A fool is one who acts unwisely or imprudently.  A fool can also refer to a person who has been duped.  It’s interesting to me that David said, in Psalm 14:1, that a fool is one who says in his heart that God isn’t real.  I have heard a lot of people give arguments for why they believe God doesn’t exist, but none of those arguments has been compelling enough for me to stake my whole life on it.  I was listening to a cable news show a few weeks ago, and one of the guest commentators surprised the host by claiming her belief in God because of the human body.  It’s funny to me that we look at a piece of technology such as an iPad and stand both amazed at its beauty and awed at its magical abilities but never give the human body a second glance.  How is it that I can look at my finger and, using my mind, make it move up and down?  Why can’t I make your finger do that with my mind?  Where does consciousness even come from in the first place?  Am I to really believe that it’s a result of evolutionary processes?  What about good and evil?  We can’t look at what Adolf Hitler did and say that it was not evil.  So where does evil come from?  Good and evil can’t exist outside of God.  And what about sin?  Survival of the fittest says I’m in it for me, and I do what I need to do to pass on my genes to others.  If that’s the case, then why do I do what actually hurts me sometimes?  Why do alcoholics keep drinking even though they are hurting their families?  Without a doctrine of sin, there are many aspects of the human experience that can’t be explained.  Evidence of God exists all around us and even within us; don’t follow the way of the fool and say in your heart, “there is no God.”
