An atheist from amongst those who attended Bible exposition of Dating Daan asked Bro Eli Soriano what is the basis for saying that God exists? To which Soriano wisely cracked, what is the basis of the questioner for asking such a question. It is a smart retort. Surely, a denial of something is an indication of the truth
Indeed atheism is a growing trend in 20th Century (it started exploding in number in 19th century) A new trend is that of humanism rather than divinity. Humanism says that source of the knowledge of goodness right and wrong comes from man, as in Confucianism or Hinduism. Philosophers like Kant Fried Marx say that religion is invention of men and is used to oppress others
And since they can not be seen or be proven by data, God does not exist
From Philosophy Basics
Going back to Soriano, citing facts from the Bible and other sources even facts from cosmos, and scientists, Soriano says that the earth could not have come to being just out of sheer random event or Big Bang theory. Rocks could not grow life on its own, or water, or even other single celled animal could not have evolved into men without supreme being intervening. There is so much logic and so much perfection in this world in the universe that only a supreme Being like God could have willed it.
And at the moment of truth, of death, many atheists turn back to God. Only God holds the key and answer to the question of death. Healthy and good people die. Why? Only God knows the answer, and if and only we accept that truth. Those who are in denial will surely not find the answer
He cited the case of vultures. Vultures have such strong acid content in their digestive system that they destroy all bacteria and diseases from the meat they swallow, even Anthrax. Thus farmers feed their dead animals suspected of having deadly diseases to vultures. This unique character came from Supreme Creation a God. We should be thankful that there is God governing the earth with goodness and love
