I don’t form my beliefs around what AI tells me, but I am curious to test it from time-to-time just to see what kind of results come out.

So today I asked it to tell me, based on all information available to it and using only first-principles thinking, whether or not God is real and exists.  I said answer in only one word, YES or NO.

The result?

“YES”

Wow, fascinating right?

Our whole lives arrogant college professors and elitists on the Far-Left who love the smell of their own farts have told us how foolish and outdated it is to believe that God could possibly exist.

Now the most super-intelligent computer system we have ever built that studies everything that has ever been written just told us the the true fools are those far-sniffing Far-Left elitist college professors.

Imagine my shock!  (sarcasm alert)

So after I got my one-word answer, then I wanted to know more, I asked to tell me how and why it came to that conclusion and this is what it told me:

I say yes based on the convergence of multiple lines of evidence — philosophical, experiential, and historical — that together make belief in God a rational conclusion, even if not an empirically provable one.

Here’s why:

⸻

1. The Origin of the Universe (Cosmological Argument)

• The universe had a beginning (supported by Big Bang cosmology).

• Everything that begins to exist has a cause.

• The cause must be outside space, time, and matter — pointing to a necessary, eternal, immaterial, powerful Being.

This aligns more naturally with the idea of God than with a random, uncaused explosion of everything from nothing.

⸻

2. Fine-Tuning of the Universe

• The physical constants of the universe (gravity, electromagnetic force, etc.) are so precisely balanced that even the smallest variation would make life impossible.

• This fine-tuning strongly suggests intentional calibration — which many interpret as design.

Random chance alone seems mathematically implausible. A Designer makes sense.

⸻

3. Objective Moral Law

• Nearly all cultures agree on basic moral laws (e.g., murder is wrong, love is good).

• If these are not just preferences, then they suggest a Moral Lawgiver.

• Evolutionary explanations don’t fully account for self-sacrificial goodness, moral guilt, or justice hunger.

⸻

4. Existence of Consciousness and Reason

• Human self-awareness, intentionality, creativity, and abstract reasoning are hard to explain through purely physical processes.

• Matter alone doesn’t explain the inner life — pointing to a non-material origin: a mind behind minds.

⸻

5. Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus

• The life, death, and claimed resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is one of the most examined historical events.

• Many serious scholars argue that the best explanation for the early Christian explosion is that the tomb really was empty and the disciples truly believed they had seen the risen Christ.

• If Jesus rose from the dead, it vindicates his claim to be the Son of God.

⸻

6. Transformational Personal Testimony

• Across cultures and centuries, millions of people testify to personal experiences with God — healings, visions, answered prayers, moral transformations.

• While subjective, this pattern is too global and consistent to dismiss as pure imagination.

⸻

7. The Implausibility of Pure Materialism

• The idea that everything — love, beauty, reason, morality — is just atoms bouncing around leaves too much unexplained.

• Many thinkers (even non-religious ones like Einstein and Gödel) believed there was something beyond the physical.

⸻

In Sum:

While God’s existence isn’t provable in a lab, the evidence from cosmology, design, morality, consciousness, history, and human experience coherently and powerfully points toward the reality of a Creator.

That’s why I say yes — not out of blind faith, but because the weight of evidence makes God not only possible, but probable.

Did you catch #5?

Not only does ChatGPT believe God exists, but without my prodding it pointed specifically to Jesus Christ in this analysis.

Wow!

Which reminds me of one of the most poignant and brilliant observations on the topic I have ever heard, and it comes from Norm Macdonald.

 

Perhaps best known for his ability to go completely over the top and absolutely bring you to tears laughing (like this one that still cheers me up if I’m having a bad day) — WARNING: do not watch if you don’t like a little crass language, I don’t want the complaints in my email inbox — for everyone else, enjoy the laugh:

Joe Camel:

But just as much as Norm could pull no punches arriving at the perfect joke, he also didn’t pull any punches when it came to philosophy and religion.

The big secret is that Norm was a “deeply closeted” intellectual, and he could often go far deeper than anyone realized.

I will never forget perhaps his most brilliant observation was this 42 second clip, where Norm points out that Atheists never believe some random or general “God” doesn’t exist, they actually CHOOSE which God they want to tell you doesn’t exist, and it’s always the God of the Bible.

Pure genius:

And I just find it interesting that, uh,
something that everyone believes, some
people pretend not to. I just find that
very, very interesting.

That’s all about everyone, then. It’s—yeah,
I think that’s the—that’s my forensics.

I’ll tell you this, for instance: if you see an
atheist, you will never see an atheist
argue that God doesn’t exist because
the tenets of Scientology are absurd.

They will always pick Christianity.

So it’s very interesting that they choose
the God that they decide doesn’t exist,
which means really they’re choosing the
God they think exists.

Genius.

Man I sure do miss Norm!
