Opposites do exist!

When an agnostic utters that God does not exist and he only believes that science is the supreme energy that is relevant, he further will insist that once we die we are no longer a reality since the Big Bang created our existence via some sort of explosion and here we are.

However, if there is an up then there must be a down. If there is a northern direction of course a southern path is also real. When an evil exists there has to be a goodness, and if there is a devil (called Satan) there absolutely is a deity known as God. Looking around and finding that hatred is everywhere we know that love is the direct opposite as well. Each human is given life and they must also die as well. But here is the problem that atheists and agnostics will discover at the point of death; eternal life is the ultimate reality and life is the continuation not from a Big Bang but from the hand of God who created each of us to give eternal life forever.

It is difficult to understand what agnostics use to discern the idea that a living human being came from nothing and is somehow a scientific result that has no purpose except to just be.

At Christmas we place ornaments on trees and tinsel all around to make a statement that Christ has entered the world and it is right to sing out with joy and praise. Then, while watching the faces of children and viewing the Nutcrackers that seem to make an inanimate soldier into a living being if for only a short interval. Perhaps these nutcrackers symbolize what humans are like until their period of existence is over, and like the end of the Christmas season the nutcrackers are put away until next year.

Realistically they have no birth, no purpose, and no life as we know what a living person is all about. A puppeteer does the same thing whenhe/she makes a puppet, controls its movements and speaks through an invisible method until the lights go out and the little manikins go into a suitcase for the next show. Is this the scenario that agnostics cater to? And if so, who is making the arms and lips move as if they are real?

Fantasy is a make-believe entity that entertains some and baffles others. Yet to be with God’s purpose of creation we must try to do the Will of God without pretending he doesn’t exist. There are unfortunately many opposites to God and Righteousness. But God already has the plan of eternal life for all believers in hand. It was part of creation and is a gift that has no end.
