by: Gary L. Hutchens How many times have we heard the caution, “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.” There has always been an atheistic element within our society, firm in their belief that there is no God. Less committed are the skeptics and agnostics, unsure whether God exists but leaning in the direction of the atheists.
by: Gary L. Hutchens Most people believe in God. But, as noted in previous articles in this series, there are those who disbelieve- atheists,- and there are others who doubt- agnostics and skeptics. There are a great many more whose belief in God is less than solid. Atheists, agnostics and skeptics would pretty much disregard the proofs for God’s existence contained in the Bible. But some who are still in the process of developing a firm, absolute faith in God might also find it difficult to place full confidence in scripture. That’s unfortunate since the teachings of scripture are the basis from which faith develops (Rom. 10:17).
by: Gary L. Hutchens As noted in a previous article, a number of people either disbelieve outright in the existence of God- atheists- or doubt His existence- agnostics and skeptics. Such individuals would naturally place little stock in the testimony of scripture in proving the reality of God. But there are a number of appeals to logic that serve as powerful evidence that God does exist and that He is the divine creator.
by: Gary L. Hutchens Is it reasonable to believe in God, the supreme being, creator and sustainer of the universe? Atheists say there is no verifiable scientific evidence of God’s existence. At least partially based on that belief, they absolutely do not believe in God. Agnostics tend to not believe in God. While conceding the possibility of God’s existence, they doubt that He exists. Skeptics probably hold more of an open mind than do agnostics, but still doubt God’s existence. It’s easy to see similarities in these various views.
