TWELVE POINTS THAT SHOW CHRISTIANITY IS TRUE Quotes

“The arguments given against the possibility of miracles are circular; they beg the question by assuming (what is to be proven) that all events have natural causes. This is not only false but is also contrary to science, which has always allowed for intelligent causes (in archeology, forensic science, cryptology, the SETI program, and information theory). And”

“There are some things that only God can do. For example, only God can create life (Deut. 32:39; Job 1:21). The magicians of Egypt were able to copy some of Moses’ miracles by magic, but when he created life from dust, they cried out, “This is the finger of God!” (Exod. 8:19). Likewise, only God can raise the dead (John 11). Also, only God can produce a new thing instantaneously, such as an instant cure of a blind man (John 9), or turning water into wine (John 2). This is why so many of the miracles of Jesus and of His disciples are said to have been done “immediately” (Matt. 8:3; 20:34; Mark. 2:12; Acts 3:7).”

“The various arguments for God show that there is only one God, not many. This God must be infinite since He is beyond the finite world He made. Further, He must be personal because He is both intelligent and moral, being the Intelligent Designer and the Moral Law Giver. Further, this God is spiritual and supernatural since He is beyond the physical and natural world. He can do miracles because He has already done the greatest miracle of all—He has created the world.”

“There can only be one God according to these arguments for many reasons. First, the God of the Cosmological argument is infinite48since every finite thing needs a cause. And there cannot be two infinite Beings. For in order for there to be two beings of the same kind, they would have to differ. But two infinite Beings do not differ; they are the same kind of Being, namely, infinite. Second, the theistic God (of the Moral Argument) is absolutely perfect.”

“Saint Augustine: This former skeptic confessed: “Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee.”43 If all men need God, including atheists, then it is unreasonable to conclude there is no God anywhere simply because some people do not find Him.”

“Jean Paul Sartre: “I needed God . . . I reached out for religion, I longed for it, it was the remedy. Had it been denied me, I would have invented it myself.”

“Bertand Russell: “Even when one feels nearest to other people, something in one seems obstinately to belong to God . . . —at least that is how I should express it if I thought there was a God. It is odd, isn’t it? I care passionately for this world and many things and people in it, and yet . . . what is it all? There must be something more important one feels, though I don’t believe there is.”

“Francis Collins put it, “Why would such a universal and uniquely human hunger exists, if it were not connected to some opportunity for fulfillment?”

“Dr. Francis Collins, was impressed with the moral argument on his way back to God. He later wrote, “After twenty–eight years as a believer, the Moral Law still stands out for me as the strongest signpost to God. More than that, it points to a God who cares about human beings, and a God who is infinitely good and holy.”

“Former atheist Jay Budziszewski of the University of Texas came to God the same way. He reasoned, “What actually led me back was a growing intuition that my condition was objectively evil…. Evil is deficiency in good; there is no such thing as an evil ‘substance,’ an evil–in–itself. So if my condition really was evil, there had to be some good of which my condition was the ruination.” In short, we cannot know evil except on the backdrop of good. If evil is real, then there must be an objective standard by which we know that.”

“Flew, concluded: “Those scientists who point to the Mind of God do not merely advance a series of arguments or a process of syllogistic reasoning. Rather, they propound a vision of reality that emerges from the conceptual heart of modern science and imposes itself on the rational mind. It is a vision that I personally find compelling and irrefutable.”

“Even the atheistic, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins admitted that life appears to have been designed and that an origin one–celled animal has a thousand sets of Encyclopedias full of genetic information in it!”

“Even atheist Nobel Laureate, Francis Crick, admitted, “An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have to have been satisfied to get it going.”

“microbiologist Michael Behe started a design revolution. After narrating the incredible evidence for the incredible complexity of a living cell, Behe concluded, “The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself—not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs. Inferring that biochemical systems were designed by an intelligent agent is a humdrum process that requires no new principles of logic or science.” So, “life on earth at its most fundamental level, in its most critical components, is the product of intelligent activity.”

“former atheist and astronomer Alan Sandage, said, “As I said before, the world is too complicated in all of its parts to be due to chance alone. I am convinced that the existence of life with all its order in each of its organisms is simply too well put together. . . . The more one learns of biochemistry the more unbelievable it becomes unless there is some kind of organizing principle—an architect for believers.”
