Quotes from Norman Geisler

Saint Augustine: This former skeptic confessed: "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee."43 If all men need God, including atheists, then it is unreasonable to conclude there is no God anywhere simply because some people do not find Him.

There can only be one God according to these arguments for many reasons. First, the God of the Cosmological argument is infinite48since every finite thing needs a cause. And there cannot be two infinite Beings. For in order for there to be two beings of the same kind, they would have to differ. But two infinite Beings do not differ; they are the same kind of Being, namely, infinite. Second, the theistic God (of the Moral Argument) is absolutely perfect.

The various arguments for God show that there is only one God, not many. This God must be infinite since He is beyond the finite world He made. Further, He must be personal because He is both intelligent and moral, being the Intelligent Designer and the Moral Law Giver. Further, this God is spiritual and supernatural since He is beyond the physical and natural world. He can do miracles because He has already done the greatest miracle of all—He has created the world.

It is precisely because He is omnipotent that for Him some things are impossible.

If we are perplexed by an apparent contradiction in Scripture, it is not allowable to say, The author of this book is mistaken; but either the manuscript is faulty, or the translation is wrong, or you have not understood.

former atheist and astronomer Alan Sandage, said, "As I said before, the world is too complicated in all of its parts to be due to chance alone. I am convinced that the existence of life with all its order in each of its organisms is simply too well put together. . . . The more one learns of biochemistry the more unbelievable it becomes unless there is some kind of organizing principle—an architect for believers.

Even the atheistic, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins admitted that life appears to have been designed and that an origin one—celled animal has a thousand sets of Encyclopedias full of genetic information in it!

Truth is not affected by the attitude of the one professing it.

The truth of the matter is this: false ideas about truth lead to false ideas about life.

If the Moral Law doesn't exist, then there's no moral difference between the behavior of Mother Teresa and that of Hitler.

if someone ever asks you, "Do you believe in evolution?" you should ask that person, "What do you mean by evolution? Do you mean micro- or macroevolution?" Microevolution has been observed; but it cannot be used as evidence for macroevolution, which has never been observed.

One who claims to be a skeptic of one set of beliefs is actually a true believer in another set of beliefs." —PHILLIP E. JOHNSON
