Acknowledging God's Existence: Dearth Of Research Or Drive For More? by delexy123: 4:10pm On Jan 29, 2018
It is not a surprise to anyone who have had discussions with atheists to be told accepting God's existence is just an avenue to shy away from brain tasking researches. In fact 'attributing ignorance to God' is a famous line among atheists...but is this assertion by atheists really true? Well, this senerio below will give us some insight...

A primitive man(lets say from Amazon) walking along the forest path comes across a drone...Does he assume it was formed by accident(or evolution) OR does he believe it was made by a creator whose identity he is yet to be known?... If he is to opt in for the former, then it suffice to say he won't be obliged to know how the drone came to be as there is little or no motivation to know the origin of an object that can only exist by chance...On the contrary, if he goes for the latter, then questions such as these arises...Who is the creator? Where is he? Why did he create it? How the he create it? What material(s) was it created from? Why is it here?...The quest to answer these questions spurs him to make researches and hypotheses. These can even go drive him further to make prototype(s) from materials available around him rather than a long wait for another one to appear by chance.

I remember how my fondness for toy cars as a child was rooted in the urge to make one. Accepting that the toy was made by a creator rather than being formed by chance was the first step that spurred me to make one(hey buddy don't get too carried away, the one I made isn't what you think it is). One statement I remember telling my younger self then was 'since this toy do have a creator then I can make one myself'. Knowing the toy was created, I asked questions akin to the ones asked by the primitive man in the above paragraph. The bid to satisfy my curious mind prompted me to disassemble the toy, examine the mechanism behind it and make one myself. Looking back in time, if I had conceded that the toy existed by chance, I wouldn't have bothered myself with the need to know the mechanism behind the toy let alone making one ,rather, I would have waited long for the time another toy being made to be by chance to present itself but the likelihood of that happening again is low.

One can infer that the probability of recreating an object is higher when one acknowledges it has a creator than when one concedes its existence to chance. Also, contrarily to the untruth being spread in the atheists circus, accepting that the universe which makes us wonder in awe was designed by a Creator gives rise to questions which share similarities with the one being asked by the aforementioned primitive man and the quest to answer these questions has driven man to make researches, experiments, hypotheses, theories, inventions which has gotten him to this present age of civilization he is....and the quest still goes on. If man had conceded his 'ignorance to chance' as atheist try hard to make us believe, I doubt man would have gotten to where he is today.
