God's Not Dead, But With New Scientific Findings Atheism Sure Is

In part 1 of a two-part interview, Eric Metaxas responds to Nietzsche's famous declaration that God is dead with his own, equally provocative, claim that atheism is dying because it is impossible to square with the findings of modern science.

I keep hearing non-Christian people saying how they’ve seen the consequences of the loss of Christianity in our western society.

As a former atheist I'd like to tell you that no skeptic will ever be able to refute the existence of God for me. I've myself seen miracles and answered prayers

I have a PhD in Biophysics. I used to be an atheist. Once I applied the scientific method fairly and consistently, the theory of evolution completely collapses under its own weight. There is no way to directly observe evolution, no way to test it, and no way to reproduce the results (since it cannot be tested and there is only one example of evolved life here on Earth). There is more direct observational evidence of God than there ever has been for "evolution". It is horrible to know that what you have believed in your entire life was all lies; however, I am grateful that my entire journey brought me closer to God, the teachings of the Bible, and Jesus.

I don't know about atheism being dead, there are still alot of lost or dark souls out there. But I am assured God is not dead, and infact I believe (with the way things are heading in this world right now), ALL will see the Lord in His Glory very soon....Every knee will bend.

I have found that all God disputing/hating folks, have had father-parent trauma. Pray for parents to love their children

[godngunclinger]

"infinitely bleak and troubling" YES! and the instant GOD is fought against and removed from the picture human life is valueless

[brianhudson]

I have a great friend who is an observant, orthodox jew. He is THE most brilliant human I have ever known, and he is a particle physicist. He wears a yarmulke without fail. He once said that he couldn't have faith in science without faith in God. When he said that, it all came together for me.

As a student of psychology I get the impression that the most well-adjusted people are spiritually grounded. I'd like to see a study of atheists (or those who _claim_ to be atheists) and how well they stack up psychologically.

Especially science about space.

However too many young ones are way way too lost to believe...they cant teach the 10 commandments but sure as hell can teach hate sexual perversion as normal...

I remember, I was finally was very disappointed in Hichens at his shallowness and angry at myself for ever having had any esteem for him . I pondered and grew up and he stayed an angry child.

All the glory to the king, Jesus Christ. Never will turn back, on fire for you.

Atheism has been with us for most of history. But sense it has spread misery has also. Coincidence? Those who want to believe it is coincidence, will.
