Give Thanks that God is Known through Creation

One of the most amazing follies of atheism is its adherents spend time and energy hating God (and often hating Christians), then claim they "lack belief" that he exists. There is no evidence, they say. If they would take off their Darwin spectacles and honestly look around, they would cease to be atheists. (The same applies to agnostics.) Known as general revelation, the Creator has made himself known quite clearly through his creation. However, people willingly and unrighteously suppress the truth.

What would constitute "proof" for an unbeliever? Professing atheists and agnostics demand scientific proof, but this is illogical. They presuppose and then rail against a "straw god" of their own imaginings instead of dealing with the God of the Bible: He is spirit, and not subject to man-made scientific evidence. God's existence is not restricted to scientists or others who may be considered elite, but is available to all.

Interestingly, scientists should be the first ones to proclaim that God exists when they work in their own disciplines. We can be thankful that he has indeed made himself known through general revelation, and specifically through special revelation as presented in the Bible.

Atheists say there is no evidence for the existence of God. When presented with intelligent design arguments, atheists will often point to disease, mutations, and natural disasters that destroy life and the environment. They say something like, “What kind of God would make a world like this?”
