I happened to watch a replay of a debate in which Kirk Cameron (yes, the kid from Growing Pains) and a colleague took on a couple of atheists. The goal was to prove or to disprove the existence of God.
The extraordinary (to me) rule was that Kirk and his friend were NOT to use the Bible in their presentation.
Of course, within the first 5 minutes that rule was broken. I mean, how could you not use the Bible in an argument intended to prove its Author's existence?
The most impressive point came when Kirk Cameron passionately and clearly testified to a time when he asked God to prove Himself--and God came into his life and changed it. Period.
That point was immediately refuted by the opposition, who said, "You can't prove any point just from personal experience. You could say you've got a magic dragon in your back yard whom you converse with daily, and no one could argue your experience. But show us God. Show us His earth-making factory." And so forth....
The Christians' basic point was that God has proven Himself through His creation. Yes, we who believe the Bible--and believe that it is God's inerrant Word--believe that argument through and through.
Didn't impress the atheists.
Now, I ask you:
If you were asked to prove the existence of God, just what would you say?
I'd love to hear how you'd do with this question.
Any takers??
Blessings~
