In the book Argument Methods of Eloquence by Trieu Truyen Dong (China), there are several stories to prove that this world is atheistic. I would like to tell them here:
1. Michelangelo was an Italian famous artist in the Renaissance. He accepted the Roman Church to draw an oil painting of Adam and Eva, and he asked:
“Did Adam have a navel?”
According to the Bible, God sculptured Adam following his figure and withdraw Adam a rib to create Eva. This first couple gave birth to mass mankind nowaday. Adam was the first person and was most perfect. Everyone has a navel, so does Adam. But Adam was the figure of God. Adam has a navel, therefore God has a navel. God is the supreme creator, why is he created and given birth by others ? If God doesn’t have a navel but Adam had, this mean God didn’t sculpture Adam like him. This is against the Bible. If the navel of Adam is a mistake of God in creating, this is against the Church because God never makes any mistake. If Adam didn’t have a navel, then everyone of us has but Adam didn’t. Thus, the creation of God was not perfect, and Adam was not perfect. In conclusion, Adam had a navel or not, both make the Church contradictory.
2. One day, a believer went to the church. He said:”Father, I believe in God, but I don’t know if God can help me?”
The vicar answered calmly:”God is almighty. God can help you what you wish. All you need is to pray.”
The believer was worried, saying:”My neighbour also trust in God. And if I pray God for raining, he will pray God for stopping raining. How does God decide ?”
The vicar: “…”
3. European scholastic philosophers said God was almighty, and the world was created by God. About this point, Cao ni lo asked:”Can God create astone which he can not lift ?” With this question, scholastic philosophers surrendered. If answering that God can create a stone which he can not life, then there will be a stone that he can not lift. And thus God is not almighty. If answering that God can not create a stone that he can not lift, then there will be a stone that he can not create. And therefore God is not almighty. Both ways, God is not almighty. Nearly one thousand years have passed, this question still has deep impression into theologians’ minds, and they haven’t had the answer.
4. Clothes have no souls, so all souls are naked. Jesus is also a soul & he ...! Angels are souls, & naked. I may say that if we met angels, we would see them naked.
For you, the theistic, please teach me that how do I trust God ? Thanks a lot
