Review of God's Not Dead (2014) by Daniel K — 05 Feb 2015

For the longest time, ever since I can remember, I've been an atheist... a strong, stubborn and always correct atheist! I could put any Christian to shame in my highschool by asking them the most challenging questions and making them look like total idiots who didn't know anything concrete about their faith! I always won the debates and left the christian kids confused, speechless and questioning their beliefs.

I guess I owed it to my Dad. Why? Well because He was a Professor of Evolutionary Biology. And from when I was really young, there was only 1 person who disliked Christians as much as I did... and that was my Dad.

Although we had gone to church before (which I thought was sooooo boring) and knew some Christian ppl, my family didn't believe much in anything actually. I thought that biology was the reason I was born and that after I die I would just disintegrate and that was it.

No life after death, no purpose for humanity and no "higher being" who was in control.... especially of my life! I was the boss of my own life!! I thought death would just be a black dream forever.

..nothing... the end. But the question always haunted me "What if?" "How bout if there was more to life than this?" My ego wouldn't allow me to ask my Christians friends. But I always knew that there was a possibility that I might be wrong.

One of my closest friends was hit by a car over the summer and later died because of his injuries. At that difficult time, I felt as if I had lost more than a friend, I felt like I lost a brother. I use to tell him everything.

... my beliefs, my arguments and my doubts, and he would listen so intently. At his funeral, I was given the biggest shock of my life.... HE WAS A CHRISTIAN!! I couldn't believe it! How come he didn't tell me?! How could this have slipped by?!! During his funeral, the preacher began his message and shared his testimony.

... and I swear that it was as if it was just for me! There was actual manuscripts and documents for proof that Jesus was an actual man? One thing really touched me that he said... "art is made by an artist so what's not to say that creation was made by a creator.

" Questions after questions flooded my mind.... If God didn't create the world, then why does everything work so perfectly together? And how is it possible that miracles happen everyday? And scientists now say that the big bang theory has too many loop holes for them to explain?? Christians use faith, but what can scientists use for the unexplainable? From that day one, I decided that I wasnt willing to take the risk!!!! I became a Christian secretly.

But even so, my heart wasn't 100% into the idea of "God" and "Creation" and all that stuff, until my friend took me to this movie! ANSWERS TO MY TOUGH QUESTIONS!!!! My Dad was speechless! And my Father God is happy to have his son home now! You don't need proof to believe in God, you just need faith! But I have the proof now too!!!
