Me: Nothing can't do something.
Atheist: Provide empirical proofs that this is true.

Me: Either the universe is eternal in some form, or it is finite in time, and was caused by nothing, or it is finite and something/somebody caused it into being.
Atheist: Prove there are no other options.

Me: Either there is a God / Gods, or there are no Gods.
Atheist: Prove there are no other options ( Farting pixies ?! )

Me: A women can either be pregnant or non - pregnant.
Hey, that's LOGIC. It seems I am required now to become a spoon feeder of basic logic.... to freethinkers, aka, non-thinkers.

Atheism: An unknown caused an accident by accident. That accident created other accidents, which somehow through a lot of time caused the most fantastic and most complex and organized self-replicating factory of the universe. Atheism is better described as miraculous Accidentalism.

Atheists commonly claim there is no evidence of Gods existence.

Have you EVER seen an atheist being upset because of that supposed situation?

What I rather see is, that they do defend that position as if it was their life and physical survival at stake.

They do commonly absolutely everything to keep that view alive.

It's Zombie - worldview - feeding. The patient cannot die.

It's their apparent freedom at stake - they absolutely hate to be accountable for their actions towards an all powerful, all knowing God, which knows their sins.

As Jesus said: They love darkness more than the light.

But man is made to have a spiritual life - to cultivate a higher being. That's why many create their own God, one, that is shaped precisely the way they want  God to be. Not bothering them in anything.

But in what tragic situation would we REALLY be if there were no real revelation of the author of this universe and life.

We do not know everything about God - we would become and equal us to him. Our knowledge might be a fraction of his - and so our mental power and intelligence.

But see how much he has revealed himself. We know his identity, he became flesh and walked amongst us. What greater revelation could we expect? Well - we can. The Bible tells us that the walk of the faithful is gradually evolving.

What today seems a veil, a shadow, something only partially clear, one day will be revealed: We will know God as HE knows us.

His promises are truly fantastic. The seeker can already today make amazing discoveries in the natural world, that are not behind, providing similar emotions as a ride on a rollercoaster - IF we seek knowledge.

Gods work in nature, in the universe, and in the microworld, is astounding. But only a few seek.

Seek, and he will give you valuable treasures of knowledge, which will permit you to contemplate his wisdom and awesome intelligence and power as only a few in history have been capable of doing.

There has NEVER in human history been a greater body of knowledge of natural science. But the average believer rarely seeks to gain knowledge and understanding and does not know how much he misses....

In the same sense, as the body suffers and perishes for lack of bread, so does a mind die for lack of truth and light.

Atheists love to use the word "fallacy".

Matthew 7.3: Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

They always look to find flaws in the theists worldview, but never scrutinize and see the absolute failure of a worldview without God, to which they adhere.

Nobody would give a remote chance to find out the secret login code to someone else's account with seven positions from an alphabet with 26 letters.

But the faithful in naturalism are confident and think its reasonable to believe, that chance and a random lucky accident, and enough time,were able in a distant past, to find out the right rna sequence to specify 224 thousand positions, to produce the right amino acid sequence of a minimal proteome set of 560 proteins, required to kick-start life.

makes perfectly sense.

The more atheists ramble against Gods existence, the more opportunity they give us to demonstrate why they are wrong, and God is the best explanation for why there is something, rather than nothing.

The atheistic worldview cannot give compelling answers to the meaning of life, the existence of objective moral values, nor the fact that free will exists. These three alone would be enough to convince ANY honest seeker that atheism is false.

When unbelievers ridicule the inference of God as magic, they seem not to be aware that replacing a creative intelligent organizing power by random unplanned and undirected unguided events, THAT is in reality the appeal to "magic" that can't be demonstrated to be possible to occur.

The greatest moment in life will be the resurrection. When we wake up again, open our eyes on the other side of the grave, feel our new bodies suddenly being vitalized with new energy, hearing the trumpets and being called to the encounter with the Lord, and eternal life begins. It will be the fulfilment of the hope of every believer in Christ, and God the father and the holy spirit.

