Reasons Christians
Give For Believing in
God!
The Cosmological
Argument: the universe
must have been made
by God because it
couldn't have been made
itself.
The design argument:
the universe has
evidence of being
designed according to
plan, supported by the
story of Paleys watch
William Paley came up with
the design theory. He
suggested that if you found a
pockey watch and opened the
back up, you would see
evidence of a skilful
watchmaker, a desugner. He
then said if you look at the
earth, you have to conclude
that there is a skilful designer
that designed it. This he
argues has to be God
Morality: right and wrong
and our knowledge about
existing
Personal experience
Family Upbringing
The first cause theory. This theory simply

believe God doesn't
exist

wrong in the same way.

performed miracles during his life to
show that he is the son of God

Most Christians believe that Jesus coming back to
life was the biggest miracle.
Other miracles that Jesus performed was:
turning water into wine, fed the 5 thousand,
and gave a blind man his sight
Many Christians visit Lourdes today
in the hope they might receive a
miracle
