Do You Believe

1
Do You Believe?

• It is impossible to be an atheist,
• Unnecessary to be an agnostic,
• Reasonable to believe in God.

2
Atheist
An Atheist says, I dont believe in God.
God, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus are in the
same realm of un-believability for the
atheist. An atheist has no knowledge of God.
3
But How Much Does Anyone Know?How Much Do
You Know?
4
Imagine if all the knowledge in the universe was
represented by a sphere
5
How much of that sphere do we know?
6
Albert Einstein said, We still do not know one
thousandth of one percent of what nature has
revealed to us.
7
Lets say were a thousand times smarter than
Einstein.
8
In that case, we would know one percent of the
total knowledge of the universe.
9
We could represent that one percent by a circle
in the sphere
10
An atheist believes within his circle, there is
no knowledge of God.
11
An atheist also believes there is no knowledge of
God outside his circle.
12
To be an atheist you believe God doesnt exist,
not just within your circle, but the total sphere
of knowledge.
13
But, how can you know what you dont know?
14
Can you really say what you wont find outside of
your circle of knowledge.
15
After all, the rest of the sphere could contain
anything.
16
Its impossible to say, you know what you dont
know.
17
Since, an atheist only knows a small percentage
of all knowledge
18
its impossible for an atheist to say God does
not exist.
19
An Agnostic says, Within my knowledge, God does
not exist.
20
However, an Agnostic realizes that outside of his
circle, knowledge of God could exist.
21
So, an agnostic doesnt believe in God, yet
doesnt close the door to the possibility of God.
22
Imagine if I told you a person exists by the name
Hugh French. Would you react to that statement
as an atheist, agnostic or believer?
23
An atheist would say, I have no knowledge of
Hugh French. So he doesnt exist.
24
How many people here are willing to make that
statement?
25
An agnostic would say, I have no knowledge of
Hugh French
26
But, I dont deny his existence. He may or may
not exist since I dont know everything.
27
How many people here are willing to make that
statement?
28
Now, suppose I told you that Hugh French had in
his possession a cashiers cheque for
1,000,000.00 Available to anyone that finds him.
29
Would you try to find him? Would you ask of
others about him? Would you look for him?
30
Being an atheist in this scenario doesnt make a
lot of sense, does it? And its completely
unnecessary to be an agnostic.
31
God has a lot more than a million dollars for
those that find him. God offers life
32
An abundant life Eternal life Meaning in your
life A purpose to your life Eternal life
33
A life of Hope Faith Love
34
Would you try to find him? Would you ask of
others about him? Would you look for him?
35
God says, if you will look for Him you will find
Him, if you look for Him with all your heart and
soul. Deut 429
