The Heart of the Atheist

“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” - Werner Heisenberg, Nobel Laureate and the proclaimed “Father of quantum mechanics”.

If one of the most brilliant minds of the 20th century has the ability to admit there is a God out there, why can’t the average atheist? It is not as though they have an issue with their intellect, rather, they have an issue with their heart.

Whether we bring forth evidence of the bodily resurrection via eyewitness testimony, or Jesus performs miracles in front of the masses, there always seems to be doubters, and those out there who will find any reason to deny not just Christ, but the idea of God in general. 

Romans 1:18-23

18 For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, 19 since what can be known[a] about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without excuse. 21 For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

If you want truth, you must seek it, not suppress it.
