1. Some speak against His existence
Ps.19:1, declare Ro.1:19, manifest
“You can’t miss it!” V. 20, not just existence, but power
and majesty

Epicurus (d. 270 B.C.)
If God wishes to prevent evil and cannot, He isn’t all powerful; if He can but won’t, He isn’t all good
Cancer? Wreck? Baby?

Questions appeal to universal system of justice; evil violates it
God is love, 1 Jn.4:8 He created us w. free will (Gn.2:16-17;
Josh.24:15) If all actions produce same effect, we
cannot learn to choose good from bad

2. Some speak against His creative power
Hb.3:4“No contractor in sight; did it create itself?”
“No Creator in sight; did it create itself?”
![Page 9: I. Evil Men Have Always Spoken Against The Lord. Infamous blasphemers Is.37:23-24, Assyria Ps.2:2-3, break…bonds Rv.16:9-11... 21.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe11a28abf838cb3b8f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Issue: which has better evidence? No scientist saw creation or general
evolution; it is not science, but faith Jn.1:1-3; Mk.10:6
At the beginning…
Jesuswas
there
Adam was
there
Eve was
there
![Page 10: I. Evil Men Have Always Spoken Against The Lord. Infamous blasphemers Is.37:23-24, Assyria Ps.2:2-3, break…bonds Rv.16:9-11... 21.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfe11a28abf838cb3b8f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Best scientific evidence requires a young earth
Sun shrinks 5 feet an hour If rate has remained constant…
100,000 yrs. ago it would be twice its present size (no life possible)
20 million BC, earth would touch sun! 500-2000 million yrs. ago, earth would
be inside the sun

Science Is A Sacred Cow– Anthony Standen
Of the “missing link”: “It is a most mis-leading phrase, because it suggests that only one link is missing. It would be more accurate to say that the greater part of the entire chain is missing, so much that it is not entirely certain whether there is a chain at all” (p. 106)

3. Some speak against God’s Son
“He was a good man, but no more” Mk.15:29 Ac.26:11; 1 T.1:13
Jn.5:17-23
He claimedto be the
Son of God
If He lied,then He isnot good

Religion is an “opium of the people” (Karl Marx)
