If there is a Creator, why he would be the God of the Bible? 

I have provided evidence supporting the existence of a “supernatural being” who created the universe with design and purpose. Now, I want to explore why the Bible, among all religious texts, offers the most compelling description of this Creator.

The two most widespread theistic religions today are Christianity and Islam. Both trace their origins to Abraham, as recorded in the Bible and the Quran. Islam teaches of a God who is perfect and just, while Christianity expands on this by emphasizing that God is also loving and forgiving.

Justice is a universal human virtue. For instance, every society establishes laws and punishes wrongdoing, reflecting our innate sense of justice—a consequence of being created by a just God. Contrast this with the Greek gods, often depicted as powerful but deeply flawed and unjust. Over time, most people have come to view these gods as fictional creations of human imagination.

Christianity, however, introduces a unique concept of God: God is love. Evidence of this love is evident in the natural world. Earth appears uniquely designed for humanity to thrive. Despite the vastness of the universe, no other known place supports life. Earth doesn’t just sustain life; it enables us to live abundantly. For example, the food we consume is not only sufficient for survival but is also pleasurable. The chemistry of cooking—how heat transforms food to enhance flavor and nutritional value—suggests intention. Consider a perfectly seared steak compared to raw meat; the interaction between biomolecules and fire seems deliberately designed. From an evolutionary standpoint, it’s puzzling why such enhancements exist, as mere survival doesn’t require food to be enjoyable. This points to a Creator who designed the world for us to thrive joyfully.

Another example of this intentional design is Earth’s rich variety of elements. Beyond the basics of life—carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen—we find precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, which provide luxury and enable technological progress. This abundance mirrors the love of parents preparing a nursery for their newborn, complete with a crib, toys, and decorations. Similarly, the Creator fashioned a world not just for survival but for delight. This loving preparation reflects God’s character.

Love is also embedded in our nature. Humanity universally values love as a profound virtue, capable of inspiring incredible and often selfless acts. C.S. Lewis, the renowned Christian thinker, identified four types of love: storge (familial love), philia (friendship), eros (romantic love), and agape (unconditional love). While storge serves an evolutionary purpose—ensuring parental care and survival—the other forms of love go beyond survival. For instance, selfless acts of friendship or sacrificial love have no clear evolutionary advantage. This suggests that love is an inherent part of who we are, instilled by a Creator who values love deeply.

The Bible describes God as love. Before the world was created, God existed in a relationship within the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Created in God’s image, we are also relational beings. The desire for love and the ability to give it are reflections of our Creator’s nature.

C.S. Lewis eloquently expands on this idea in Mere Christianity:

This relational nature of God is central to Christianity. The Trinity’s eternal relationship exemplifies love, and we, too, were created to participate in this divine dance. The world, lovingly crafted for us, and the love imprinted on our hearts, are profound indications that the Creator described in the Bible is the true God.
