Hawking and Dawkins not so revolutionary

Atheism tends to trumpet its materialist view (there is nothing except that which is physically, measurably present) as though this were some revolutionary idea that reflects society's increasing awareness of the "realities of the universe."

So, it was reassuring to read in Acts 23 that Paul used the conflict between materialists (Sadducees) and those who believed angels, spirits and in the resurrection of the dead to disrupt the council sitting in judgment on him.

As I near my fifty-second birthday, I find it harder and harder to conceive of an afterlife. But I continue to believe in it.

Lord, help my unbelief.
