Does God exist? Absolutely! As Christians we have a plethora of evidences and arguments at our disposal by which we can show there are rational grounds to affirm the existence of God. Such arguments include the Kalam Cosmological Argument, Moral Argument, Teleological argument, Ontological Argument, Argument from Reason, etc. In this session, we explore how the reality of human value points to the existence of God.
