To be an atheist you must know without a doubt that there is no God. This is an absolute statement requiring absolute or total knowledge. Thomas Edison said, "We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything." If the atheist would have 1% knowledge of the whole universe, there is 99% that he has no knowledge of and therefore he would have to acknowledge that God may exist. If that person insists that even with his lack of knowledge there is no God then in the strict since of the word they cannot be an atheist.
The professing atheist is actually known as an "agnostic" or one who expresses ignorance to the existance of God. It is not that an atheist can't find God, but that he won't. This can be rightly compared to a thief that can't find a policeman. An atheist that acknowledges that there is a God is admitting that he is ultimately accountable to him. This can be a very unpleasant thought for some.
I will continue to pray for those who are lost and do not know that Jesus is their Lord and Savior and is the only way to escape an eternity in hell. "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none thats done good." (Psalms 14:1) May God bless you and keep you safe.
