Do Atheists Really Mean It?

In my conversations with atheists, I’ve had many say that if they just had more evidence for God’s existence, they’d believe. But, do they really mean that?

In my conversations with atheists, I’ve had many of them say that if they just had more evidence for God’s existence, they’d believe. But, do they really mean that?

I find that, no, they don’t. When I give them evidence that confirms there’s a Creator behind life and the universe—such as DNA—they just claim it’s not evidence and just interpret it through their secular worldview.

I’ve had them say, “if there’s a God, why doesn’t he come and show himself?” Well, I respond, “he did! And they crucified him.”

Yes, the problem isn’t the evidence. The issue is the heart.

So, what can we do to reach them? Well, that’s for tomorrow.
