I'm sure many of you have heard this song by the Newsboys. In the music video, they show a guy reading a Time Magazine article from the 1960's. This portrayal is not just a dramatic scene, it has basis in truth. In 1966, Time Magazine released an article entitled 'Is God Dead'. The article goes on to talk about various scientists and, even, many inside of the Church, that believed that God had died. Or, at the very least, the actual God from the Bible had disappeared due to man's many flaws.
Now, fast forward to present day America. My fiancee emailed me an article that she had found. 'Does God Exist? - The Question'. It talks about how scientists have been scavenging for an answer to this very question. They talk about how this question encompasses all other of life's most fundamental questions, which I sort of agree with. Since I know that God does exist, that means I will be living my life and viewing important decisions not on a basis of how I would gain. I would be making all of these decisions based on what God wants according to His Holy Word or what His plan is for me and my loved ones. Now, atheists, depending what their moral values are, would be either making these decisions based on what would most benefit them or their loved ones. I can't of course go on to explain how this question would effect the many different belief systems and religions all over the world, but, you can see how it may effect everything you say, do, or think.
It goes on to discuss the fact that, before we can ask ourselves if God exists, we need to ask whether we are ready to accept the answers that we receive. If we already have our minds set on one way or another, we can never be open to the facts or supernatural miracles that are presented before us. Next, the article gives a long list of things that science has concluded that actually helps prove the existence of the one True God:
1) Astronomy has proven that the universe had a beginning
2) Microbiology has found a vast amount of information in our molecular make up, and information = intelligence = design = designer
3) Biochemists & mathematicians have calculated the odds of life coming from non-life without intelligent design, and the odds are astronomically high. They, actually, cannot even determine if it was possible.
4) The universe has laws. Where do they come from?
5) Philosophers have concluded that the only way that we could have a conscience or a moral code is if a Law Giver was present to decide what was considered right or wrong.
6) Finally, a representative from every race, creed, religion, intelligence, etc. has had a brush with the supernatural world, i.e. angels & demons. How could that happen if not for the fact that it exists?
So, as you can see, even science is now saying that God, or, to them, an intelligent being, exists and designed our whole lives. Please, don't be taken in by the people who use this opportunity to say that God is an alien or group of aliens. Or, that someone is an earthly manifestation of God.
Jesus says in Matthew 24: 11-12:
'And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity [lawlessness] shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.'
