Episode Synopsis

There is a wide range of answers to the question "Does God exist?" The spectrum of belief can rest anywhere between "There is no God" to "There probably is no God" to "God probably exists" to "The God of the Bible exists." Tim Keller wisely insists that we look at all the evidence given not as "proofs" but as "clues." A proof is able to stand alone with no room for disagreement. A true proof for the existence of God would end all debate. There is no such proof for the existence of God. The Christian should also realize that God has not revealed Himself in this way. As Dawkins points out, God could end all discussion about his existence very quickly, very visibly, and very loudly. Instead, God has called on people to live by faith. However, this does not mean that God is entirely silent or hidden. There are a multitude of clues all around us that point towards God. The power of the clue is in their cumulative effect. Once this new viewpoint was adopted, the clues for God's existence are seen to provide a very strong cumulative force.
