Why Believe in God?
Reason #36
If there is no ultimate Good, what will counter man from becoming ultimately Evil?
No one is good except God alone.
- Mark 10:18 (NIV)
If history has taught us anything, it has show how utterly evil, selfish, hateful and merciless man can be. It has also shown his opposite side but in seemingly fewer instances. Just as the second law of thermodynamics prophesies the death and decay of matter, so history prophecies the death and decay of mankind unless he has recourse to some ultimate power to turn the tide of his evil nature. The good seen in the world of today and yesterday always emanates from an association with God - Who is the only Good.
