Why Believe That There Is a God? %K natural theology %K the Existence of God %K Natural Laws %K theism %R %X This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them. The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and that those bodies are the bodies of reasoning humans, who choose between good and evil. %U https://ri.urd.ac.ir/article_46544_648af92b294e34391f27f0a34b77622c.pdf
