Welcome to the “Jesus: The Evidence” website

*Latest News: Atheists Admit Significant Possibility of Existence of God! (see below)*

On this site, we try to answer some of the questions atheists and agnostics have regarding Jesus being the Son of God.

This site has been designed for:

Before you start looking at the material on the site, you might want to read the “Why Bother?” section. It could save you a bit of time…

We think this website is different from any other site we’ve seen on Jesus. Go to “What’s Different about this Website?” to see why we think this.

If the above has sparked some interest, go to “So, What’s the Evidence Then?” section of the website for the details.

As you might imagine, I’m a Christian. However I used to be an agnostic. Go to “Who produced it” for the details on why I became a Christian.

Go to “Links and Further Reading” for a list of books I found very useful in my journey from agnosticism to Christianity.

“Jesus: The Evidence” is also a three-part course. Go to the “Course” section of this site for more information. If you would be interested in running a course, please contact us at support@jesustheevidence.com.

One of the intellectual “engine rooms” of contemporary atheism is Richard Dawkins. I’ve provided a brief review of his latest best-seller, “The God Delusion”. Go to ”'The God Delusion' Review” for this.

Latest News: Atheists Admit 25% to 33% Possibility of Existence of God!

In the current Atheist bus poster campaign running in the UK, I was surprised to find that the message used was: "There's Probably no God".

If the statement, "There definitely is a God" equated to 100% possibility, the statement "There definitely is not a God" equated to 0% and the statement "Don't know whether there is or isn't a God" equated to 50%, what % possibility would you put on the statement "There's probably no God"? I'm reckoning on somewhere between 25% and 33%.

I know this is all bit "pedanic semantics", but it does indicate that the atheist and humanist organisations involved in the current bus campaign concede that there is a small (but significant) possiblity that God exists.

Now, whether God exists or not has some pretty important implications for how we live our lives. It also has some pretty important implications for what happens to us after this life. In other words, whether God exists or not is one of the more important questions in this life - a question we all need to come to a definite conclusion on.  

If the fire brigade told you that there was a 10% possibility that you could experience a house fire, you'd cover your house with smoke detectors. If the police told you there was a 5% possibility that your flat would be burgled, you'd install a burglar alarm. If some atheist evolutionary biologist suggested that there's a small possibility that God existed, you might want to find out more for yourself and come to your own (more definite) conclusions. You might want to hear both sides of the arguement. You might want to hear from a range of Christians why they're Christians and determine for yourself whether or not they're all deluded nutters. You might want to do the same with people from other faiths. You might want to hear from a range of atheists/humanists why they're atheists/humanists and determine whether their reasons for being so stand up. You might want to ponder the implications for your own life if there is a God.

In the atheist bus campaign, the suggestion is to "Stop Worrying and Enjoy Your Life". Pretty good advice, if read on its own. However, the implication in the advertisement is that you can stop thinking about whether there is or isn't a God because He probably doesn't exist - and therefore the matter's pretty much settled. Odd - particularly coming from the questioning, rational people that make up the public face of atheism.

Perhaps the ad campaign should be (the less snappy): "We think there's probably no God - but do your own research and come to your own conclusions."

Perhaps this website's a place to start your research...