The greatest nightmare will be when the atheists also resurrect and realizes that his worst nightmare is real. The God that he denied during all his life on earth is real and will judge his sins. It will be absolutely terrifying when he realizes his lostness and separation from the force and loving God that sustained his life all along since his conception. That he was loved, but rejected Gods love, and will have to remain separated for all eternity.

Greater foolishness, there is none, than to live autonomously to God.

Greater wisdom, there is none, than to live closer to the Lord, trust and follow him, and listen to his voice, and obey his commands. Doing right and carry HIS burden is not difficult when our heart is renewed, made new by the holy spirit, which guides us to all good choices and ways to go.

Atheism is nourished and flourishes only because of and based on lack of information, wilful ignorance, wishful thinking, bias, bad will, bad education, lack of understanding of science and sound inference of scientific evidence,, blind faith in its prophets like Dawkins, misinformation, bad philosophy, blindness of spiritual reality, misunderstanding of Gods character and straw man arguments, and implicit and explicit lies, and an extraordinary nonsensical faith in chance and its supposedly magical powers.

Based on evidence seen in biochemistry on a molecular level, we can now say affirmatively and conclusively, that Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection in regards of first degree macroevolutionary level has been falsified.

The real mechanisms that explain biodiversity and complex organismal architecture is preprogrammed instructional complex INFORMATION encoded in various genetic and epigenetic languages and communication by various signalling codes through various signalling networks

That brings us to the origin by an intelligent designer.

Unbelievers live always in doubt. " What if.... ". Hell?? What if the Muslim God and Muslim hell are true? So they try to distract from the uncertain situation they chose to be in. Attempt to appease their fears and doubts. They inflict to themselves emptiness, unrest, cognitive dissonance, and spiritual death.

They trade what the heavenly father has prepared for them, for autonomy which is self-delusional, because all they get is slavery to their self.

A Christian has peace in his heart. God gives peace, grace and forgiveness to the believer. Peace for knowing:

" I found the truth."

And peace for knowing: God has forgiven my sins and given me eternal life. No fear of death anymore.

Our parents here on earth, when they die, mostly have some inheritance to leave for their children. Which son or daughter would refuse to receive it?

But God Almighty has the most precious inheritance for his children: Christ's sacrifice made it possible. He died and his death opened the doors. What belongs to him, he gives to his children. Eternal life, First here on earth a fulfilled life in his presence, and then where he is, in heaven. No sin can and does separate us any further. There is no greater gift than this.

He will share the place where he is, with us. Small limited rebellious sinners. First, he purified us. Gave us a new nature, adopted us from our miserable state and made us new, and then gave us a new nature, a new heart, hope, peace, and eternal life.

What a tremendous God, what a tremendous plan. What tremendous and privileged fate for us, believers.

A man that has just enough material things to have a decent normal life, but has Christ, has more than a billionaire without Jesus.

Glory to HIM.

The law of cause and effect has never been broken.
Non-existence cannot produce existence and reality. Therefore, there must have always been something. Non-existence has never been. If there were ever a state of non-being, then there would still be the same state, and we would not be here.
The existence of being is maybe the greatest mystery which the human mind has no access to. Jesus could have elucidated, but he stopped by confirming that God is eternal. God himself does not go deeper to explain why there is something rather than nothing.

But the mystery deepens further when we become aware of how intelligent God is. We cannot fathom it. It is beyond our reach. We can only grasp the surface of the surface. But that makes us also aware of how precious life is. God confirms it by saying, that who destroys his own body, God will destroy that person. We do not own ourselves. God is the owner of all creation. Our destiny is ultimately in HIS hands. That's why God commands us that we glorify HIM in our bodies. I think that includes our physical body, but also our mind. What God probably means is that we should aim to do his will both through our actions, but also through our mind.

