I Know Someone Who Has Doubts About God
Series: I Know Someone Who…
Speaker: Brian T. Anderson
- Introduction
- “To suppose that the human eye, with so many parts all working together, could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd to the highest degree.” (Charles Darwin in “Origin of Species”)
- Arguments for the existence of God
- Teleological argument - - “Who or what is responsible for the intricacies, symmetry, wonders, and marvels of what we see all around us in the natural realm?”
- The moral “ oughtness ” argument
- “The universality of that moral sense of ‘oughtness’ that is stamped on every human heart, just the mere presence of that moral code should move every hardened skeptic to a point of intellectual openness about the existence of a supreme moral being. There is simply no other reasonable explanation.” (C. S. Lewis in “Mere Christianity)
- The transformed life argument
- Rom. 3:23 (NAS) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
- Rom. 6:23 (NAS) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Eph. 2:8-9 (NAS) 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
- Rom. 10:13 (NAS) For “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- Conclusion
