Indications that there is a God come from two main sources: (1) the natural world around us—the physical universe we will call it—and (2) peculiar types of experiences that individuals have within certain forms of life. The biblical and the classical sources out of which our contemporary ways of thinking about God arise take the physical universe to be conclusive evidence for the existence of God. Familiar words from the Bible show this: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1). "O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. . . . I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established" (Ps. 8:1–3). "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge" (Ps. 19:1–2).
