Ted Dekker Quotes

I can understand how evolution says, "don't believe in God", but I've never had this problem. I've always loved His creation. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean any_thing to some people, and I just don't get that! After all, if you just read the Bible plainly, it tells you everything. From Creation, to the Flood, to Jesus. I can't see how you can come to the conclusion, there is no God.

I cannot believe in God when there is no scientific evidence for the existence of a supreme being and creator.

For just as the first general precepts of the law of nature are self-evident to one in possession of natural reason, and have no need of promulgation, so also that of believing in God is primary and self-evident to one who has faith: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is.

Atheists who keep asking for evidence of God's existence are like a fish in the ocean wanting evidence of water.

When people say do you believe in God? what do they mean by it? Do I believe in some spiritual force in the world? In a way, yes. People have thoughts, emotions. If you want to call that a spiritual force, okay. But unless there's some clarification of what we're supposed to believe in or disbelieve in, I can't answer.

If there's a God, I want to see Him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof.

I am not a creationist as the term is usually understood. I believe that the earth is billions of years old and the universe even older. I do believe that God is the creator, but that's a completely different thing. I've written in defense of evolution and made arguments that are based on evolution.

I can't prove that God doesn't exist, but I'd much rather live in a universe without one.

Rationally, I was convinced that the universe without God made no sense, but that simply was not the same as believing. But I also knew that I could not argue myself, or be argued, into faith.

The burden of proof is on those who don't believe that "Genesis" was right, and there was a creation, and that Creator is still involved.

I deny the very existence of that Almighty Supreme Being.

I always had a background belief in God. In other words, instinctually I've never doubted that we are not alone.

I think there will always be a possibility that God doesn't exist because He is infinitude and into that infinitude must come that possibility.

If there is a god, the only genuine friend he has is an atheist. He does not blame him for anything.

Christianity believes that God has created an external world that is really there; and because He is a reasonable God, one can expect to be able to find the order of the universe by reason.

I think spirituality, even if there's no God, even if there's nothing - I consider myself relatively spiritual. I believe in a God. I don't know what it's like, but I do believe in it. It's the only thing that makes any sense. Maybe I'm just looking for order in the chaos. Though, I do believe in Evolution and I do believe in science.

For my part I cannot believe in a God who is angry with me because I do not believe in him. I cannot believe in a God who is less tolerant than I. I cannot believe in a God who has neither humour nor common sense.

But what, after all, is faith? It is a state of mind that leads people to believe something - it doesn't matter what - in the total absence of supporting evidence. If there were good supporting evidence then faith would be superfluous, for the evidence would compel us to believe it anyway. It is this that makes the often-parroted claim that 'evolution itself is a matter of faith' so silly. People believe in evolution not because they arbitrarily want to believe it but because of overwhelming, publicly available evidence.

You can believe in God without believing in immortality, but it is hard to see how anyone can believe in immortality and not believe in God.

I strongly believe in the existence of God, based on intuition, observations, logic, and also scientific knowledge.

Seems as unfounded ... to say there isn't a God as to say there is.

There must be a God because he made me.

There is no direct evidence, so how could you ask me to believe in God.

I shall not convert you at the end of my argument. I think the argument is sound. I hold that belief in God is not merely as reasonable as other belief, or even a little or infinitely more probably true than other belief; I hold rather that unless you believe in God you can logically believe in nothing else.

Unless I believe in God, I cannot believe in thought: so I can never use thought to disbelieve in God.
