My response to a dedicated atheist – Do you think it too
strong, or do you think that love requires these very direct words?
“What if someone told you that they couldn’t detect the
color green – that they couldn’t detect the difference the colors red and green?
You would conclude that they are color blind.
This is how the Bible regards the atheist who cannot see
what is clearly there:
·
Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their
unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to
them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely,
his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since
the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are
WITHOUT EXCUSE.
But even worse, the atheist’s blindness to the evidence of
God is culpable. It represents a willful determination to NOT see.
Meanwhile, science has uncovered further evidence of Intelligent
Design, even radar in bats, sonar in various fish, the ability to detect and
navigate magnetic friends in Monarchs, infrared detection in snakes… The list
is endless and staggering. This demonstrates that no amount of evidence will
ever be enough for some. Even worse, to deny that these examples represent ID
has eternal consequences.
I pray that you will reconsider.”
