Happy Atheist's Day!
"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'” (Proverbs 14:1)
Not only does the Bible say that it is foolish to claim there is no God, it also shows that the one who tells himself such that he actually hates knowledge:
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)
How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools hate knowledge? (Provebs 1:22)
Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the LORD... (Proverbs 1:29)
Richard Dawkins illustrates his lack of fear in God and his hate of knowledge when he said,
"Now I want to… explain why [the idea of the supernatural] can never offer us a true explanation of the things we see in the world and universe around us. Indeed, to claim a supernatural explanation of something is not to explain it at all and, even worse, to rule out any possibility of its ever being explained. Why do I say that? Because anything supernatural must by definition be beyond the reach of a natural explanation. It must be beyond the reach of science and the well-established, tried and tested scientific method… To say something happened supernaturally is not just to say ‘We don’t understand it’ but to say ‘We will never understand it, so don’t even try’."
(quoted from https://phos31.wordpress.com/…/12/dawkins-vs-the-supernatu…/)
What Richard Dawkins is saying is that he only loves knowledge which is based on naturalism. He hates knowledge which is based on supernatural truths. He limits his own knowledge to that which an be explained by purely material means. He rejects truth which is spiritual, such as that God exists and that He has revealed Himself in a supernaturally revealed collection of books we know as the Bible.
If Dawkins really loved knowledge, he would at least accept that there might be a supernatural element to life which would explain things he still cannot understand in his material world--things like logic, mathematics, morality, reason. But he doesn't really love knowledge. He is a bigot when it comes to knowledge. He is prejudiced against anything spiritual. Why? Because he hates God. He has no fear of God because he keeps telling himself that God doesn't exist. Yet he still hates him.
Richard Dawkins knows that non-material abstract things exist, and he even knows that they cannot be explained by natural means, but he hates the knowledge that their existence is attributed only by a transendent supernatural Being we know as God. He has to borrow from the Christian worldview which rightly ascribes the enormous complexity of the Universe to our intelligiant Creator in order to make sense of his own, otherwise he would only know chaos.
Dawkins thinks the supernatural cannot be known. He is wrong now, but one day the spiritual will be more real to him than he ever imagined.
