Chapter 6<\/p>

Eternal Justice For All<\/h1><\/p>

 <\/p>

Without an afterlife, there is no justice in the end—Atheism has nothing to offer mankind.<\/i><\/p>

 <\/p>

 <\/p>

 <\/p>

Does any man or woman on earth believe in their heart that life ends with the grave? <\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

The truth is, science knows very little about the universe, but even less about the possible
existence of a soul in man. Science generally looks backward in time in its research, but what
can it tell us about the future? For surely, what is in store for us after this life is the most
important question of all<\/span>.<\/p>

 <\/p>

When sitting in a foxhole in a time of war, with artillery shells falling all around, what is
the natural inclination of every person, whether believer or nonbeliever? And, more specifically,
what would be the natural instinct of a highly-educated unbeliever such as a doctor of
philosophy, a mathematician, a physicist, an atheist, or an agnostic? The answer: To pray; to
pray urgently within one’s heart to a God somewhere; to pray for survival, mercy, or forgiveness.
Because in these circumstances, he finds himself in need and constrained to be humble. He is
ready now––when it really counts––to acknowledge before heaven and earth how little he really
knows. He is ready to stop lecturing his conscience and, instead, to start listening to it.<\/p>

 <\/p>

For the better part of his life, he may have reasoned away the existence of God—for
sport, for personal pride, to make a living, or to be more fully accepted among his peers in the
scholastic community. He may have even been a sincere seeker of truth all his life, yet unable to
extract himself from the precepts of men. In any event, as he arrives at death’s door, the
consequences that apply to the choices he made throughout his life are now imminent.<\/p>

 <\/p>

What is the final outcome for mankind if atheism is true? If we carry this theory out to its
logical conclusion, it would deny true justice and mercy to all men, women, and children, and to
all creatures large and small who have ever walked the earth, for there would be no eternal
rewards for those who do good and no punishments for those who do evil. <\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

The theories of mainstream science provide no moral framework for civilization and offer
no provision to take care of those who have suffered cruelty at the hands of others. Maybe the
scientist believes that man’s justice is adequate? Oh my, please no. One cringes at the thought. If
these philosophies of man are to be believed, how unfair and lacking in purpose all of our lives
would be! There would be no true justice or mercy, and no basis for right and wrong. The grave
is the end. A man lives, and a man dies; there is no purpose in his existence, and no purpose, <\/span><\/p>

ultimately, in the civilization he creates. Planet Earth, therefore, is no different from any other
planet, living or dead, in the galaxy<\/span>. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Atheism has to be wrong; otherwise, there is no future for any of us, and the state of
mankind is awful. Poverty, sickness, diseases, wars, natural disasters, despotic regimes, and
crime have been the norm for most people in the earth's history. Surely, there is no fairness in
that. A philosophy professor sitting in a faculty lounge with a cup of coffee in one hand and a
donut in the other, enjoying a comfortable life with his freedoms protected and having plenty of
free time to reason away the existence of God, can't undo these innumerable injustices of the
world that undermine his ad hoc system of morality.<\/p>

 <\/p>

We certainly acknowledge that organized religion is responsible for its share of evil and
misery in the world. Evil is evil regardless of who is responsible. But it should be noted that
atheists and atheist regimes have plenty of blood on their hands as well, including a starring role
in the great genocides of the 20th century. But there is nothing so terrible in the universe as the
inherent suggestion by science that life on earth has no meaning, that there is no life after death,
and that there is no justice in the end for the acts of men, good and evil, committed in this life.<\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

Man's presence here on earth is not an accident of nature. <\/span><\/p>

 <\/p>

The universe has a purpose. Life has a purpose. Man has a purpose<\/span>.<\/p>"}
