For anyone to claim he is one, he must first prove that he is in possession of all the possible, unlimited and total knowledge of everything about the Universe, its existence and functioning, which they cannot claim. On the contrary, an intellectually honest atheist admits that our knowledge of the Universe, its origin, function and existence is limited. Hence, an intellectually honest atheist will admit that he doesn't know whether God exists of not.

An atheist who claims God does not exist, is exercising his belief that what he claims is true, a belief very much like faith. He hopes that eventually one day, God's non existence will be proved. Hope and faith are characteristics of believers. We, Christians believe God exists, atheist believe God doesn't exist. Opposing positions but both in need of profound faith.

There are so many things atheists admit not knowing about the Universe, its coming into existence, its functioning and its physical laws, that they implicitly leave the door open to the possibility that there is someone out there who actually knows everything. We, Christians, believe in the One who knows everything, controls everything and is constantly and continuously involved with everything.

Atheists believe in what can be observed, measured and replicated through either physical senses and/or devices which enhance those senses and/or expose things that our senses cannot perceive. We, Christians believe the same things, plus we acknowledge that there are manifestations of the Creation that cannot be observed, measured and/or reproduced, yet whose existence cannot be denied based on the effect that they produce on the physical realm. The human mind is one of those examples: it is a well known scientific fact, never denied by atheists or Christians, that we use only about one tenth of our brain capacity. What are the other nine tenths for? Do they serve a purpose? And if we could double our brain function capabilities, what new and wonderful manifestation of the mind would become evident? Not to mention using the totality of our brain functions.

Christians hold on to the beliefs that God, the Creator of all things, the possessor of the total possible knowledge in the Universe, His limitless attributes, is a reality that, even as the science today cannot grasp, measure or understand, it cannot deny His existence, by its very limitations. Claiming that something doesn't exist because we cannot measure, detect, see or understand is not scientific.
