Question by msbrook3: Are atheists really as bright as many claim?did you know that the rocks fond outside the earth floating in spa
space are the same age as the one found on earth based on the carbon dating system? Can anyone explain?
A recent conference in Crystal City,Virginia included the usual insistence by atheists that “God is
a myth” & “children must not be taught religion” (Castillo 2007),Oxford professor Richard Dawkins unleashed his typical militant
,intolerant tirade agasint Christians. He insisted:Religion is not the root of all evil,but it gets in the wayof (determining)how
we got here & where we find ourselves….& that is evil in itself”(Castillo,emp.added).Ironic,is it not,that if atheism is true
& there is no God,no absolute,objective evil even exists. That means that
Dawkins must use the term”evil”to refer simply to his own subjective opinon.
When asked to state the main difference between believers & atheists,Dawkins unhesitatingly quipped:”well, we’re bright” (Castillo)
Apart from the arrogance,let us make certain that we have grasped correctly his senitment.
In order to be an atheist,one must know(& thus be able to prove)the following(see Warren & Flew,1977,pp.7-8,55-58):
!. Matter is eternal,having existed non-congently,without a beginning.
2.Matter is all that exists.
3.Matter has always existed.
4.No one piece of matteris worth anymore than any other piece of matter.
5. By sheer chance,dead matter became living matter.
6.By sheer chance,dead matter conscious matter.
7.By sheer chance,dead matter became a human being.
8.By sheer chance,dead matter developed conscience.
But the atheist cannot know or prove any of these eight items! Even modern science acknowledges that the Universe is
not eternal(see Miller,2007,2[4]:30-31).These eight are but a fraction of the insurmountable
barriers to proving atheism.Yet,we are assured by one of the world’s leading atheists that they are “bright.
Professing to be wise,they became fools…….[and]exchanged the truth
of God for a lie,and worshipped and servered the creature rather than the Creator” (Romans 1:22-25)
