Kerley: Is God dead? Where we are

Body
Since we began our journey several months ago, it seems to me a good time to take stock of where we are. Fredrich Nietzsche, the nineteenth century German philosopher first coined the bold phrase; “God is Dead” back in 1883. In 1966, Time magazine, in startling fashion, asked the question directly: “Is God Dead?” After all, it’s an important question! And it is an important question because everyone who is alive, or who has ever lived has given an answer to the question in the way they chose to live their lives. Our Bible skeptic Michael, it seems, has made a decision as well. If you recall we began our conversation concerning the question; is God dead? with the Bible skeptic, Michael. Remember, Michael thinks the Bible is not the inspired work and Word of God, but rather a creation solely of man’s imagination. Michael said of the biblical writer’s inspiration that; inspiration comes in many forms like artist who write songs because of inspiration. I think the Bible could be written in the same way just like any book, song, or other art. But I think it is in some ways art because it is a creation of man but it is also handpicked in certain ways because it has gone through different interpretations. Consequently, Michael does not believe in Christianity, nor is he sure if God is dead or, if He ever existed in the first place. Michael says he does not know, but it turns out Michael, like everyone else in the world, has made a decision that reflects his indecisiveness, and that, we said, is Michael’s dilemma. And so began our journey: a journey to present acumulativecaseargumenttothe Michaels of the world. Not unlike a legal case presented in a court of law, each week we have been presenting and uncovering evidence that seems to indicate there is a Supreme Being who created all that exists. Our case started from the kalam cosmological Argumentfromwhichwedetermined there to be compelling evidence from cosmology and physics that there exits an uncaused, personal Creator of the universe, who in relation to the universe is beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, and enormously powerful.
