Sir Bacon accepts King David's thought-line in (Psalms 53:1) "the fool says into his heart that there is no God... He argues that it is sanity to accept the existence of God; for, the 'spirit within man' affirms it.

Atheistic in their words; theistic their hearts

Listen anywhere, the proud talk of an atheistic fools. The pride of material wealth and pleasures of life have walled them away, from seeking and worshiping God. They have forgotten their maker and provider. Many have been fooled. Some were extremely arrogant to pronounce themselves as Gods; while, others devised crafty stories and tirelessly worked upon theories to reason the world out of theism.

Charles Darwin's 'theory of Evolution' denied the creation of the world. He postulated the ape to man theory. Others theorized single-celled to multi-cellular evolution. Theists claim that the atheistic world would still wait; hopelessly, to no more than an eternity, to prove the credibility of their atheistic assertions. Alarming is the mad rush to disapprove God and His creation, in its splendor and glory.

Sadly, by the end of his evolutionary journey, the now-believer in God, Charles Darwin regretted the destructive nature of his false doctrine.

God's love is expressed all around us. It reveals itself in the beauty of nature with its plants and trees; the colorful birds and animals; the terrestrial and marine life; the fresh water rivers and lakes; the salty seas and the vast oceans. All lifeforms interconnected perfectly within a constant temperature and atmosphere, in a microscopically managed and climatically balanced biosphere, revealing the intricate 'love design' of God. It is, therefore, just to proclaim that all glory and honor belongs to God. Worship Him!

Our Lord says that we are blessed; because, we believe in the Lord and on His son Jesus Christ. Rather than representing himself in divine form, he chose a human form and dwelt among us.

The blind, the lame, the lepers saw God's glory, because they believed. The dead man Lazarus came back to life through the believing family. Without faith, we cannot please God.
