The Blade as well as the BG News posted the same letter today from Rev. John Randall
Sugar Ridge Community Church Bowling Green. The BG News title was, "Asking for proof of God is arrogant, foolish" while The Blade's headline was, "God doesn't always appear in petri dishes."
Pastor Randall opens with this statement:
"Theology is a meta-science that transcends the boundaries of the petri dish we presume to call "real" life. Atheists who demand proof for the existence of God are like blind men who deny the existence of light just because they cannot see it themselves. There is no way to satisfy their insistent and arrogant denial of what is abundantly self-evident to those with normal sight.
The existence of God is so obvious to us that having to "prove" His existence to those with their eyes wide shut is as embarrassing as telling someone there is spinach stuck to their teeth. How could they not see it? Do they also deny the existence of mirrors?"
I posted the following comment in the BG News:
I read Pastor Randall's cross-posted article in The Blade as well as this newspaper; apparently he got the best coverage he could hope for. I had to laugh, though. I was reminded of a magic show I heard about. Seems the magician performed several 'tricks' without moving his hands or any part of his body. The audience stared, but did not react. "When's he going to start?" asked a little boy to his mother. "What!" said the magician, "didn't you see those great feats I just performed?"
The magician said, "How could they not see it? Do they also deny the existence of mirrors?" The magician packed up his table, hat, and wand and walked off stage grumbling, "There is no way to satisfy their insistent and arrogant denial of what is abundantly self-evident to those with normal sight."
Yes, pastor, we see the "magic" all around us.
