Answering Atheists: Quick responses to Atheist keyboard warriors
Answering Atheists Q1: “Who created the Creator?”
Reply: What illuminates light? See more, here
Answering Atheists Q2:” If God is timeless, spaceless and immaterial…then that’s the same as being non-existent!”
Reply: Your consciousness does not have a spatio-temporal location and is thus non- physical.
Imagine the face of your friend or lover…that image is nowhere to be found in the darkness of your brain or anywhere else in space and time.
All thoughts are non-physical and nonlocal.
If your argument is correct then you don’t exist as a conscious being either!
Answering Atheists Q3: “What did God do before creating the Universe?”
Reply: Does God experience time passing like we do? Does an entity beyond time, have a ‘before’ or ‘after’, I wouldn’t have thought so… But if so, what tells you He did not create billions of other Universes before ours and that billions more, might follow this one?….and what does our ignorance of God’s other works actually prove?
Answering Atheists Q4: Why did God take billions of years to create the Universe? Or allow the earth to be populated by non-humans like dinosaurs for so long compared to mankind?
Reply: Would a fifth-dimensional being be concerned about our human-centric measure of time passing? Almost certainly not. God’s majestic creative power ought to give us reason to humble ourselves before him, not arrogate ourselves. This magnificent universe, and pre-human life on earth is full of signs for people who use their intelligence. For instance ‘If God can destroy such powerful and majestic creatures as the dinosaurs in the blink of an eye, you should always be prepared for God doing away with you and all you possess in a moment’…
Answering Atheists Q5: Why would God care about humans? We only occupy a miniscule part of space; like ants in New York city!
Reply: Our sense of size is based on perspective. So if the world was scaled up a billion times, or shrunk to the size of a bubble… we wouldn’t even know it, if all objects seemed same relative to each other. Nothing is further or closer to God and so size matters not an iota. My son is tiny, but matters more than the deepest oceans and highest mountains to me. God is closer to every one of us than our own jugular veins. The relative size of space and earth matters to us, not to a being beyond spatial limitations
Answering Atheists Q6: We cannot know if God exists, so we shouldn’t believe in him
Reply: Can we know whether the Big Bang happened or common descent is true? If we can, this means we can infer reasonable conclusions about things that cannot be observed directly. Just as surely then, the existence of a Universe when nothing might have been, and with some properties and not others that could have been, leads to the logical inference that a Personal Being of immense power, created it from choice.
Answering Atheists Q7:” But these are all God-of-the gaps arguments…”
Reply: You can’t keep hiding from the truth, between non-existent gaps! God is the only logical answer as to why we have a Universe, there is no gap that could even potentially be filled by another explanation. Sorry.
Answering Atheists Q8: “Of course there are…ever heard of multiverse, theory or cyclical universes? maybe things just popped out of quantum fluctuations…God is just an explanation for those ignorant of science!”
Reply: Why is there a multiverse or a cyclical Universe? … Why are there quantum states or fields?… Why does anything exist? …And why those things and not others?… You cannot escape God as the Being that chooses to bring and sustain the laws into being, without which nothing could ever exist or continue existing. Not even a single quantum particle.
