One of the persuasive arguments for God's existence is the "Argument from Beauty" - which carefully considered is quite compelling. That so many places and things in the world reveal great beauty and natural wonders show important attributes of God's sensibilities, creative nature and power. Obviously, naturalism is, realistically, only an argument proposed to explain what came AFTER the Big Bang and the earth was eventually able to support living organisms. But pure naturalism's assertions based upon blind, unguided evolutionary forces cannot explain the existence of beauty. Naturalistic forces should only have driven the development of things that served the needs of survivability. And they sure cannot explain the INSTANT emergence of the universe. It also doesn't seem credible as an explanation for the widespread aesthetic and design beauty we find across the earth. Not only that, but inherent in mankind is a search for and appreciation for things of beauty. In fact, so much art is a celebration of beauty. Artists attempt to replicate stunning landscapes in their paintings. We are powerfully drawn to beauty in people, places and things.
