Atheists, like evolutionists, are forced by virtue of their worldview, to believe that creation came about through the following process: Nobody times Nothing equals Everything! In fact, without even realizing it, atheists must exercise a great degree of faith to believe their creation mantra. No wonder the psalmist proclaims: “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). Not only that, but for the atheist he must also believe that he came from nothing and when he dies he goes back to nothing. His task is therefore to find meaning in between these two states of nothingness.
For the atheist when life throws him a difficult trial he has no way to make sense of the suffering he has to endure. In fact, he can’t even blame or curse God for his suffering because he doesn’t believe He even exists. Since the atheist has no god to believe in he places himself as the supreme person in his universe and spends the rest of his life searching for a reason for his existence. Searching every pathway, every byway, overturning every stone, examining every philosophy, and experiencing every feeling, as he comes to the end of his journey, the answer he finds is that none exists!
The next time you confront an atheist you might want to use some of the logic contained in the following quotes to hopefully show him the folly of his belief system.1
“The more thoroughly I conduct scientific research, the more I believe that science excludes atheism.” – Lord Kelvin
“Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” – Isaac Newton
“The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.” – Dante Gabriel Rossetti
“Christians believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. Materialists believe in the virgin birth of the cosmos. Choose your miracle.” – Glen Scrivener
“I am persuaded that men think there is no God because they wish there were none. They find it hard to believe in God, and to go on in sin, so they try to get an easy conscience by denying his existence.” – Charles Spurgeon
“It always amuses me that atheists often argue for the existence of extra-terrestrial intelligence beyond earth. Yet they are only too eager to denounce the possibility that we already have a vast, intelligent being out there: God.” – John Lennox
“As Christians we accept one big miracle: God, and everything else makes sense. An atheist denies God and has to have a miracle for every other thing.” – John MacArthur
“To be an atheist you must have infinite knowledge in order to know absolutely that there is no God. But to have infinite knowledge, you would have to be God yourself. It’s hard to be God yourself and an atheist at the same time!” – Ron Carlson and Ed Decker
“The believer in God must explain one thing, the existence of sufferings; the nonbeliever, however, must explain the existence of everything else.” – Dennis Prager
“Atheists express their rage against God although in their view He does not exist.” – C.S. Lewis
“This option, that the universe created itself, is fraught with problems. The idea that anything could create itself is absurd. For it would have to exist and not exist at the same time. Friends, that’s irrational. For something to create itself, it would have to be before it was. Well, this violates an ironclad law of knowledge: the law of non-contradiction. The law of non-contradiction states: A cannot be both A and non-A at the same time and in the same relationship. For example, you can’t be at church right now and not at church right now. You are either HERE or NOT HERE. So then, it’s absurd to suggest that the universe existed (A) and didn’t exist (non-A) at the same time. But that is precisely what would be required for the universe to have created itself. So surely, the universe did not create itself.” – Charlie Campbell
