Following God’s word brings greater happiness and wisdom in a lifetime. Sacred texts are important historical records, and Christianity is a social system that can be studied and supported by history and science. On the other hand, atheism ignores basic cause-and-effect principles. It is unreasonable to believe that nothingness could create existence since nothingness has no qualities. Logically, before everything we see, there must be an uncaused cause—something that always exists, always has existed, always will exist, and is infinitely complex—that created this complicated universe.
