Why I believe in God Quotes

“Every fact in this world, the God of the Bible claims, has His stamp indelibly engraved upon it.”
― Van Til, Cornelius, Loud and Clear

“You realize that if you are to change your belief about God, you will also have to change your belief about yourself.”
― Van Til, Cornelius, Loud and Clear

“If the God of Christianity exists, the evidence for His existence is abundant and plain so that it is both unscientific and sinful not to believe in Him.”
― Van Til, Cornelius, Loud and Clear

“For what you have really done in your handling of the evidence for belief in God, is to set yourself up as God. You have made the reach of your intellect, the standard of what is possible or not possible. You have thereby virtually determined that you intend never to meet a fact that points to God. Facts, to be facts at all–facts, that is, with decent scientific and philosophic standing–must have your stamp instead of that of God upon them as their virtual creator.”
― Van Til, Cornelius, Loud and Clear

“if it does not appear reasonable to you, it is reasonable for you, to believe in God.”
― Van Til, Cornelius, Loud and Clear

“The Calvinist, therefore, using his point of contact, observes to the non-Christian that if the world were not what Scripture says it is, if the natural man’s knowledge were not actually rooted in the creation and providence of God, then there could be no knowledge whatsoever.”
― Cornelius Van Til, Why I believe in God

“In our great concern to win men we have allowed that the evidence for God's existence is only probably compelling. And from that fatal confession we have gone one step further down to the point where we have admitted or virtually admitted that it is not really compelling at all. And so we fall back on testimony instead of argument. After all, we say, God is not found at the end of an argument; He is found in our hearts. So we simply testify to men that once we were dead, and now we are alive, and that one we were blind and that now we see, and give up all intellectual argument. Do you suppose that our God approves of this attitude of His followers? I do not think so. [...] A testimony that is not an argument is not a testimony either, just as an argument that is not a testimony is not even an argument.”
