We’re hearing that the founder of Facebook, who many
thought was an atheist, has had his heart opened to the fact that there is a
God and returned to his roots as a Jew...What a wonderful revelation it must
have been to him these many years from his blindness. We can only continue to
pray that he and so many like him seek deeper and grow as they find the true
source of life, joy, peace, truth, etc…..Jesus!
On atheists, Dr. D.James Kennedy, the mighty minister
of God at Coral Ridge Ministries, once wrote in his book, ‘The Presence of a Hidden God’ pg.24, something about atheism that is interesting...I will pass it along
somewhat condensed. “Quite a few years ago I was invited to debate an atheist
on the radio. The first thing I asked this doctor was, “Are you an atheist?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Do you deny
the existence of God?” He said, “Oh
absolutely.” I said, “Wonderful. I suppose you understand that atheism is
irrational.” He said, “What do you mean?
Of course not.”
Dr. Kennedy then said, “Atheism, of course, is a
universal negative. Atheism says there is no God.” Everyone who has studied
logic knows what my friend on the radio didn’t know: it is impossible to
prove a universal negative. If you
say there’s no such thing in the entire universe as little green men, let me
assure you, you can’t possibly prove it. Should you travel to every planet and
every star and through every galaxy in the entire universe and come back and
tell me you didn’t see one, I would simply say to you, “well, you missed
him. While you were going that way, he
was zigging this way.” You would have to
examine every single part of the universe at the same time. I’ll say it again: it is impossible,
according to the laws of logic, to prove any universal negative.
A universal negative is when you say, “There’s no such
thing in the universe as....” –as little green men, angels, or God. Therefore,
atheism is a logical contradiction, and to affirm a logical contradiction is
irrational.
A thought: If we could wrap our minds around the
infinite God, we would be greater than He is.....Part 1of 4
