JEFFREY MURRELL :
Some people's need for objective evidence that God exists to have faith in Him is contrary to the very notion of faith. Some have faith based on personal experiences. They have proof that has been given to them and them only. But they can't tangibly or coherently share it and, sometimes, that is conveniently (or jealously?) labeled "mental illness." They say an all-knowing God should know persons of true faith, but many people are so arrogant they presume how God should be or act. For example, what if God chooses, for whatever reason, not to know some things, even though He can know them? So they are smarter than God and they have it all figured out, relying on an absence of evidence of God as all the proof they need to stick with the argument that there's no God. But that's a fallacy because "no evidence" ≠ something's not there. It's frustrating. I know because I was an atheist, too. Dr. Stephen Hawking was convinced God doesn't exist because there was, according to the Big Bang Theory, a point in time nothing existed. But did he ever consider that time to God is not linear, but circular? Jesus (God) told us, "I am the Alpha and the Omega…" He's the beginning and the end of everything. That's a lot to get our human heads around. Dr. Hawking was obsessed with black holes and the Big Bang Theory. But some astrophysicists are backing away from the Big Bang Theory and theorizing that the universe did spring from something - a black hole! Einstein did the math and figured out that the human brain is really a receiver. But he couldn't figure out from where or what (or whom) we receive signals to our brains. Einstein never admitted any belief in God, but he was intelligent enough to be open minded enough never to have completely denied God exists. Biology 101: You exist solely to multiply/reproduce. That's hard science. If someone wants to know if there's more to life than just Biology 101, then he or she should go to a quiet place all by themselves and ask God (unless they're afraid to)! What's the harm in it, if God's not real (as opposed to "Pascal's Wager")? Nothing may very well happen. But, then again, he or she might eventually be surprised ...
