The God Card

I've been raised in a Christian home for my entire life. Obviously, I have some presuppositions about life as a result. So prepare for bias.

Many, many debates have been waged over the belief that there is a God. Some despise the idea. Others embrace it. One concept or play I seem to see a lot with inexperienced Christian debaters is what I like to term 'the God Card'. The God Card is what happens when a person who believes in God is asked a question they don't know the answer to, so they say 'Well, only God knows', or 'God did' or 'God, in His infinite wisdom, knows better than us'.

This argument tends to turn staunch atheists and evolutionists mad. It makes them think that Christians are so close-minded and idiotic to merely attribute everything to one supernatural being. "Ridiculous! Unscientific!" They shout.

The thing is, atheist, that when you say that it shows that you don't have a big enough idea of our view of God. Listen for a moment, if you will. True Christians believe in a God that made the entire creation with his mere words. If you look closely at the intricate systematic complexion of this universe, you can't help but be amazed with how smoothly the gears of the world turn.

You yell "Unscientific" at us, but where does that come from? The thing is, it makes perfect sense that a being who has always existed, will always exist, is all-powerful all-knowing and all-present could create the masterpiece that is the universe. Even some evolutionists believe that something had to start life on earth, hence the 'alien' theory.
I would argue that the reason people get mad at the 'God Card' is because it totally works. It doesn't take a genius to know that there are things in this world beyond human comprehension. It also doesn't take a genius to see that the amazing complexity and detail of this universe could only reasonably be attributed to intelligent design. You don't see a computer and think it came together randomly: by the same logic, the creation is much, much more complicated than a mere computer. There is no way we could have 'happened' by random events.

Richard Dawkins, that famous atheist and fervent anti-theist was once asked this question: "What would you do if there was a God and you had to stand before Him one day, and He asked you 'What have you been doing, Richard? Why have you been so avidly opposed to Me?'" Dawkins smiled and answered "I would say 'Well, Sir, why did you not make yourself more apparent?'"
I am an avid believer of an almighty God. As thus, I can't help but wince at the wrath that is in store for Mr. Dawkins and all who reject the idea. God has given multiple evidences of His existence...in creation, in our sense of morality, in His word the Bible.

Guess you'd better make a choice. Will you take the risk of rejecting God, or not?
