Introduction I will focus on the intention of proving that God exists. Some people believe that God is real and that He was the one who “created” the world and who put Christianity together. I personally believe that people who aren’t religious or do not believe in Jesus Christ or God aren’t really up to standards with how the world was created and who the Miracle Worker of it all is truly.
