As has been said, Christianity (and believe in God) is not something that can be proved. It is a matter of faith. What has also been brought up is that it takes even more faith to believe that we came to be on this Earth by a series of coincidences, and that life on Earth began with a lightning bolt hitting the “primordial soup of life.” This is simply not any more plausible than the existence of God, even less so. I’m sure there’s a good chance there are historical inaccuracies in the Bible. Even the four Gospels contradict themselves in the details. To draw the conclusion that this means there is no God is ludicrous. And I do believe that Genesis is more symbolic in the 6 day creation than factual.
For me, being a Christian is pretty much summed up by the fact that life has a purpose, it has a meaning. I know God, he guides me. A series of personal situations I went through only strengthened my faith. On the occasions I had the humility to realize that I need God’s help, it was amazing to me how quickly things unraveled themselves. The difference between asking for help and not asking for help was actually really hilarious. This is not something that can be proved, and people may laugh, but it can only be know from personal experience.
Another thing to keep in mind:
1. What do the Christians lose if God doesn’t exist? Nothing.
2. What do the atheists lose if God does exist?
Everything.
But the atheists are the brilliant, enlightened ones…
