Questionable Questions 9-21-25

Scripture: Romans 1:19-20 John 1:18

Kicking off the Questionable Questions series, the message tackles doubt directly: God’s existence isn’t hidden but made plain through creation (Romans 1:19–20). Drawing on Bertrand Russell. “Tea Pot” analogy—that extraordinary claims require evidence—the idea is turned around: instead of silence, God has left His “fingerprints” all over creation. Not in the form of a snapshot, but as cosmic clues pointing back to Him. Five Key Fingerprints

Fingerprint	Core Idea
Origin	Everything exists; nothing-to-something needs a Creator.
Design	Universe finely tuned for life (e.g., Earth's orbit, DNA)—too precise for chance.
Conscience	Humans' innate morals point to a divine lawgiver.
Longing	Unmet cravings for meaning/eternity suggest we're made for more (C.S. Lewis).
Transformation	God-encounters radically change lives, beyond human effort.

Creation whispers: Jesus shouts—His life, death, and resurrection prove God's love (John 1:18).
