encounter/ with your Lord.” (13:1)
The doubter would rightfully ask God: how do we know you are real?
God would say: look around you. Everything is a proof of His Truth.
“Hast thou not seen how that whatsoever is in the heavens/ and in the earth extols God,/ and the birds spreading their wings? …
Hast thou not seen how God drives the clouds, then composes/ them, then converts them into a mass,/ then thou seest the rain issuing out of the midst of them?” (24: 40)
God’s proves of existence are found in nature; In our life; In the way of life.
It sure as hell isn't an argument that would win over the court; but it is an argument that persuades the soul-- which we all know is folly to faith. Modern science couldn't even settle this case because it is limited when it comes to questions of "Why".
So, judgement is ours to make. His Truth is yours to believe, or not.
Is this a created universe by Him, for us?
“It is He who produced for you hearing, and eyes and hearts;/ little thanks you show./ It is He who scattered you in the earth, and to Him/ you shall be mustered./ It is He who gives life, and makes to die, and to Him/ belongs the alteration of night and day; what,/ will you not understand?” (23: 80)
