We often get hot and bothered over the theological and philosophical arguments for God’s existence, but seem oblivious to the fact that the only creatures arguing about it are humans. We get so distracted by the academic evidence that we fail to see the significance of academicians. The planet is an evidence locker filled with 7 billion walking, talking proofs for the existence of God. Every time you cross paths with another human being you are encountering another witness testifying on God’s behalf.
Critics of Christianity label us as knuckle-dragging primitives clinging to the illusion that we have been created in a divine image, but then sadly consider their greatest intellectual achievement the discovery that humans are just animals. If you hold man with such contempt then you cannot be surprised when he acts contemptuously. If, however, you hold him in high esteem, you are justified in expecting him to act estimable. You can howl at the moon or offer prayers to God, but either way you will end up worshiping your Maker.
“Men go to gape at mountain peaks, at the boundless tides of the sea, the broad sweep of rivers, the encircling ocean and the motion of the stars, and yet they leave themselves unnoticed; they do not marvel at themselves.” (Augustine)
