"Because God won't answer their prayers,many people believe that there is no God. That's like saying Don Gossett does not exist because he did not answer his telephone."

COMMENTARY
The issue of God's existence is a much debated one. The debate actually rests on Creationism(that's the biblical explanation for all things that exist in the world today), and Evolution(a theory which was developed by Charles Darwin and argues that human beings, animals and objects came into existence through scientific processes over a long period of time).
You may call me biased, but I find Creationism far credible than evolution. After all, Creationism is a STORY and Evolution is a THEORY. A story is far more reliable than a theory. For instance, imagine two people came to your house. The first person gives you a vivid story of your ancestry with illustrations. The second person however, gives you a speculation( that is, what he has seen and heard and his guesses and assumptions).
Obviously you know by now that, theories are based on hypothesis(assumptions). That is why we have scientists disagreeing with each on almost every subject of research. Sigmund Freud(1856-1939), founder of the Psychoanalytic Theory, a profound school of thought in Psychology, disagreed with his own students on some of his scientific findings. In the end, he had to sack those students that disagreed with him so as to defend his findings.
The Creation story provides much evidence to prove the existence of God. The Bible helps to explain the architecture of the the universe. Creationism explains step-by-step how everything we see in the world today, came into existence. The Creation story is contained in Genesis, which is the first book of the Bible. All persons wanting to do a critical analysis of Creationism and Evolution should read the full creation story so as to be able to make a more objective assessment.
