Even if you do not believe in God you cannot fail to recognize that there is an order in nature and, consequently, that there must be an intelligence that created that order. Reflect for a moment on the fact that each seed reproduces its own kind. How is it possible not to see that this must be the work of a higher intelligence? The mere recognition of this law is enough to make us change our vision of the world. You may not believe in God, but you cannot deny the fact that every seed produces exactly its own kind, whether it be a plant, a tree, an insect, an animal or a man. This law is absolute and should make you think.
You may perhaps allow yourself to be ungrateful, unjust, cruel or violent, but if you do, you must know that sooner or later this law will catch up with you and you will see its application in your own life. If you have children, for instance, they will resemble you and through them you will suffer from your own behavior. Even if God did not exist, you have endless proof of the fact that a cosmic intelligence exists.
