His Plague Is In His Head

For anyone who claims they know there is no God (Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion", and so many other deluded people):

In order for you to know absolutely that there is no God, you would have to have absolute knowledge. You would have to be omniscient which is one of God's attributes. So if you claim to know there is no God, you are claiming to be God yourself. We Christians find it much easier and much more logical to believe in the God of the Bible, the real omniscient Creator of the universe than to believe that you are God.

By the way, if any evolutionist really wanted the truth, he would look at the evolution and creation models side by side, looking at the evidence for each and which one best fits the known facts of science. The book I am currently reading (Scientific Creationism) does this very thing even without Biblical reference until the last chapter of the book. Now, I remember why I thought so highly of this book when I read it the first time.

I quote from page 28:

"Note the wistful suggestion of Isaac Asimov:

"Where did the substance of the universe come from?
..... If 0= +1 + -1, then something which is 0 might just as well become 1 and -1. Perhaps in an infinite sea of nothingness, globs of positive and negative energy in equal sized pairs are constantly forming, and after passing through evolutionary changes, combining once more and vanishing. We are in one of these globs in the period of time between nothing and nothing, and wondering about it."

The source for the Asimov quote is "What Is Beyond The Universe?" Science Digest, Vol. 69 (April 1971), p. 69.

My response to Isaac Asimov, after calming from my infinite burst of laughter, is that there is nothing in poor Isaac's head, or perhaps there is "an infinite sea of nothingness". Thank you Mr. Laughter. Maybe I should read more of Asimov's material for the comedy. You do know that the name 'Isaac' means 'laughter', don't you?

Anyway, Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) had a "plague in his head" and in his heart like leprosy (Leviticus 13:44). I'm sure his views on life and death changed in 1992 when he went to hell. Poor Isaac's soul is now in torment in hell. He is being tormented in the flame of hell and desires to be comforted. And in addition to that he wishes to have someone sent to his family with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and testify unto them, lest they also go to the same place.

Luke 16:19-31 - There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Dawkins says, time and time again, he does not find rational evidence in support of a god, therefore he has no reason to follow it. He never claims to KNOW anything. Your argument is flawed.

That's good since he really doesn't know anything.

About Me

I was "born of the flesh" on November 24, 1960 and I was "born of the Spirit" (John 3:5-6) in May, 1981. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) I am a 55 year old student and teacher of the word of God, the Holy Bible. I am a student of the English Language and its history including Anglo-Saxon and Middle English. I am also currently studying American History. I am an avid reader with a personal library of around 2000 volumes. I am a literary critic including Biblical works and Biblical doctrine. I am a master of Biblical studies, having read completely through the King James Bible approximately 30 times, and studied the Bible for most of 27 years. I have written and personally published and printed (by Word of Truth Publications) about 20 Biblical tracts. I continue my studies for continued personal growth and for preparation for further publication of new materials.
