TO AN INCREASINGLY UNBELIEVING WORLD

Dear Atheist (or aspiring Atheist),

I know you are asking for a proof of the existence of God and only accept as fact, all things that are Scientific. You consider belief in God; as a baseless superstition for weak minds.

Please let me engage you on a few issues, I hope that you can take the time to consider all I have written.

The Explanation that is given by Science for the creation of the earth or our universe as we know it, is the Big Bang Theory! The theory in its simplest form states that a huge explosion occurred, and set in motion what has become our universe today.

One question that this theory has left unanswered is, Who or What set the explosion off? According to Science, we are not told of anything that set off such a huge explosion. It just happened and set in motion the events that became the creation of our universe!

The above, non-caused explosion does not to agree with the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy can neither be created or destroyed, but is converted from one form to the other.

In simple layman terms, you can not have a huge release of energy that has absolutely no source or cause. That energy must have existed in one form or the other before it was released or converted into another form.

With the Big Bang Theory, we are presented with an enormous amount of Energy that set everything in motion for the earth to come about without a cause or a known source. Scientists go on to offer this as fact, without questioning, WHO or What introduced this first creative burst of energy.

The argument of the design and the perfect conditioning of the earth to accommodate life, has not and can not be explained by science.

What makes the Earth habitable? It is the right distance from the Sun, it is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field, it is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere, and it has the right chemical ingredients for life, including water and carbon

We are told by science that if the conditions differed even slightly from what we have them to be, life on earth would not be sustainable. Surely it would take a betting man to think that all this came about by a stroke of luck and happenstance?

As complex a machine as our very being are, can we think we came about without a mind behind it? No complex being created us? No designer? A big bang, without ONE who set it off?

Science has told us to believe our universe with all laws that govern it, and the design that shows in every living came about without a Creator.

Just like a Book written without an intelligent mind behind it? The Alphabets just happened to fall into place to form the right words, which just happened to arrange themselves in the right order into sentences arrange in perfect logical order to form a best seller! That is what we are sold with the Big Bang, and we believe.

While these questions remain unanswered, we have the Evolution Theory thrust on us!

The interesting theory of how organisms advanced from micro-organisms to became the complex creatures we have come to know now. Even when there is no proven or verifiable documented evidence of this in our day or in days gone by of a change of species form one to another, we agree/belief this as fact, because, well, It is Science!

Science in its very own methodology, has an experimental approach, that seeks to test the idea being put out to be verifiable and reproducible.

Yet, we dare not and do not ask the various Scientists/biologist to produce just ONE proof of a change of Species that has occurred based on the theory of Evolution.

Again, we do not question Evolution because it is Science, even when they have no proof to show.

We dare not add to our contemplations, the acceptance of issues that we cannot prove via the scientific method of experimentation. Things like the mind, consciousness and emotions.

You accept and believe all this, but when it comes to the matter of God, you shout for proof.

You scoff at belief, but believe in the above theories that are not provable by science.

In the end, as Stuart Chase said “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.”

The question I ask is, if I live my life, believing in the existence of God, and find that there is no God, what have I lost? Nothing.

However, if I live my life, believing that there is no God, and find at my death that there is indeed a God that calls me to account... What do I stand to lose? Everything, in my opinion.

Think on this.
