How Do I Know There Is a God?

Lightning over the outskirts of Oradea, Romania.


Can you find your way to where lightning is launched,
   or to the place from which the wind blows?
You don't for a minute imagine
   these marvels of weather just happen, do you?
Job 38: 28-30

Do you know where Light comes from
and where Darkness lives
So you can take them by the hand
and lead them home when they get lost?

Job 38: 19-20




Photographs of actual snowflakes taken by farmer/photographer Wilson Bentley in 1902.

Have you ever traveled to where snow is made,
seen the vault where hail is stockpiled,
The arsenals of hail and snow that I keep in readiness
for times of trouble and battle and war?

Job 38:22-23

"Can you catch the eye of the beautiful Pleiades sisters,
or distract Orion from his hunt?
Can you get Venus to look your way,
or get the Great Bear and her cubs to come out and play?
Do you know the first thing about the sky's constellations
and how they affect things on Earth?
Job 38: 31-33




Thunderstorms over Brazil, seen from STS-41-B Challenger in 1984.

Can you get the attention of the clouds,
and commission a shower of rain?
Can you take charge of the lightning bolts
and have them report to you for orders?
Who do you think gave weather-wisdom to the ibis,
and storm-savvy to the rooster?
Does anyone know enough to number all the clouds
or tip over the rain barrels of heaven
When the earth is cracked and dry,
the ground baked hard as a brick?
Job 38: 34-38
