Bending over backwards for creationists

When Professor Richard Dawkins revealed that he believed that it is possible that we were created by aliens, he embarrassed atheists across the world. The king fell off his golden throne. Big time. This is what he said:

"It could come about in the following way: it could be that, at some earlier time somewhere in the universe a civilization evolved by probably by some kind of Darwinian means to a very very high level of technology and designed a form of life that they seeded onto perhaps this pl

George and Jesus

"Ray said 'The truth is that no one knows the identity of the first President.' There's an idea for a billboard: 'Ray Comfort: Faith in Jesus; Skeptical of George Washington.'" Chris B.

This reveals the misunderstanding that atheists have about the word "faith" (as in an intellectual belief), and the word "trust" (as in a reliance on a person).

My faith in Jesus has nothing to do with an intellectual belief, because it’s not in His historical existence. It’s rather a trust that I have in Him fo

Who was the first President?

An Atheist named Clamflats wrote:

"You state that the Bible is 'the only TRUE word of God.' You state this as if it is a fact. I contend that this is a statement of faith which you believe but cannot be a fact in the same sense that 'George Washington was the first President of the United States’ is a fact."

When I asked "Can you please offer evidence that George Washington was the first President of the United States?" she answered:

"I didn't give much thought to my fact example except to quickly

Science, DNA, Adam and Eve

This must make evolution believers (who think) a little nervous. The New York Times reports:

"In new genetic studies of modern human origins, scientists think they have found strong evidence that there was an ancestral 'Adam' about 188,000 years ago to go with the previously discovered 'Eve.'

"The scientists used certain male-specific segments of the Y chromosome, the chromosome passed from father to son, to trace the common ancestor of every man now on earth to that period. They are reporting th

Justin Long

Over the years a number of people who have watch our "Open Air Preaching" video have told me that the young man who heckled me back in 2002, was Justin Long. Back then Justin was already a budding actor.

In 2009 he starred in the hit movie "Drag Me to Hell."

Here’s the gripping 2.23 second trailer that you may have already seen on TV.

As you watch this, say to yourself "It’s all just a Hollywood joke. It’s only entertainment." Tell yourself "There’s no devil, there’s no Hell, and no such thing a

The Evolution Illusion

I wouldn’t consider myself any sort of magician, but I can do some sleight-of-hand. I have seen hundreds of people open their mouths wide in unbelief at what their eyes have just seen. It is true that the eye is easily fooled.

Back in November of 2008 I took a small camera crew to visit the "Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle Grand Galerie de L'Evolution" in Paris, France. I had a sense of excitement because we were going to be able to film actual "evidence" of evolution.

The museum was magnif

Ever stood infront of a big fan?

"Imagine a scenario where you are suddenly presented with absolute proof that God exists. Not proof that you can reproduce in a lab or record in a scientific journal, but experiential proof that is clear and undeniable...but only to you. I can’t tell you what that proof looks like, because it’s different for just about everybody. I can tell you what it looked like for me, and I’ll do so shortly.

"The mind of the Natural man (atheist) will buck against imagining such a thing, and resist even cons

Atheists confuse God with the Bible

When I said to a believer in the theory of evolution, "Your trust is in fallible man. My trust is in infallible God," other atheistic believers in evolution replied:

"You trust the Bible, which was written, edited, compiled, interpreted, and preached by fallible man. That is all."

"No. Your trust is also in something you believe happened long ago that was written by fallible men: The Bible. Then you throw in the subjective feelings that you interpret as a personal relationship with an infallible

Childish notion

The winner of a sandcastle competition was praised for his excellence this week. As the state representative for tourism honored the winner for what the crowd acknowledged were amazing and creative skills, a spokesperson from a group who had named themselves "The Committee for Intelligent Sciences" interrupted the proceedings. He said that the winner was a fraud, and that the sandcastle created itself.

When the crowd roared with laughter, he said that it was his theory and he was there to persua

An oxymoron

"Dear Ray, Why is it so difficult for you to accept the fact of evolution when it has been universally accepted by the scientific community, and 99.99% of people who dedicate their lives to studying it? Why do you refuse to acknowledge that there are many very very serious bible believing Christians who claim to know God but also accept the fact of evolution? Why is it so difficult for you to think that if your God existed, he might be working through science instead of directly violating it? It
