Does God must exist?

Imagine you're playing hide and seek, does that mean someone has to be hiding? Not necessarily! But if you keep finding people who are hiding, it might feel like there's a rule behind it.

God is kind of like the person who starts the game. Some people think God must exist because everything in the world feels like it was made on purpose, just like how someone plans a game before it begins.

Why some say "Yes"

Think about your favorite toy. It wasn’t always there, someone had to make it. In the same way, some people believe that the whole universe needed a maker, and that’s who they call God.

Why others say "No"

But what if you never saw anyone start the game? You might still play, just like how some kids think the world can be explained without someone starting it. So maybe God doesn’t have to exist, but it's okay if He does!

It’s like asking, “Does my friend have to be there for me to enjoy playing?” No, but it’s nice when they are! Imagine you're playing hide and seek, does that mean someone has to be hiding? Not necessarily! But if you keep finding people who are hiding, it might feel like there's a rule behind it.
