ANSWERS FOR ATHEISTS AND SKEPTICS
ATHEISTIC
BELIEF #1
NO GOD
“Nowadays, in our
evolutionary conception
of the universe, there is
absolutely no room for
either a creator or a
ruler.”
Karl Marx
ATHEISTIC
BELIEF #2
UNIVERSE
CAME OUT
OF NOTHING
Stephen Hawking
"Because there is a law such
as gravity, the universe can
and will create itself from
nothing". Hawking further
claims that the universe
“popped into existence
without violating the known
laws of Nature."
ATHEISTIC
BELIEF #3
MAN IS
MATERIAL
Evolution (common ancestry) is simply

forms brought about by natural processes.

Please don’t assume that
every atheist, skeptic,
naturalist, materialist, or
agnostic believes the
same thing.
Make a connection, not
an argument.
•  Be friends
•  Be present
•  Have conversation
over meals
Always pray for your
atheist friend, and when
evaluating their claims,
be sure to follow them up
with penetrating
questions.
If you want to see the type of
“reasoning” and “scientific
explanations” atheists use in support of
materialism. Keep the conversation
going by asking simple questions, such
as, “What do you mean
by_________________?” “Can you
give me an example where this has
happened?” “Do you have any evidence
to support your claims?” “Have you
ever studied both sides of the
argument, and if so, are you open to
discuss it further?”

“If intelligent human
beings can’t create
anything close to the
human brain, why
should we expect
nonintelligent natural
laws to do so?”
Do you really believe
that my belief in God
is tantamount to
believing in Santa
Claus or the Easter
Bunny?
