God Exists!: Scientific Considerations in Defense of God
()
About this ebook
Each of us should find the meaning of our life and shoud pursue the discovery of God.
Say to yourself: Here I am, I did not ordain my existence, nor do I know the lenghth of my journey. Fortunately however, I exist and by what I do and that which I do not, I can influence my destiny.
Do the right things in life, long enough, consistently; be grateful and a giver and you will live longer.

The purpose of this written account is to summarize the literature on scientific facts related to the microcosmos and the macrocosmos, to reinforce religious people in their beliefs, and to attempt to persuade those who don’t believe in God, that God does actually exist.
Not too long ago, a federal Court of Appeals in San Francisco banned the Pledge of Allegiance in schools, holding that the phrase under God,
included as of 1954, violated the principle of separation of church and state. The United States Senate, the White House, and many civic organizations unanimously condemned this judicial attack. After years of additional court proceedings, the same court—the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals—finally held that the United States Constitution does not prohibit this reference to God.
