The Atheist

I wrote the following letter as a response to some nonsense some individual wrote in defense of his atheism.  He responded by telling me I was "off my rocker."  It certainly is not a very good defense of one's creed.

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God." (Ps. 14: 1) I didn't say it, God did. "There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Prov. 14: 12) Do you want to read about a great scientist? Read about the life of George Washington Carver.  He gave God the glory for all of his success.  That man was born a slave.  Also, in his later years: Sir Isaac Newton devoted his life to the study of the Bible. Newton believed that the Bible was the inspired Word of God. Belief in God is a choice. Proof that He exists is all around us. "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handywork." (Ps. 19:1) History shows us, unfortunately so, that religion, at times, has been a detriment to the dissemination of the truth. Gifted, educated and scholarly men and women would do well to thank God for what they have, and what they have accomplished. Why? Because they would have accomplished nothing without Him.  Albert Einstein also knew it, and he was not ashamed to say so.  There is very, very much to say about this subject and about all of the great accomplishments made by men and women who gave God the glory for their discoveries, inventions, innovations and accomplishments in all fields of legitimate endeavor.  "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God."