There are people that only think about earthly things. But believers and followers of Christ are called out to put God and his kingdom first, and all the other things will follow. God takes care.

Most of what humans do is nonsense. Is senseless. Whatever is done autonomously to God, is in fact meaningless. See the gross production of Hollywood movies. Total nonsense and emptiness. See most expressions of art. The same.

Human enterprises become meaningful when they focus on the creator of all things. All else makes no sense and misses the goal of human being.

The dispute between evolutionism and creationism will never end. People that favour the No-God hypothesis can always resort to luck , multiple trial and errors for millions of years to create life, or, in case of evolution, multiple mutations and selections all at once to somehow produce the various cells and their intrinsic make up of proteins, which work in an orchestrated and coordinated manner, in a joint venture, together.

The credulous can always come up with just so stories like co-option, convergent evolution, and extend their explanations ad nausea, without the need to invoke God. There is no limit of credulity and speculation and made up just so stories when someone wishes one scenario to be true.

Even multiverses can and are being portrayed as perfectly scientific, rational, and making sense. There is no shame to propose the most outrageous assertions and scenarios when the final end is to be achieved: Not to permit Gods foot into the door.

A supernatural, magical daddy in the sky? Oh no !! No God allowed. And there is no evidence of his existence anyway. He has never shown up - so the claim !!

In the end, it's just about personal preference, and what explanation someone favours, strongly influenced by bias and will. And there is a dish for everyone....

But we, followers of Christ, no matter what, will keep being light. Courageously, without fear !! Proclaiming the Gospel. Proclaiming the good news. Proclaiming: There is hope. There is a God. And he cares for every one of us. He is love, just, but also gracious and forgiving. And he has prepared a place for each one who loves and follows HIM. One that is perfect. And eternal. And where joy and happiness never ends.

And there is no God deniar that can EVER stop Gods followers to proclaim HIM and his goodness to the nations. Never. Ever.

The evidence demonstrates that the true myth of creation and origins, in our age, is evolutionism, not creationism. It is sustained by the claim that evolution is a fact, and that there is broad consensus amongst qualified evolutionary biologists, and specialists in the field.

The only problem is, that the evidence is not only lacking, but explicitly pointing to another direction. Namely pre-programming of codified information and signalling, both, on genetic, and epigenetic biological systems and molecular biochemistry level, which also directs adaptation, commonly called microevolution.

Either our existence is a miracle in any case, and then the common objection of unbelievers calling God creating " magic " is disingenious at best, or then, alternatively, the origin of reality and being by natural means should be so obvious, that there should / would be no questioning in its regards.

Darwins idea is so dangerous because if we accept it, then it influences our worldview in a deep determinant way.

If Darwinism is true, it undercutts the necessity of a creator, and if there isn't one, we can live as ife there isn't one.

And we can rule our lives upon how we wish, without having to consider that someone out there and above us - is watching, and taking notes....

Proteins are the ultimate working horses and driving forces of life. If someone wants to explain how life came to be, it has to be explained how proteins came to be. As it comes out, and that is not hard to understand, and for that reason the cop out of " not knowing" is not justified, the origin of these purposeful molecular machines cannot be explained rationally by natural means. Far too complex is the make of. They also only do their job by the completion of the entire cell factory complex, where they work like a precisely fitting gear in a gearbox.

The gear by its own has no fuction, but the gearbox without all the required precisely fitting gears does not work either. The " all or nothing" claim is well justified, and is an obstacle which i am pretty sure of, darwinism and naturalism will never be able to overcome, and materialism will so always remain in the realm of story telling without scientific evidential foundation, but will keep being believed based on arguments of authority and other well known fallacies.

Assuming the secularism based scientific view that the origin of the universe, life and biodiversity by natural means is true without concrete proofs, is an act of faith to support that belief as much as to believe in supernatural origins.
