2) On God and Existence
As discussed in my last note, man clearly exists. Existence must have a source, according to observable science. I would like to note that the scientific non-spontaneous generation idea is a law of this univese, nothing larger( as far as we can tell). This is important to remember, because there is an ultimate, self creating force, but it is as large or larger than or univese. It could be our universe, or a larger force. Whatever it is, though, its existence affects us (we are the "final product" of this entity,if you will). Now, to borrow from Francis Schaeffer's ideas, it makes sense to say that man is a pesonal (social, individual, etc.) being. Nature is impersonal. Impersonality does not spawn personality, so two conclusions are left to man. We are either impersonal machines, or personal beings created by a personal force. This personal force is a god, as no other idea has yet been offered up. The force is necessarily the Christian God, but my next note will discuss this matter.
