How Can One Convince a Person Who Does Not Believe That Hashem Exists?

Greetings and blessings. We are to open the door to those interested in hearing; there is no need to argue with those who have forced themselves to accept the greatest folly in history — to believe that all the wonderful nature, in fact, every leaf and every worm declares out loud that a wise Creator formed it, and to say that everything is random and created from some strange explosion. Explosions do not build marvelous things, and there is no chance that such a thing happened. The story of the rooting of the theory of evolution is very much like the tale of 'The Emperor's New Clothes'; thousands and tens of thousands of scientists know clearly that it is all one big lie, and they fear opening their mouths lest their livelihood and status be in danger. Occasionally a wise person opens his mouth and questions that 'the emperor is naked' and that the theory went bankrupt even before it was truly born. Millions of dollars have been poured by Western science seeking to deny any obligation to the laws of Hashem to disrupt human consciousness and to teach millions of young people a foolish theory like no other. These facts are known and are slowly leaking out. Indeed, even the concept of humans emerging from dust is entirely illogical. Therefore, we accept the story of creation that Hashem created man from the earth’s dust; nothing comes into being on its own: man did not come from dust alone, and certainly man did not develop alone from a monkey that developed alone from something that preceded it that developed alone from random molecules meeting by chance in the middle of the sea. Ask your interlocutor this simple question: 'Who painted the cyclamen?' Show him the following lines written by a declared secular man: It is possible to prove to any sane person, within two minutes, that Hashem exists. Want proof? Here it is before you (though I know many of you will not be convinced by anything, certainly not by any logical persuasion). Imagine you are walking in the desert, sand and sand around, just sand, and suddenly you discover, in the middle of the wilderness, some stones arranged in a circle. What is the first thought that comes to your mind? Without doubt: someone was here before you, someone intelligent arranged it. Now think for a moment about the pupil in your eyes: it contains two perfect circles, the large circle and the small one, both always colored in wonderful colors — the colors of the eye. Now think for a moment: if you said that someone arranged a rough, imperfect, simple circle of stones in the desert, certainly someone arranged that. How can you seriously think that no one arranged the perfect circles within your eyes? How can you believe for a moment that they "were created by themselves, under the influence of evolution," let’s say, as the foolish Darwinian version? And this is, of course, a metaphor for all nature: look at the crown on the head of the hoopoe bird. Did Hashem not paint that? Can anyone imagine that it painted itself? Look at the anemone, the leopard, the cat. Did no one paint these? Did no one carve them? Forty-seven million dollars were paid for Van Gogh’s painting of sunflowers. And what do you basically see in the painting? Correct, sunflowers, which Van Gogh somehow managed, with his painting talent, to capture some of their living radiance. But what about the artistic quality of the sunflowers themselves? When was the last time you looked at field sunflowers themselves — on your way to some museum, perhaps even the Van Gogh Museum — and admired them themselves? It is clear that the artistic quality of the living sunflowers, the field sunflowers, far exceeds the artistic quality of the sunflowers Van Gogh painted. Apart from their beauty, the real sunflowers also grow and move and look toward the sun and grow anew every year. So how can you compare them to lifeless sunflowers painted on paper? Now, who painted the sunflowers if not Hashem? We live in a wonderful, divine natural world, and we do not truly see it. We are surrounded by amazing, living paintings of trees, animals, flowers, skies, earth, mountains, people, and women, and we simply do not see them due to inner blindness. We live with the world for so many years, and the appearance of the world is almost erased within us. We do not see it. Only in moments of enlightenment do we manage to see the world anew, and it is utterly amazing. Incidentally, Einstein seemingly began to believe in Hashem after studying the mysteries of the atom and coming to know the amazing physical laws existing in the material world. But I ask: why do we have to study the mysteries of the atom to know that Hashem exists? Is it not enough just to see that we have two eyes, two hands, two ears? Who is responsible for that symmetry? And who painted, sculpted, carved, and gave life to every cell in our bodies? Why must we delve into the study of atoms to discover the incredible divine engineering greater than anything marvelous around us? Is it not enough to see the pupils in our own eyes? Is it not enough to see the crown on the hoopoe’s head? Therefore, every part of nature at every moment tells us that Hashem made it ("The heavens declare the glory of Hashem"). Whoever does not see this sees nothing. The entire Darwinian theory is absolute nonsense. Listen to Jonathan Swift, Pinchas Sadeh, Meir Ariel. What is called the "Darwinian theory" is nothing but utter nonsense that does not stand any test of minimal logic. Moreover, anyone who reads Darwin’s "Origin of Species" (and I have read extensive parts of it) will understand that Darwin himself refers to his theory of evolution only as a theory. Only fools and ignoramuses think it is proven scientific fact. For there is not a shred of proof for Darwinism except the obvious similarity between different creatures. That is, it is clear that the cat resembles the leopard. Does that prove that the cat is descended from the leopard (or vice versa)? It is clear that man resembles the ape. Does that prove that one begot the other? Not at all. This only means that Hashem created the world in series, probably. That is all. Everything the theory of evolution actually deals with is placing animals on a supposed progression scale, but it has not a shred of proof that something ever gave birth to something else, even slightly. As Pinchas Sadeh once wrote in one of his poems: "There is no chance. From a date seed, barley will not grow." How can one even look at the entire artistic and engineering wonder of the world and think "No one made this, it happened by itself"? Look at the wonderful fish, the wonderful sheep, the wonderful elephant, the wonderful lion, the wonderful dog, the wonderful butterfly, the wonderful hoopoe. Just by chance, "under the influence of environmental conditions" (sun, rain, cold, warmth, that is roughly it), were all these amazing creatures created? Did that amazing, limitless artistic and engineering development create itself? This evolutionary Darwinian view is so low and so dark that there is no point in discussing it. It is true that most of the supposedly "enlightened" academic world tends to believe in this stupid Darwinism (because it never stopped to think about it again and continues to look through its microscopes at the genetic similarity between creatures, as if that means anything), but this is only proof of the great darkness existing in this so-called "enlightenment." Many people have already made brilliant remarks about this. The great English satirist Jonathan Swift, author of "Gulliver’s Travels," once said, even before Darwin, when evolutionary theories were just beginning to circulate: "I am ready to believe the world is a random collection of atoms about as much as I am ready to believe the most brilliant essay is a random collection of words." There is no stronger retort to Darwinian theory than this. Perhaps one should also quote Meir Ariel, the Israeli poet who died in 1999, who wrote in a mocking song about Darwinism (the song "What’s New in Science"), the following amusing lines... [Poem] These words express the futility of evolutionary ideas. Darwinists probably do not really understand the joke. The question "Who created Hashem?" is misplaced, since only matter subject to known natural laws exists; Hashem is not a body and cannot be comprehended by bodily means. We have no basis to question the origin of Hashem because we lack primary knowledge of what He exactly is. Therefore, Hashem commanded us in Torah not to investigate these matters, as the sages wrote in Tractate Chagigah. One cannot criticize or investigate without being given access to the objects of examination and inquiry. For no man can see Hashem and live. Success — Menashe Israel.
