The RamBam ztk’l writes in the beginning of his Mishneh Torah that one begins to feel true love of Hashem by looking at His wondrous creation. Through the ‘simple’ act of studying the design of man’s nervous system and how the nerves flawlessly communicate with one another in perfection leads one to undoubtedly recognize the Creator. Rabbi Wasserman ztk’l teaches it is obvious there is a G-d when we see the world and its perfect order. We must strengthen our emuna in Hashem and loyalty to keeping His beautiful Torah.
The Rav of Novardok ztk’l, Rav Epstein author of Aruch HaShulachan wrote in 1903, “There is no greater sign and proof of G-d’s existence and connection with the nation of Israel than our survival of nearly 2,000 years of exile – It is only due to Hashem’s hashgacha.” Logically, the Jewish people should not be here.
Rav Solovetchik ztk’l known as Ish Ha’Halacha writes that the most compelling proof for Hashem is the truth of the Torah. The beauty and majesty of the halachic system testifies to the finest prescription for leading a fulfilling and content life.
Atheism could be caused by a grudge onto G-d due to disappointments and one’s inability to grasp His infinite ways. Our beliefs are bound to our limited minds. Proving G-d’s existence is not the point; it is the deep need to believe that G-d is loving and caring in spite of the difficulties. Dislodging the belief that G-d is ‘out to get me’ is a struggle for many disbelievers. Learning Torah and getting a glimpse of G-d’s wisdom is the perfect way to begin.
