Why should I believe in the existence of God?

- How can I be sure that something I have not seen exists?
- If there really is a God, why does He not show Himself to us?

Dear Brother / Sister,

First of all, we should us state that a letter cannot be without a scribe. It is a necessity of reason, conscience and fairness for a person who sees a letter with the eyes of his head to see the scribe who wrote it with the eyes of his heart. If even a single letter cannot be without a scribe, it is not possible for the whole book to not have a scribe.

Similarly, each person is a letter in the book of the universe, but it is such a letter that has trillions of cells in its body and that contains a summary of the book of the universe it is in.

So, is it possible to deny the Creator who did this with the eye of the heart though we see it with the eye of the head?

So, as you put it, “believing in God” is a requirement of reason, conscience and fairness.

Besides, the condition of believing is not seeing. Man cannot see a large part of the existing beings. Although 90 percent of existing nature is not the subject of our perception, we believe in their existence.

We become sure of the existence of what we do not see thanks to the mind. The mind says that all these beings must have a reason for existence. Although man is the highest being of nature, he is nothing in terms of creation; he cannot create anything. If man, as the most superior being, cannot be the cause of these beings, we need a reason such as N to explain existence; it must also be a being unlike us and other beings.

In short, N is God himself, where the chain of causes ends.

A visible thing becomes a natural being; a being subject to time and space becomes finite and limited like us.

God’s invisibility is due to the necessity of His existence.

If something is visible and perceived, it means that it has lost its feature of being God.
