The Argument
from Religious need:
1.
All persons need God.
a. Theists admit it.
b. Atheists reveal it.
2.
What we really need, really exists.
3.
Therefore, God really exists.
Former
Atheist Francis Collins who headed up the human genome project asked:
“Why
would such a universal and uniquely human hunger [for God] exist, if it were
not connected to some opportunity for fulfillment?... Creatures are not born
with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger:
well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well there is
such a thing as water” (The Language of God, 38).
So, if there is a God-sized vacuum in the human heart, then nothing smaller
than God will be able to fill it.
Thanks to Dr. Norman Geisler
