Abstract
This article argues that among the various arguments in favor of the existence of God, they all show that there is only one God, not many. It also argues that this God must be infinite, for He is beyond the finite world that He created. Furthermore, this God must be personal because He is intelligent and moral, being the Intelligent Designer and Lawgiver of the Moral Law. The present article concludes that this God is a spiritual and supernatural Being, as He is beyond the physical and natural world. He, too, can work miracles because He has already performed the greatest miracle of all – He created the world. Thus, we realize that the evidence points to the existence of a God, according to the theistic worldview – an infinite, intelligent, perfect, personal, and supernatural Being.
