Evidence

(by Lorie Codispoti)

Speaking of how much evidence we have - from science, history, & human testimony - I heard one professor say that, compared to other world views, Christianity has an “almost embarrassment of riches."

His phrase struck me & I’ve been pondering the implications.

When you look at the cosmological argument, the design argument, & the moral argument (three popular topics of question), the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of a God who caused things for a purpose. Even if all you had was general revelation (i.e., nature, human conscience) it would be enough to support the existence of God.

The God of the Bible not only created everything, but He left enough evidence of Himself in that creation for every human being (using the intellect He gave them) to put the pieces together & conclude that He is. To say otherwise is to deny the evidence & reject the reality that truth provides.

The Christian faith is not blind, as some would argue. The veil of unbelief rests over the eyes of those who blind themselves to the reality of God. We are “without excuse” as Scripture says.

I like how Sean McDowell defines Christian faith. He said, “Faith is trusting what we have reason to believe is true.”

Due to the vast amount of evidence (“embarrassment of riches”) that supports the Christian world view, it is, therefore, unreasonable to conclude that any other view (faith) is plausible.
