True Ignorance
Ray Comfort is at it again. After a short period of trying to act serious and humble, he’s right back to insulting the intellects of atheists everywhere, while still claiming that he has good reason to believe what he believes.
Let’s dissect his statement:
I also love science.
No, he doesn’t. He probably doesn’t even know what the word means.
In case you didn’t know, “science” is God allowing man to discover the secret workings of His incredible creation.
As usual, simply assuming that the world is created is more than enough evidence to prove that it is. Ray Comfort loves science, but doesn’t understand the first thing about it.
Einstein (a theist who didn’t believe in a personal God) rightly said, “Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.”
Ah, here we go with Einstein again. You would think a Christian would show some respect for the dead, but not our dear Ray. Einstein was not a theist, at the very most he was a deist, but even that is up for discussion since he hints at having a definition of a god that isn’t really a god at all. It’s more of a term simply to describe the wonders of the world itself, and not an intelligent force, whether personal or not. I’ve quoted him before, but I’ll do it again:
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.
Back to Ray.
But [atheist scientists] also intellectually disqualify themselves from speaking on behalf of science, because their basic worldview of “nothing created everything” is a scientific impossibility.
He holds on to his most beloved strawman as it he’d die without it. Metaphorically speaking, he probably would. Without his delusion that atheism somehow implies any stance on creation whatsoever, he would wither up and crumble. It’s his only weapon, and all it does is irritate and annoy. Regardless, if he maintains that it’s true that atheists believe “nothing created everything“, then it’s equally true that all Christians firmly believe that “nothing created God“. However, as soon as you mention that, Ray and his followers will start screaming that “God has always existed, he’s outside time” as if that answers all the questions. But, if believing that our universe didn’t have a creator is “intellectually dishonest”, why is it reasonable to believe that God didn’t have a creator as well? I’ve never understood this, nor have I ever gotten an honest answer out of any Christians whom I’ve asked.
Einstein said, “I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details.” If you also want to know God’s thoughts, read your Bible.
This, of course, right after Ray himself said that the god of Einstein wasn’t the personal, theistic God of Abrahamic religion. Ray doesn’t care if his logic is flawed. In fact, he flaunts his errors in order to troll for more insulted atheists to hang around his honey pot blog.
You love creation. I love the Creator and will escape His terrible swift sword, because I trust in His mercy.
I have no feelings whatsoever towards the creation of the universe. Why would I? It’s an impersonal event billions of years in the past. How do you have feelings towards a giant cosmic expansion-event?
It’s my earnest prayer that you would also trust Jesus for your own eternal salvation today. He doesn’t promise you tomorrow.
He doesn’t promise anything, because he isn’t real.
