In this really insightful and wise video, Dr. Frank Turek responds to this young man who insists, despite his church and Christian family upbringing, hasn't been able to come to faith in Christ or belief in God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8S7LlY3PUM
And here are my added comments to the video: I would interject several important things: First, for this young man and others still in unbelief, but who assert they've sincerely been seeking God, but haven't found the proof they desire: First, have you sincerely ASKED God to reveal Himself to you? If not, WHY not - how can you be seriously searching for God and not have done this, even if just in a personal (but SERIOUS) experiment? Second, God is spirit - NO one can PROVE His existence because one cannot hold or point to supernatural things or a supernaturally transcendent God. HOWEVER, there is absolutely MASSIVE evidence for His existence, from how the universe and all matter scientists say once did not exist spectacularly and immediately appeared with great power of specificity functionalities per the array of breathtakingly complex building blocks that IMMEDIATELY appeared, to the mind-blowing complexity and precision of its many systems, the stunning array of mathematically sophisticated arrangements of the information and language that makes up the DNA coding of every living creature, to the amazing number of highly specific prophecies God's prophets gave in Scripture that came true with perfect historic accuracy. That JUST the right and NECESSARY elements to build a finely tuned universe IMMEDIATELY "just happened" to appear, and that also instantly began assembling with unfathomable accuracy, and on an enormous scale - all of these as opposed to random chaos one would otherwise expect of blind, random material things incapable of assembling anything whatsoever. Our universe has such precision in its functionalities and mechanisms that they are the ONLY reasons the scientific method even works! And a simple cell, the building block of all biological life, is more complex in it's design, functionality and operation than ANY machine ever built by man! Without a guiding, powerful, intelligent Creator, such things are impossible - so, a lack of EVIDENCE is NOT anyone's problem!
Lastly, if God miraculously peeled back the clouds across the night sky and gave some spectacular sign or audible voicing that made His existence undeniable - do you really think that would cause everyone to acknowledge Him as GOD or commit to Him as Lord - or would it not, at best, merely cause them to acknowledge - just as Scripture says the demons do - ONLY His existence? As the reason God doesn't do this (as He did in the Old Testament, leading Israel by a pillars of cloud and fire, or as He did in the flesh, through the many miracles of Jesus / also FULLY God!), is likely because it won't guarantee their submittance / commitment / repentance - it would only produce acknowledgement of His existence. But God requires MORE than mere belief in His existence for salvation. Plus, He's already given everyone a way of seeking Him through their simple voice, of prayer and communication to Him - have YOU at least done THAT? Jesus did many incredible, undeniable miracles right in front of the masses - and yet, people still would not believe in Him. So, God has given us a ton of scientific, Biblical, prophetic and historical evidences of His existence across the universe, world, and through His many, astounding FULFILLED prophecies, along with a way to personally seek Him. Thus, the question remains, HAVE you sought Him and tried to communicate with Him? Again, if not, WHY not?!!!
To add: And to be fair, MOST people aren't even seeking or desiring to know of God's existence or what He wants of them - as they are too busy following their own desires while also avoiding, denying and resisting Him with all of their strength. For such people, EVIDENCE has NEVER been their blockage to faith in God, as their true blockages are ONLY related to their own personal desires to keep God at bay while keeping themselves on their own personal throne!
