God also loves atheists
Whenever there is a debate about the question of faith, I wonder why it seems that believers feel at a disadvantage. Believers seem to assume that the atheists have somehow won the argument unless the believers manage to refute it. The fact is, on the other hand, it is impossible for atheists to prove that God does not exist. Just because believers cannot convince atheists of the existence of God does not mean that atheists have won the argument. The atheist Bruce Anderson pointed out in his article “Confession of an Atheist”: “It is good to remember that the vast majority of the brightest people who have ever lived believed in God.” Many atheists just don't want to Believe God's Existence. They would rather see science as the only way to truth. But is science really the only way to get to the truth?
In his book: "The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretension", the agnostic, David Berlinski, emphasizes that the prevailing theories about human thought: the Big Bang, the origin of the Life and the origin of matter are all open to debate. He writes for example:
“The claim that human thought is a result of evolution is not an unshakable fact. You just concluded. "
As a critic of both Intelligent Design and Darwinism, Berlinski points out that there are still many phenomena that science can not explain. There is great progress in understanding nature. But there is nothing that - if clearly understood and honestly stated - requires disregarding a creator.
I know several scientists personally. Some of them are leaders in their fields. They have no trouble balancing their ongoing discoveries with their belief in God. The more they find out about physical creation, the more it reinforces their belief in the Creator. They also point out that no experiment can be devised that can prove or disprove the existence of God once and for all. You see, God is the Creator and not a part of creation. One cannot “discover” God by searching for him through ever deeper levels of creation. God reveals himself to man only through his Son, Jesus Christ.
One will never find God as the result of a successful experiment. You can only know God because he loves you because he wants you to know him. That's why he sent his son to be one of us. If you come to the knowledge of God, that is, after opening your heart and mind to it, and experiencing your own personal love, then you will have no doubt that God exists.
That is why I can tell an atheist that it is up to him to prove that there is no God and not to me that he exists. Once you know him, you will believe too. What is the real definition for atheists? People who do not (yet) believe in God.
