When we reject God, we also reject the possibility of constructing a rational worldview, one that is logically consistent. For example, the atheist says many things that fail to make any logical sense. One just excoriated me for believing in God. He charged, “There is absolutely no way that you can be certain that God exists.” How does he know this? Has he examined and debunked every evidential claim that God exists? Where is his supporting evidence? I don’t think that Jesus’ Apostles would ever take such a view after all the evidence they had seen. Instead, we can simply ask the atheist, “How can you be certain that we cannot be certain? It is not logical for you to claim certainty when we deny us that possibility.”
They also claim to be “freethinkers” even as they deny that freewill is even possible. Go figure! Likewise, they often claim, “We don’t need God to be good.” However, they do not even believe that there is any objective good or justice. Instead, they believe that these are just concepts that we have invented and that they have no existence outside of our minds. However, when it suits them, they make-believe that these concepts are real.
These are just a few of the logical conundrums we encounter once we reject the existence of the Absolute Source of all being and truth. However, the God-denier experiences greater problems once they try to put together a coherent worldview system. For example, the atheist refuses to abandon the concept of “human equality.” So many of the causes that the God-denier pursues are based squarely upon the concept of equality. However, they cannot rationally sustain the belief in equality. Why not? From the atheistic perspective, which denies the existence of anything extra-material, human equality is nowhere to be found in the material world. Some of us are tall, others short; some are male, others are female; some are healthy, others are not; some are productive, while others are destructive. Where is the basis for equality apart from the Biblical revelation that we are all created in the likeness of God?
Related to this, our entire legal system represents the protection of humans and not fish or mosquitos. But why doesn’t it include all life forms, even the Ebola virus? There is no adequate atheistic rationale that it shouldn’t. The value of humanity over the animal kingdom rests exclusively upon God and not nature.
