Start with this observation from the Bible, in the book of Romans,
chapter 1, and verses 18 to 20:
"But God
shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the
truth by their wickedness. They know the
truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since
the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything
God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and
divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God." (New Living
Translation)
The indication here is that each person is
created, perhaps instinctively, with the knowledge that God exists. The
complexity of a single cell, the vastness of the universe, the very existence
of life on this planet all point to such a conclusion. As an illustration,
suppose you were walking through a field and noticed a watch lying on the
ground. As you pick it up and examine it, you're not likely to be wondering if
it evolved or about its purpose, because there is evidence of design and the
creator / manufacturer will most likely be indicated either on the face of the
watch or on the back.
