Have you heard this saying? "I don't believe in God. There is absolutely no proof for the existence of God." I get that all of the time when I go out witnessing. There are many people that says they do not believe in God and they believe that the Christian has no physical evidence to prove that He exist.
However, the Bible makes it clear that everyone has the knowledge of God. Romans 1:20 says "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." The Atheists know that there is a God because they could see the creation. The whole creation testifies that there is a God (Psalms 19:1 - 3). However, they suppress the truth because they love to sin (Romans 1:18).
Think about it. If there is no God, then they could live their lives on how they want to live. But if there is a God, they must answer to the things they had done. Someone once said, "An Atheist cannot find God for the same way that a thief cannot find a policeman." It is not about science. Every bit of science points to the existence of God. But it is because they do not want to be told on how they are supposed to live.
When I met with someone that claims there is no God and for me to prove it, often I would point to the builder/painter reference. How do you know that there was a builder of a building? You can not see, taste, smell, feel, or hear the builder. How do you know he exists? Well... The building is all of the proof that I need for the builder to exist. I do not need any more evidence than that. All I need is eyes that can see and a brain that works.
The same way for paintings and painters. How do I know there was a painter? You can not see, taste, smell, feel, or hear the painter. How do you know he exists? Well... The painting is all of the proof that I need for the painter to exist. I do not need any more evidence than that. All I need is eyes that can see and a brain that works.
The same logic goes into the existence of God. How do you know he exists? Well... The creation is all of the proof that I need for the creator to exist. I do not need any more evidence than that. All I need is eyes that can see and a brain that works.
And that is what it says on the opening verse. Romans 1:20 says "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." On Judgment Day, when the Atheist dies and stand before God, they cannot say that God did not show Him that He is real. They will not have an excuse.
But I believe that it is not our job to go to everyone and show that He is real. They know that. It is our job to go and show them that they transgress against His Law, that they are worthy of Hell, and that Jesus Christ paid their fine so that they do not have to go to Hell. Romans 3:19 - 20 says "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
