Abstract

Can you prove the existence of God?

Dr. Michael Baxter discusses his opinion that it is not possible to prove the existence of God to people who are non-believers; rather you can only show them the shortcomings of their own non-belief. Being Christian means living your life in a way that would not make sense if God did not exist.
