THE POSSIBILITY OF REVELATION:
The Atheist
claims too much when he dogmatically states that there is no God, for the fact
that he cannot find rational evidence for the existence of God neither proves
that He does or does not exist. The Agnostic claims too much when he declares
that we cannot know anything for certain, for how can he know this if he can
know nothing for certain? As we shall see there are many evidences for the existence
of God. These evidences may not compel a person to believe in the existence of
God, but they surely demonstrate the possibility and the probability of His
existence. When the scientist is confronted with many evidences for the existence
of an object or a principle, he accepts the evidence and works with it until he
has proof that the evidence is not valid. A college text on science states: “Science
is not the field of certainties that so many people seem to think. It is a field
of probabilities, of suspended judgments, and it requires a willingness to let the
evidence decide the case.”2
