The essay I chose is "Does God Exist-Scientifically" by an unknown author. As iterated in the title of this composition it tries to validate the existence of God scientifically rather than from a moral or philosophical point of view. It tries to use hard facts to authenticate God. The author believes that it is much easier to answer the question of God from a moral or religious stand point rather than from a scientifical one. The existence of God cannot be calculated by math or by physics, but rather by forensic evidence. The essay uses the argument of the vastness and complexity of space to affirm the existence of the Almighty Creator. Another example it gives is the intricacy of the human life. How we went from an egg inside of our mothers, to an elaborate and convolute individual. The article then asks the reader to dive into their conscience and try to adapt all of these truths with the theory of randomness and chaos. The author simplifies his answer with a few main points he uses to reaffirm or reassess the reality of a God. The first argument used by the author to validate God is causation. This basically states “that God is the best explanation for the universe and everything that it contains” (1). The alternative theory is the Big Bang Theory and that nothing exploded into a vast and intricate universe. The next contention is order. This states that God is the best answer for the world’s numbers, mathematical formulas, chemical processes and equations, and laws that nature, itself, abides by. The surrogate is that the chaotic first elements ordered themselves into byzantine information systems. The next argument is that God is the designer of the universe. He is the only coherent answer to the complexity of the planetary, stellar, chemical and biological systems. The proxy is that chance created all design. The next point he emphasizes is that God is also the only explanation for the DNA embedded in us that controls all the functions of life on Earth. The alternate theory of that is the complex code, which states that processes can appear without any type of programming. God provides an answer to the separation of the human brain and conscience. Monism is the alternate which believes that only matter exists and that the human brain only appears to be separate. God is also the best explanation for the emotional and moral fabric of human beings. The opposite theorem is that processes higher human perception and consciousness.
My exegesis of this paper is that it does prove, in a form of science, that it is possible God does exist. The science is not a complex equation that solves God’s existence, but a forensic science that evaluates clues left to us from past generations. I also agree with the paper that it is a more of an individual examination of the evidence then a true laboratory experiment. It is a self journey, a self evaluation of us to make a hypothesis of the existence of a supernatural being. We’ve been given the information from all aspects of human thought, and we should make a just judgment accordingly. It is, truly, a very arduous topic and usually is overlooked by most because of traditional values and faith they have. It is almost heterodox to question the reality of God, and some believe they will be discriminated and socially outcast if they do.

On a lot of your posts you start off saying the article I read...You just need to stalte the article (punctuated correctly) and begin your discussion.
