A personal Creator exists, and a careful person can reason toward that conclusion. The case is not one knockdown proof. It is a set of clues that together point beyond the world, and the life of Jesus tells us which God they point to. Hidden inside the question is a premise that often goes unexamined: that Does God exist? is one question with one kind of answer. Usually it is not. One person is asking about evidence. Another is asking whether right and wrong are real or only agreed upon. A third suspects that believing means switching off the mind. An answer built for one of these can leave the other two untouched.
The argument below is drawn from Jude 3 Project conversations. Alycia Wood, an apologist from New York, treats the question like an investigation. Vince Vitale, who studied philosophy and once assumed science had ruled God out, tests the clues from the physical world. Justin Brierley spent years hosting debates between Christians and atheists on Unbelievable. York Moore was raised in an atheist home and reasoned his way to the edge of despair. Lisa Fields hosted each conversation. Their contributions do not all carry the same weight, and some do not support the argument as strongly as they first appear to.
You will work through the argument one premise at a time and ask of each one what it actually shows, what it only makes likely, and what it claims beyond its evidence. By the end you should be able to name your own question precisely, state the evidence that could bear on it, give the best objection a fair hearing, and carry the result into a conversation with someone whose question is not yours. Set out plainly, the case runs like this:
