Testimony of God

Alma first asked Korihor to give evidence that God did not exist, and Korihor could not give this evidence (see Alma 30:40). Alma then gave the following evidence for God’s existence: Alma’s own personal testimony (see v. 39), the testimonies of members of the Church (see v. 44), the testimonies of the prophets (see v. 44), the earth and all things upon it (see v. 44), the order of the universe (see v. 44).

Speaking of the last two evidences, Elder Gordon B. Hinckley said:

“Can any man who has walked beneath the stars at night, can anyone who has seen the touch of spring upon the land doubt the hand of divinity in creation? So observing the beauties of the earth, one is wont to speak as did the Psalmist: ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.’ (Ps. 19:1–2.)
“All of beauty in the earth bears the fingerprint of the Master Creator”
(in Conference Report, Apr. 1978, p. 90; or Ensign, May 1978, p. 59).
