Building the Case for God

Topic Notes

Topics:

• Science and Faith can co-exist
• But you can’t prove God exists
• There is not one irrefutable piece of proof for God’s existence
• There is, however, a cumulative case that proves the existence of God.
• Jeff talks about LIFE ITSELF being unprovable
• Talking TIMOTHY KELLER and THE REASON FOR GOD
• If only one person had seen the Statue of Liberty, it would be hard to convince people of its existence.
• Each and every proof for God can be dismissed as a singular piece of evidence.
• However, each piece of evidence builds a concrete case.
• Dave’s imagination is… awesome???
• If you reject the existence of God because the evidence isn’t airtight, then you must reject ALL of reality.
• BIBLE CONTRADICTION: From EvilBible.com
  • HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER? OR NOT?
  • Honor your mother and father: Exodus 20:12, Deuteronomy 5:16, Matthew 15:4, Matthew 19:19, Mark 7:10, Mark 10:19, Luke 18:20
  • Do Not Honor your mother and father: Matthew 10:35-37, Luke 12:51-53, Luke 14:26 and Matthew 23:9
• Many Evolutionists say that our need for religion is a holdover from the old ways, when it helped us survive.
• DAWKINS: Because of Natural Selection, our cognitive faculties cannot be trusted.
• LISTENER QUESTION:
  • In “The Alien Implication” you say if God wants to put life on Mars, He can; if He wants to put life on one of these exoplanets, He can – Yet in your Creation episode (we assume that the listener is speaking of “Biblical View: Old Earth vs. New Earth“) you seem opposed to admitting that if He wanted to create life in six literal days, He can
  • We contend that these two points aren’t related. The point isn’t that we disagree that He can… we believe He didn’t do it that way.
