I. INTRODUCTION
Without faith, we cannot reason our way to God, but reason should not keep us from God. God created our hearts and our minds. With our minds we consider the evidence of God manifest in His creation. While science and logic are not eyewitnesses to the existence of God, they are powerful character witnesses. We cannot see God at the end of a telescope or microscope, but we can see His character and creative hand reflected in every aspect of His creation. From the fundamental laws of physics, which hold the universe together, to the intricate details in the microscopic building blocks of our beings, the design in God's creation points unmistakably to its Designer. With the mind we consider the epistemological evidence of God the common sense truth that someone who transcends time and space must have caused this universe to come into being. With the heart we confirm what the mind suggests. We sense the yearning for immortality - to be part of something that transcends the mundaneness of this world. We sense the presence of an absence a God-shaped vacuum in our beings that only God can fill. And, when we truly believe, we experience a personal relationship with God Himself our heart confirming what our mind knew all along. The pages that follow will provide detailed evidence of God's existence. We will see that the design of the universe testifies to the existence of an intelligent designer. The biochemical building blocks of life refute the notion that we evolved by random chance. We will explore the existence of a God-shaped vacuum in each of us, placed there by the hand of the Almighty Himself. We will consider the cause and effect arguments for God's creative and eternal existence as a force that transcends time and space. And we will follow the testimony of our own moral instincts, and the existence of moral rights and wrongs in the universe, as evidence of God's law and therefore God's existence. In the final section, the advocate will become the witness and explain how the heart confirms through experience what the mind believes through logic that God exists and desires a personal relationship with each of us.
