Of late, the hostility toward God on the part of His Own creation has reached an unprecedented pitch.

Books declaring that He doesn’t exist and purporting to demonstrate precisely why have become brisk sellers. Websites devoted to heaping scornful sneers on those who believe that there is a God can be found with a few keystrokes. Even an ad or two on a billboard or the side of a bus stoutly denying God’s existence has been cited in news reports.

In the great wrestling match of argument and counter-argument being carried on between those of His creatures who affirm God’s existence and those who deny it, who has the best footing these days, the “upper hand,” so to speak?

And is it a dispute that matters, both subjectively and objectively, to you at the personal level?

One writer in the Bible’s New Testament seems to say so.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

(Hebrews 11: 6, King James Version)

Join us at the Moorestown Community House this coming Thursday evening, May 20, 2010, as we hear a talk, Meeting the Challenge of the New Atheism, prepared by Stephen D. Snobelen, Associate Professor in the History of Science and Technology Programme at the University of King’s College, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Dr. Snobelen is a published and internationally recognized expert on the science and religious beliefs of Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727), whose Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, (the Principia, for short) first published in 1687, is regarded as a landmark in the history of science.

We urge your close attention to what Dr. Snobelen has to say. “Meeting the Challenge of the New Atheism”
