Last Thursday, a new book, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think, soared to the top of Amazon.com's sales charts, nabbing top spots in the Atheist category and Apologetics category.
Authored by evangelist Ray Comfort, the book knocked Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion to the No. 2 spot in the Atheist category. Overall, Comfort's book ranked in the top 50 bestsellers on Amazon.
The book, subtitled "Answers to Questions from Angry Skeptics," is a response to a movement known to many evangelical leaders as Militant Atheism, a new breed of atheists who aim to eliminate Christianity.
Ray Comfort believes the key in witnessing to atheists is to appeal to their conscience, rather than their intellect. Every person has been given a conscience or "inner light" by God that "leaves us without excuse for our sin," according to the book.
"The issue isn’t the existence of God. If the atheist is wrong and there is a Creator, then he was wrong. He gambled and he lost. No big deal. The real gamble is that there’s no hell. That’s what makes the player sweat just a little. 'What if?' is the deep and nagging doubt."
You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think was released on Feb. 12 to coincide with "Darwin Day," which marks the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin. Consequently that is also my birthday.
"It was Darwin who devised, for the first time in history, a way to explain Creation without the need for a Creator," stated the Living Waters Web site, a ministry founded by Comfort.
