An atheist ridiculing Christianity once stated how anyone
could believe that a God could be His own Son, create the planets by Himself,
and take people from the Earth to the Heavens in the blink of an eye.
Imagine two hundred years ago if someone said that someday
there will be boxes sold that will have moving pictures and sound coming from
them, that there will be machines that fly hundreds of miles, and a hand held
device that can let you talk another person far away. Or just try explaining
the internet, and you would be shunned or become the village laughingstock, or
worse. Minds two hundred years ago could not conceive of these innovations of
today, so it is like trying to reason with an atheist.
The skeptic has elevated mankind and his intellect the
highest form of belief on the planet. The Universe and its vastness with
complex living organisms, thousands of galaxies and stars, the regeneration of
life and the miracle of the human body, and the idea there is a Grand Designer
is ridiculed. If Man cannot grasp or touch something in a cold, scientific
method, then it it is to be dismissed as fantasy, or illusion of a world of
myths and stories. They worship on the alter of the physical world and their
own comprehension of it within the realm of their own intellect. No Higher
power exists, and it seems a very lonely and cold way of having an outlook on
life.
In John 3:1-21, Jesus talks with the Pharisee Nicodemus and
the concept of being born again. Nicodemus thought Jesus meant literally born
again, and asked Jesus how this was so. "If I have told you people about
earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about
heavenly things?," was His reply. I think the same concept applies to Man
in general as well. There is enough proof of a God around us. The oceans deep,
mountaintops crowning the clouds, the emerging butterfly from a cocoon, a newly
born baby, a bluebird in flight, the endless expanse of the Universe, the
gracefulness of a gazelle, and the ingenuity of technology from man from the
depths of his developed mind. "
I'm glad there is an all seeing Heavenly Father above
guiding and loving us, rather than us floating in this galaxy alone by our own
devices and shallow understanding.
