If there is no God, then all that exists is time and chance acting on matter. If this is true then the difference between your thoughts and mine correspond to the difference between shaking up a bottle of Mountain Dew and a bottle of Dr. Pepper. You simply fizz atheistically and I fizz theistically. This means that you do not hold to atheism because it is true , but rather because of a series of chemical reactions… … Morality, tragedy, and sorrow are equally evanescent. They are all empty sensations created by the chemical reactions of the brain, in turn created by too much pizza the night before. If there is no God, then all abstractions are chemical epiphenomena, like swamp gas over fetid water. This means that we have no reason for assigning truth and falsity to the chemical fizz we call reasoning or right and wrong to the irrational reaction we call morality. If no God, mankind is a set of bi-pedal carbon units of mostly water. And nothing else.
Thats a very good point. The same can be said of relativists who say there is no right or wrong, because if a person has no bread it is perfectly ok to steal some,etc. etc. That is, until His car is stolen, or his daughter murdered. Praise be to God that He installed moral Absolutes, for without them we can only ever be base animals, doing what we wish to serve our interests. Oh wait, outside of Jesus that's Exactly what we are and do! And to any atheist or evolutionist out there I would plead simple scientific fact- order Cannot be produced from random Chaos. If 10,000 monkeys typed on 10,000 typewriters for 10,000 years, they would Not produce the works of Shakespear. They would produce a great many pages of poo smeared jibberish nothing. There is but ONE who gives order without and within, the Lord Jesus Christ. May we seek Him every moment! tj
