*Atheism is unprovable scientifically and philosophically. Still, Atheists try to tell people that the "no God" belief is "the default position of rational intelligence," merely because God cannot be seen with physical eyes.
No Atheist can prove that God does not exist, yet often they act as if they have already proven their position--without even arguing it.
(Of course, no one can prove to someone who does not believe in God that God exists, either.)
But everyone who believes in Jesus is able to experience God through prayer, obedience and His Spirit.
The three main evidences for God are His Creation (Intelligent Design), His Word (Messianic prophecy and the portraits and recorded words of Christ), and the experienceable presence of His Spirit (in the human conscience).
Obviously, faith in God does not hinder scientific excellence or rationality: most of the modern founders of science believed in God.
*Evolutionary theory employs scientific data, but both believers and unbelievers in evolution have the same scientific data to consider. Evolutionists look at fossils and say, "Millions of years of evolution." Biblical creationists look at fossils and say, "Evidence of a worldwide flood." The scientific data itself cannot prove either interpretation true or false. Even if things developed as Evolutionists say they did, a purposeful Intelligence would still be needed. The complexity of biological cells convinced the leading Atheist of the 20th century that God exists.
Ironically, an Evolutionist can look at an automobile and see all of the design and intelligence and energy that was necessary to create it, yet the same Evolutionist looks at the human body and brain and denies evidence of intelligent design.
*Relativism is the position that mutually exclusive views of reality could both be true. For instance, you have three people sitting in a room.
The first person believes that there is no God and that humans evolved from star chemicals as a result of a cosmic explosion. He is a naturalist materialist and so he does not believe in God or and afterlife.
The second person is a Buddhist (or a Hindu), and he believes that everything material is an illusion, and that there is no external objective truth. He believes that there is an afterlife but that there is ultimately no continued personal existence of the soul.
The third person is biblical Christian who believes that God created people fully developed as humans, and that there is a Heaven or a Hell to face in the afterlife.
Clearly, no matter what you believe, and no matter which is true, these three views of life are mutually exclusive, each against the other two.
Therefore relativism must be false.
All three people cannot be right because they hold views mutually exclusive to the other two.
As you read books and magazines, watch TV and movies, and listen to songs on the radio, you will see each of these three faiths being promoted.
But remember that logically only one, if any, can be correct.
