A Good Thought for Both Atheists and Christians

Hello, to start off, I would like everyone to know I am a full-pledged Christian and a die hard follower of Christ.  On the other hand, I am also a thinker, logic-based, not-blind-faith guy.  Like the atheist, I must depend on facts to support my belief,or faith.  But I cannot say that strictly on the definitions of faith and science.  Science, or at least PURE science are conclusions based on observable facts.  Apart from that we can theorize, conjecture, hypothesize, etc.  Any statement outside of the OBSERVABLE realm is a stement of belief, of faith and i should say a "religious" statement.  Say, I declare that there is a God is not a scientific statement, for He cannot be observed, though there are evidences of His existence.  On the strict definitions, God is, yes, just a theory, based on evidence and documentaries (authentic or not).  The same way I look at science's theories like electrons, which is the theory of electromagnetivity, and of course, evolution, the theory that we and all living creatures have a common, primitive origin.  These are theories with bases, BUT, are statements outside the TRUE science of observable data. They are purely hypothesis based on what was experimented, and observed with evidence available today.  That is why it is a theory.  So, is it right to call God a Theory?  Based on these definitions, Im afraid so.  So I personally have stepped outside of these definitions and have declared BY FAITH, (statement based on faith) that there is a God.  I have concluded based on what I have heard from the Bible (which is a historically authentic document), based on the logic of the five basic laws of science, that there has to be a Creator, an Intelligent Designer above us who started it all, who has the ability to create from nothing, but He Himself cannot be created for He is outside of our saptial and temporal dimension.  Yes, I declare this statement of faith, there is a GOD.

Now, I accept that the atheists or the evolutionists have the same stand.  They choose to believe on whatever they believe based on what they have observed.  Based on their evidence, which they believe to be authentic, and they believe to be true.  My observation is this: alot of those are statements of faith also, and they formulate all sorts of theories to support their hypothesis, gathering evidence along the way to somehow cement their findings.  Which is true for some Theists too, who formulate a doctrine and find Biblical support taken out of context.  Both are true in both camps.

Now, with regards to the authenticity and popularity as a basis for what is right and accepted, I find a most interesting observation:  Science has more followers who actually NOT believe oin a created world, a created biology, and all simply because they choose to NOT accept the story of the Bible, who accounts the universe as a creation of God, full, complete and perfectly functional. To repeat my stement above, they cook up all sorts of experiments and archeological digs to explain their theories.  However, I am pleased to know that THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER TO PROVE THE BIBLE WRONG, only to evidence to support their beliefs, but not to DISPROVE the Scripture.  Never has any evidence been found, and fortunately, new found scientific discoveries actually support myteries which are IN LINE with Biblical accounts.  AMAZING!  Science actually complements and reinforces the Bible!  Going back to who believes more, I have noticed that more students believe the "scientists" more simply because more of them support the theory that there wasnt any Creators and that there is no god.  More scientists join the band wagon because more of them choose not to be accountable to God.  They choose to believe in the philosophies, theories, and beliefs of the scientific world.  Therefore, according to them, God is not real because MORE, "scientists" believe so. "They are the experts, they  know more than I do, therefore, I believe them!"

However, it is true also for the Theists who want to play the popularity game.  About 3/4ths of the entire population of the world (and a vastly bigger percentage based on all people who lived since the start of civilization) believe in a Higher Being/s.  Now, more than half of the worlds population believes in ONE GOD.  Only a small percentage believe in YAHWEH, the God of the Bible, but still, according to the popularity game, a vast majority believes in God.  In respect to this, can we assume that the atheists and the scientific community(selective) are wrong?

Another issue arises as we observe within both camps, much are really undecided!  Maybe 90-95% of the members of each camp (Theists and atheist) believe not because they want to but because they're playing safe, or simply believing blindly because they were born that way,  to their community's or soceity's belief systems.  Not because of personal quest to know, to find out, to investigate.  To illustrate, many atheists become atheists simply because they had a disappointing encounter with "god".  Their prayers werent heard, or a tragic event happened, and the God they used to believe in was silent.  Most Theists on the other hand believe in their God, but really never want to follow what He teaches.  They use Him as a crutch, an easy explanation, sometimes an escape from reality, taking their belief completely out of context.  Which for me, is really not a theist, but an agnostic.  People who dont care whether there is a god, or believes only when it is convenient.  There are many Biblical teachings that contradict their lifestyle or philosophies but they say that it is old fashioned and socially out of date.  Therefore they adopt other teachings, knitting a quilt of beliefs to fit their wants, not really submitting to a particular faith.  The Convenient Religion.  Most theists are members if this one.  Accepting everything "science" teaches them, and all sorts of convenient philosophies and practices, because they fear they will be labeled as a Christian Freak, or a Scientific Atheist.  So they balance between the two, to play safe.

Here is the conclusion of the matter: according to Joshua, ..."Choose you this day, whom shall ye serve? (yourself, your convenient religion, the atheists-humanists, scientific theories, or God, the Everlastic Father of the Bible) As for me and my house, we shall serve the LORD."  That is what I've done, and I hope you choose your side wisely.  Make that statement of faith. Choose which side of the fence are you on... and stay on it until proven wrong.

Going to the next

I hope you guys are following my thought.
