Questioning fairness shows the existence of God because it shows that there is an understanding of morals, of good vs bad.

since we have within us a sense of fairness, it points to the fact that we were created with it, that there is a God who is good, fair and loving; there is a standard of right and wrong that cannot just appear in people if there was not a Creator, and this Creator is good. especially since all humanity has a sense of fairness.

The universal question of fairness suggests the existence of God by indicating objective moral standards and a moral conscience that reflects a higher authority instilled in humanity.

Because of the existence of God there is a moral law inside of us in which to measure fairness.

I think everyone, at one time or another, has been treated unfairly. It is easy to ask questions like, “Why is this happening to me?” Or “Why didn’t I receive such and such?” Etc. In reality, being treated unfairly whether through natural or moral evil is all a result of a sinful world. There is no getting around that. When I have those thoughts, I often remember that if Jesus himself was treated unfairly, why wouldn’t I? Somehow, that puts things into perspective for me and helps me rely on Him for justice and acceptance.
