That is simply inaccurate, and quite honestly one of the dumbest things I think you have ever posted.


I agree. There is no evidence of a God. In his books The Case for a Creator and The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel does not present any evidence of a God. Instead, he simply criticizes evolution and the Big Bang, and those who advocate them, but presents no science to support creationism. That's true of the wide array of books I've read that advocate a creator. Their content is criticism, but not evidence.


Of course there is evidence for God. How the universe exists, the planets and how they move in their rotation, the perfect environment to sustain life here on Earth, the intricacies of the human body, etc. all testify to the reality of a Creator. Blind evolution and other explanations secularist scientists have come up with to explain away a higher power is what is weak and hardly convincing.

In any event, like I said, none of this is the real reason why people claim not to believe in God. Few will admit it but the real reasons are inevitably emotional. They are angry, they've been hurt, they see the evil in the world and can't reconcile it with there being a God, etc.
