One of the conclusions in our article entitled “Is God Really Omnipotent and Omniscient?” is that God knows everything that will occur in the future (i.e., He is omniscient). [Note: To read that article, click on its title.] And, because God is omniscient, He knows the outcome of every situation, even before the situation […]
Before attempting to address the primary question posed by this article, we want to make clear what we mean by the terms prove and God in this article.

A number of people do not think the events in the Bible regarding Adam and Eve are authentic. The underlying basis for the disbelief of most of these people is probably that they do not believe in God or, at least, they do not believe that Adam and Eve were actual people who were […]
