The answer to this is as old as Adam & Eve. Literally. The psychology of atheism has its roots in Vanity, being self sufficient, being free, vain... These people just won't submit themselves to reflections that might find them short of perfect. I'm not speaking here of some individuals who asks questions such as: "If there's a God, Why does He permits such sufferings?" Those people are looking for answers and are hurting. They will come around and finally know God for what He is all about. But the true atheist refuses to let himself go there. He will bring all sorts of arguments to put himself above such primitive superstitions. I have been appalled at some arguments so called educated and highly intelligent people have brought up to discard the existence of God and the credibility of the Bible. Hanging on to things like: "There is some discrepancy in the accounts of the events told by the Gospels."
This was on t.v.! I found it so insignificant when every discrepancy mentioned were completely explainable by the simple fact that not each one of those apostles were at the same place at the same time all of the time. Each one reports what he saw and what he heard according to his position at the time. Which makes it even more believable because we are not talking about something that occurred in the space of a few minutes. These are recollections over a three years span.
the atheists are just afraid of going to a higher level than their so superior physical brains. It's a pity. God gave them their intelligence they should put it to better use.
