A Debate with an Atheist
The following is a portion of a lengthy debate with a professing atheist in a popular social networking site. Although the arguments we have included here are philosophical and scientific in nature, let our readers know that we have not failed to witness to this atheist by presenting Biblical testimony prior to the arguments below. Apparently this atheist claims that we bored him to death with our Scriptural arguments and demands that we present sensible arguments for the existence of God. The truth is that this atheist proved himself ironic as he kept entertaining us in responding with his verbose, taunting and blasphemous counter-arguments as long as we sounded stupid to him with our Biblical arguments. And as soon as we begin to sound sensible by his own standards (that is, being supposedly philosophical and scientific) he never returned to respond. So what is he really bored of? our arguing biblically? or our arguing philosophically and scientifically? We do not claim that we are able to convert this atheist into a believer by arguing philosophically or scientifically. We have proven here why God-hating atheists cannot believe the Word of God. It is because they actually cannot believe what is philosophically, experientially and scientifically true. Of such our Lord Jesus Christ once said, "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?" (John 3:12) [A.M.A.]
A. AQUINO: How does atheism account for our existence. How did the universe come to be?
ATHEIST:
What the hell is this, an interview? Dr. Neil DeGrasse - A fascinatingly disturbing thought Dr. Neil DeGrasse - Segment of Cosmic Quandaries
A. AQUINO: "Unknown"--quite convenient. Philosophy and Science requires that the universe has a beginning. A beginning presupposes a prior non-existence.
ATHEIST:
//Philosophy and Science requires that the universe has a beginning.//
A. AQUINO:
That’s a fine high-sounding university lecture you have there. Yet in all
its verbosity and proud display of knowledge it fails to account for the
“beginning” based on philosophy and science.

CONCLUSION: Disappointing, but not surprising. Atheism is not an issue of the intellect but of morality and spirituality. Someone once said, "The atheist cannot adequately explain the world even to another atheist, but they certainly have no problem agreeing among themselves there is no God. Misery loves company." The Word of God consistently proves its self true as it accurately exposes the hideous substance under the supposedly rational veneer of atheism: "The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God. [Is it because they find no proof? Oh no, but because...] They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good" (Psalm 14:1).
