AN ATHEIST, with the help and support of the ACLU, brought legal action against the U.S. government, claiming they were biased in that they did not provide a holiday for atheists. The judge’s reply: “You atheists already have a holiday.” “How so?” answered the infidel. The judge, pointing to a calendar, replied, “Look, its right in front of you---the first of April!”

Psalm14:1 and 53:1 both say the exact same thing: The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

Did you hear about the God-fearing astronomer who once made a small planetarium and invited an atheist friend to see it? He had this little machine that represented the various planets of the solar system in their orbits. The atheist who had made a study of astronomy in his leisure was delighted over the precision with which the planets and their satellites were represented. He was duly impressed. “Who made this apparatus?” he asked.

The God-fearing astronomer dryly replied, “Oh, it made itself. I had bits of metal here in my laboratory, pieces of leather there on the shelf, other machine parts on the floor. The wind blew through the window one afternoon. At the same time there was considerable vibration in the building because of passing trucks. Gradually these pieces arranged themselves in their present form.”

The atheist was amused. “What nonsense,” he exclaimed. “Suppose the parts did come together by accident. Their correspondence to the planets in their orbits must have been worked out by some competent mathematician, someone with intelligence, someone who could think.”

“O, well,” said the God-fearing man. “There was a kind of blind purpose in it all. The various parts seemed to want to come together without realizing what they were doing. The wind was blowing very hard that day and that helped it along.”

The next time you take a look through a telescope or microscope, ask yourself, “Did such a complex universe create itself?” Its kind of laughable, isn’t it?
