Does God exist? Yes, God exists. How do you know God exists? For God is the best thing, and the emanator of all that exists, all that is good. So, as long as we exists we know there is something. And as long as there is good, we know there is God. Moreover, there is…

Does God exist?

Yes, God exists.

How do you know God is the best thing?

For as long as there is goodness and we can say one thing is better than another, there must be a best thing. To which all will give the name of God.

How do you know the universe is ordered?

Both observations of the sense and of the mind testify that this is true.
