"Let me tell you about all these historical documents and events that prove the validity of the Bible and how the world was intelligently designed. There is too much evidence not to believe in God."
"Most of the events and stories in the Bible were made up and could not have possibly occurred. Some of the Bible's stories are very similar to other texts. The Bible is unreliable."
I am constantly bombarded with opposing views about the Bible. How can I find a belief in God without having to rely solely on the testimony of others? Or is that the only thing keeping the belief in God alive?
You can find a very logical , reasonable , scientifically confirmed belief that a personal Theistic Creator is necessary for what we have by way of personal, intelligent, information-based effects that make up our reality...by digesting the following and by asking yourself if the atheistic explanation is more credible . The Universe declares the glory of God and always has and always will, and Science will only confirm this more n more ; what real Science has and will continue to show is that Atheism is a completely bankrupt system for explaining the Universe, and its close buddy called Secular Humanism is simply all about making Self his own Master thru the denying of God . If you've been thru a Public School System then you've been lied to over and over again thru Secular Humanism ideology / religion ... and now it is time to get on board the Truth-Train so you can experience firsthand your true ultimate reason and purpose in being alive during this moment in history : To get to know the Creator, Your Creator, in a close loving way so when you enter eternity it will be so very natural to adore and honor him. Hope to see you there.
Heres a very brief rundown of the alternative to God NOT existing :
1. Non material entities such as our personality, consciousness, will, emotions, love, reasoning, logic, and abstract thinking....all derived from materials such as rocks/dirt/planets/and hydrogen gas.
2. A Universe which has a great many examples of intelligent intervention, came from Nothing by Nothing for no reason whatsoever.
3. Informational messages as found in the specified complexity of the DNA Molecule which tells a cell how to form and how micro biological systems are to be constructed...came from Nothing. They just popped into existence from nothing then proceeded to be a blue print and Builder of a complex Cell so busy and intricate that its been related to the infrastructure of a major U.S. City by Biologists (atheist and non atheist alike) . Two atheist Scientists in the last century calculated the chance of life popping into existence the way Atheists claim at a phenominal 1 in 10 chance to the 40,000 th power . That's how impossible Atheism is for origins.
4. There isnt a shred of purpose or reason to this life ...even though we as Human Beings contradict that every day of our live by how we live.
5. We are just a little above the animals of the Forest in value and dignity., and essentially are on the same order of importance as an earth worm.
6. Everything is purely accidental including morals and ethics...and it is silly to hold to such in any form and to any level. There is nothing that is absolutely and objectively wrong therefore...and it doesnt even make sense calling the extermination of 6 million Jews and Christians in Nazi Germany 'wrong' , for it is just opinion to do so if morals are accidental and there is no higher objective Moral Law Provider (God) .In fact, there is no objective reason for Mother Theresa being 'better' than Stalin or HItler.
7. Everything is utterly futile by placing any value on it, for, nothing in an accidental Universe could have any deliberate value. Therefore, we have no intrinsic value ...and we are no different than the Bird in the tree who struggles to survive in a valueLESS reality. A human baby we see arrive into the world is completely void of any value whatsoever and if it dies there should be absolutely no anquish or sorrow shed. In a futile world, there is no room for regret .
I could on..but suffice it to say that carried to the end....belief in No God (atheism) is THE most illogical unreasonable and devastating to society faith-based Religion ever to be devised by Man.
If you want to bolster your faith in God, get the book called 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist' from
www.amazon.com for about $5 for a good used copy. It will solidify your trust and faith in Gods existence and love for you and will erase all doubts. Plus, it will allow you to come back to the professed 'Atheist' with overwhelming evidence that they will not be able to logically explain.
