The Fool in his heart says there is no God

Saw this article on Drudge today: 

Scientists use mathematical calculations to PROVE the existence of God


If it is ever possible to "prove" the existence of God the program will be over.  Why?

Because it is by faith that one is saved.  If it doesn't take faith it's a new covenant.

Because without faith, it is impossible to please God.  Without faith there can be no rewards.  "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6

Because He hates what faith-less people do:  "I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it."   Psalm 101:3

Because faith is the prescription for the antidote to sin - When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 5:20

Because faith brings healing.    By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.   Acts 3:16

Because it is faith that enables one to receive the work of Christ.  "God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith." Romans 3:25  No faith - no atonement.

Because faith justifies the ungodly.  "However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness." Romans 4:5   

Because faith is needed to have peace with God.  "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God."    Romans 5:1-2
Because if it was by sight, and not by faith, we would not how to live.  "For we live by faith, not by sight."   2 Corinthians 5:7

Because faith is the currency that pays the toll to get on the highway to heaven. "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6

 Because faith is the only thing that enables one to even understand the most basic things or know their creator.  "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."  Hebrews 11:3

Thank God we live in a time where faith is required to please Him.  There is a day coming soon when it will no longer take faith.  On that day every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  On that day faith is no longer necessary or possible.

Lord, give me child-like faith!   And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."   Matthew 18:3
