An atheist was walking through the woods one day in
Alaska, admiring all that evolution had created. "What
majestic trees! What a powerful river! What beautiful
animals!" he said to himself. As he was walking
alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes
behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 13-foot Kodiak
brown bear beginning to charge towards him. He ran as
fast as he could down the path. He looked over his
shoulder and saw that the bear was rapidly closing on
him.... somehow, he ran even faster,so scared that
tears came to his eyes... He looked again and the bear
was even closer. His heart pounding in his chest, he
tried to run faster yet.
But alas, he tripped and fell to the ground. As he
rolled over to pick himself up, the bear was right
over him, reaching for him with its left paw and
raising its right paw to strike him. "OH MY GOD!..."
Time stopped....... The bear froze. The forest was
silent. Even the river stopped moving .... ...... As a
brilliant light shone upon the man, a thunderous voice
came from all around "YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL
THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND EVEN
CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC ACCIDENT! DO YOU REALLY
EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO
COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?"
Difficult as it was, the atheist looked directly into
the light and said, "It would be hypocritical to ask
to be a Christian after all these years, but perhaps
you could make the bear a Christian?"
"VERY WELL." said God. The light went out..... The
river ran...... The sounds of the forest
resumed........ and the bear dropped down on his
knees, brought both paws together, bowed his head and
spoke:
"Lord, thank you for this food which I am about to
receive."
