April Fool’s Day: The Atheist Holiday

To the Editor:
One atheist complained to a pastor that Christians have two holidays — Christmas and Easter — but atheists have none. The pastor said you have April Fool’s Day. The Bible in Psalms 14:1 says “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.” This was proven true as atheist leaders in China, Russia, North Korea and other Communist atheist countries have killed over 110 million people in the past century and continue to persecute Christians today.
Professor Peter Kreeft said belief in God is more logical and rational than belief in nothing. Logic, reason and science support God. Atheism is steeped in blind faith. Nothing can create itself. Everything has a cause — including the earth and universe. Philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas said things move and nothing moves for no reason. Something must cause that movement. There must be a mover to begin the motion in the universe since matter never moves itself. God is the cause and mover!
Eric Metaxas said because of advances in science and our knowledge of the universe increased we now know there are over 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life and every one of them must be met perfectly or there is no life. For example, without a massive gravity strong planet like Jupiter near to draw away asteroids, Earth would be destroyed. Metaxas said the odds against life in the universe are astonishing. Metaxas asked, “can every one of those 200 plus parameters have been perfectly met by accident?” One of the world’s most renowned theoretical physicists, Paul Davies, said, “the appearance of design is overwhelming.” Oxford University professor of Mathematics Dr. John Lennox said, “the more we get to know about our universe, the more the hypothesis that there is a Creator… gains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here.” The DNA of every human has 3 billion parts and like vision is so complex it had to be designed. God is the designer and creator!
Frank Pastore said there had to be four big bangs to create everything the way it is now. There was a cosmological big bang, biological big bang, anthropological big bang and psychological big bang. Pastore said, “you have a choice. It’s either faith in these four big bangs of somethings from nothings to account for what we see all around us, or faith in some kind of creator God behind it all.” The principal of causality is nothing begins without an adequate cause. The logical conclusion is since there was a Big Bang there must be a Big Banger. God is the Big Banger!
One atheist said to a Christian pastor, “I don’t believe in a God I have never seen.” The pastor said, “have you seen your brains?” Ray Comfort said, “you can lead an atheist to evidence but you can’t make him think.” Studies show most atheist people like most people locked up in prison had no father or an evil father. Some atheists say if there was a good God bad things wouldn’t happen to good people. The Bible tells us there are no good people. The only time bad things happened to a good person was Jesus who volunteered and suffered and paid for our sins on Good Friday!” Seek the Lord (Jesus) while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Don’t be a fool!
