All the empirical evidence and reason suggests that, for anything to exist — i.e. “to be,” there must be an eternal, self-existent and all powerful being from which all being is derived. To think otherwise is logically inconsistent. What you acknowledge as that eternal being is another matter. That’s as far as the evidence and reason can take us.

I’m a Christian, and I believe that our being is derived from the eternal, triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), who created all things ultimately for his glory and our good. This God is fully revealed to us in the Son’s incarnation as the perfect man, Jesus Christ. Christ came to seek and save us for eternal life with God by the sacrifice of his life on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. God has foretold and promised this in scripture.
