God is the source of all life. He is eternal, omnipresent, and omniscient. He dwells everywhere and sees everything. As the life that motivates our bodies is invisible (and will leave at death), so God cannot be seen with the human eye. The Bible likens Him to the invisible wind (see John 3:8).
He is nothing like man, but man (even in his "fallen" state) was made in the "likeness" of his Creator--he is separate from the animal kingdom in that he is a moral being. His conscience makes him morally responsible to God, and able to respond to Him.
The professing atheist has a big problem. He maintains that he hasn't seen any evidence "for any gods." However, the Word of God says that his ignorance (ignore-ance) is willful. He intuitively knows that God exists because of the harmony in nature. He is "without excuse" (see Romans 1:20).
The Christian on the other hand, has great advantage in the argument for God because what he maintains can be proven. The atheist cannot prove evolution. That has to be accepted by faith. Believers in the theory believe it's true because they believe data they have heard about to be true. However, God can be proven. Here is the proof:
"The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]" (John 14:21--Amplified Bible).
I have found the above to be true. The atheist hasn’t. If he doesn’t want absolute proof, that's up to him, but the consequences of refusal to obey the command to repent and trust in Christ will be the terrible justice of a holy God.
I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to have that. Please, search your motives and you will see that your ignorance is indeed "willful" (you don't want God to exist). Then repent and trust in Jesus Christ and get back to me when you know the Lord. Nothing would give me greater joy.

The Absolute Proof
