I have been so disheartened as of late seeing, reading, and hearing about many people who have not only doubted what once they "professed" to believe, but ultimately end up rejecting God. Prominent anti-theists such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens has for many years sought to wipe the notion of a Deity out of the world. Evolution is heralded as science, while the belief and study that the world was Created seems to have no merit in this day. You are a scientist as long as you embrace Darwinistic teaching and utterly repudiate any idea of ID (Intelligent Design). Sadly, if Darwin could have fully grasped the complexity of one living cell, I do not believe he would have been so foolish to assume that out of primordial soup triggered by electric energy life could have somehow been made.
Still, you have many scientists that are willing to hold to the view that an advanced alien race planted a "seed" of life on this earth and then just said, "Have fun!" Others think that the raw components that make up a living cell traveled on crystals forming and somehow made life. Even more interesting to me is the quickness of how an ardent Atheist will defend his confusing position by land-blasting the idea of God and the evils of religion. They stoop to childhood bully qualities and rather than producing science, they profuse vehement anger. It would seem that if an atheist truly held to what he taught in that "there's no room for God" his thoughts would never dare bring God up. He would not "waste" his time thinking about God, but for all of them, they tend to spend 50% of their time saying that all "science" points to evolution and then 50% of the other downgrading God who is supposedly non-existent. Why?
Paul states in the later part of Galatians 5:6, "....faith worketh by love," and 1 John 2:5 reads, "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him." I have begun to realize that for someone to say they do not believe God, because they find no evidence is obviously not the whole story. Romans 1 shows that everyone has the outward evidence of Creation, the inward evidence of Conscience. I would also like to point out the evidence of spiritual Cravings in one's heart which can be denied, but ultimately is I believe deep within every person.
Thus, when someone denies God, they are stating, "I do not care about what evidence I have seen. I do not want to believe in this type of authority," and if faith works by love, then unbelief works by hate and ingratitude. They are not "thankful, but become darkened (Romans 1)" to the evidence of God. This is why so many atheists seem to save their most vicious rhetoric for the topic of God's existence. This is why many in schools are silenced for holding to the view that the world had to have had a Creator. Unbelief in God is bolstered by a disdain for Him. Particularly the God of the Bible. They hate God. True He is, in their minds, a fairy tale, but one worth despising.
I begin to see that it is no longer an angry God who sends simple minded, unbelieving people to hell, but a supremely loving God that gives ardently rebellious and hate filled people a choice. They choose hell, because they don't want heaven, not because God has not made Himself known and is just angry. No. He loves and is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Ultimately, Christ's love is the greatest thing we can show and share to this darkened. Let us love continually. God foremost and then love our neighbors and our enemies. While they spew out their hate through false claims of "science," let us penetrate all doubt and magnify the reality of Christ by God's LOVE in our hearts! Perhaps the reason why there are so many skeptics today is not the increase of "science" but the decrease of Christ's love shown. I wonder.
