       Now that we can see that everything has been designed, that means there has to be a designer. But which one is the correct one? Let’s take a look at the major world religions. It only seems plausible that the real God or gods would want to make himself or herself—themselves--known. After all, the humans he or she has created are social beings. So, why wouldn’t he or she be social? It seems only plausible to me, that of the major world religions, only the oldest ones should be counted as possibilities. Why would the real Creator wait so long to reveal him or herself to mankind? Doesn’t seem likely. Therefore, we can eliminate right off the bat both Buddhism and Islam, for these religions are particularly new religions. Buddhism didn’t come into play until about the 6th century B.C., whereas Islam wasn’t created, as it is now, until 600 A.D. Wow, that’s a really new religion! While Islam acknowledges the Torah, the first five Jewish books of the Old Testament, they say that they are distorted and incorrect as we read them today. They are saying their god couldn’t handle keeping his word pure. That doesn’t seem very trustworthy, then.
