Christians are delusional

Before I get into defending the Christian faith, I want to point that in order for my opponent to prove that we Christians are delusional, He would first have to prove that the opposite side, Atheism, ISN'T delusional. His provided definition of "delusion" is: "a belief that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument. " Reality and rational argument. Let's look at the supposed "reality and rational arguments" backing up atheism. To start, You have the Big Bang. They say that 13. 7 billion years ago a small speck of matter exploded and made our amazing universe. First off, How did this matter come into existence? Out of nothing, Allegedly. Reality says that something cannot come from nothing. A whole lot of REALITY there, Right? Next, The formation of stars, Planets, Etc. After the alleged Big Bang, How did all of the matter somehow come together to form the exceedingly complex, Diverse objects in our solar system? Reality says that ORDER does not come from DISORDER. Tell me, If I was to drop a nuclear bomb into a junkyard, Would I create a new Bugatti Veyron? No. I would get destruction. A speck of matter exploding couldn't create the fine-tuned order in our universe. I'm totally seeing a whole lot of reality here so far. . . Next, The idea that life came from non-life. They say that some primordial slime or something similar was struck by lightning and life appeared in the smallest way. REALITY tells us that LIFE cannot come from NON-LIFE. Next, The idea of macro evolution. They say that over millions of years, Life changed from a small amoeba-like creature into the complex life forms we see today. First off, There is no fossil evidence backing this idea up. Even if we had ONE fossil seeming to be an in-between species, There should still be BILLIONS of other in-between fossils! If we were around for as long as they say, There would be many fossils, And there are none. No logic or REALITY there. Plus, Have we OBSERVED macro evolution taking place? No, We have not. Now, Evolutionists might say, "Well, We don't have millions of years to observe it with! " That's exactly the point! You atheists say that we can't believe in God because we can't see or experiment on Him, But then you turn around and preach something that you yourselves can't see or experiment on! Are you beginning to see your own dilemma here? By your own definition of delusion, ATHEISM is delusional! You have no logical or physical evidence of any kind to back you up. So before you start attacking us, I'd like to see you prove that YOU'RE not the delusional one. By your own definition, You atheists are VERY delusional. Now for proving us Christians as not being delusional. There are many facets of this, So I'll only touch on a few. Now, My opponent's main argument is that since we have to believe in some sort of "magic, " we're delusional. Now, Using logic, If my opponent is going to attack the Bible, It should be the BIBLE that defends itself. But, Since atheists aren't exactly fans of logic, I'll probably have to defend my views from outside sources. I would just like to say that if my opponent accepts logic, Which isn't likely, Then the Biblical defense in this issue is that God is God. He can work miracles all day if He wants to. But let's get into the outside sources. Josephus' work, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 18, Chapter 3, Section 3- "Now, There was about this time Jesus, A wise man, If it be lawful to call him a man, For he was a doer of wonderful works - a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, At the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, Had condemned him to the cross, Those who loved him at the first did not forsake him, For he appeared to them alive again the third day, As the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of the Christians, So named from him, Are not extinct to this day. " A great non-Christian testimony comes form the works of Tacitus. There are many other witnesses to the miracles of Jesus, But for the sake of time, I'll leave it at the ones mentioned. Now, My opponent likely is thinking as he reads this, "all he's giving is eyewitness accounts! " Well, If he wants scientific evidence, You can't really provide any solid, Conclusive evidence from science. But I want to say two things in regard to this: First, I have heard many atheist, When questioned about their own lack of evidence supporting the Big Bang, They'll say something like, "We atheists aren't afraid to say we don't know something! We don't always have the answers, And that's okay! That's the point of science. " If they are allowed to say this and get away from defending their view of the Big Bang, That same argument is perfectly okay for us Christians as well in the defense of our beliefs. Second, An atheist, No matter what we say, Is going to say that Christ either didn't actually live, Or he simply wasn't the Christ. It is futile to continue a discussion about the scientific ramifications of miracles. In conclusion, I find it rather humorous that my opponent has no logical or scientific evidence to support his view, And yet he claims the we Christians are the delusional ones. He has no scientific evidence, And yet he demands it of us in the defense of our God. This is not only unfair in an honest debate, But it also shows the thought process of my opponent. He knows he cannot defend his view, So he instead aims his arguments solely at attacking Christianity. This is not only flawed logic, But also quite sad. If all of you out there are reading this now with an honest heart, Hear this and know the truth. God's not Dead.
