From the Paper:

"Whether or not there is an existence of God has dominated school debates in philosophy classes for thousands of years.
Proof of God's existence can be argued with a study and discussion about creation. There are two basic facts when it comes to the existence of mankind. Either there was a beginning of existence or there was not a beginning of existence when it comes to mankind. Atheists believe there is no beginning when it comes to the creation of mankind and therefore society."
"The universe is expanding. This has been scientifically proven in recent years and with that expansion comes a better understanding of the creation process and the fact that there had to be a beginning. It is a fact that the scientific community calls a singularity (http://www.doesgodexist.org/Phamplets/Mansproof.html).
The fact that the sun provides a never ending supply of gas and energy is also an evidence based proof of God's existence. If one were to drive a car without ever putting any more fuel into it the car would eventually run out of gas. However, when one scientifically looks at the sun one realizes that if the sun and the cosmos and the universes have been here forever without a beginning it would have run out of hydrogen gas."
