As believers of God, we all know that He is real. We’ve never laid our eyes on Him, but we believe that God is real in our hearts. Still, what if there was scientific proof that God was real? What if believers were able to prove that the God we love is real scientifically? Finding this scientific proof of God’s existence is the mission of author Eric Metaxas. He’s on a mission to break atheists’ tired and unsuspecting claim that science and religion are somehow conflicting and incompatible. In Metaxas’ book “Is Atheism Dead?,” he breaks down some of the most convincing evidence for God’s existence.

Metaxas also gets into confirming details that he feels the media doesn’t give to the public. Amid a shortage of information provided in the press, Metaxas says he felt obliged to share the remarkable discoveries he came across. Metaxas claims that he came across so much information over the years from science that points to God’s existence that it became overpowering, and he had to write a book about it. From that information came the beginning of his “Is Atheism Dead?” book. In his book, Metaxas explains the evidence to continue to come out from science. Metaxas says that science is pointing to God, bringing faith in, and pushing atheism out.

With his book, Metaxas hopes that Christians start looking into archaeological and scientific proof that God exists. He also thinks that “Is Atheism Dead?” has the power to strengthen the faith of believers. The book tackles many examples, from the human body’s intricacies to the supposed discovery of biblical Sodom. Emphasizing the significance of exploring biblical evidence, Metaxas warned of what could happen when believers avoid exploring these views. Metaxas says that by not exploring these views, people are unintentionally allowing the truth to be eclipsed. He also says that by continuing to cover up the facts, people will eventually forget the truth.

Metaxas says that there is a rampant misunderstanding in culture today: people can live a fruitful life without God. To Metaxas, this sentiment isn’t possible and can lead people toward the wrong determinations. “Is Atheism Dead?” isn’t just for the faithful; Metaxas says he hopes that the average person who isn’t sure of what they believe will find inspiration to look closely for proof that God exists. If someone unsure of what they think finds evidence that God exists, they may feel compelled to turn their life over to God.

Christians around the world know that God exists. There may be little physical evidence of His existence, but that doesn’t shatter their faith. Christians don’t need proof that God exists because He exists in our hearts. Still, some people have trouble believing in something without evidence. Non-believers can’t see God, so they automatically question his existence. Having scientific evidence that God exists could be a game-changer. Having this proof could strengthen any believer’s faith and change the mind of a non-believer. By having this proof, non-believers could start believing in God and turn their life to Him. “Is Atheism Dead?” is available for purchase now.
