Anyone who believes in intelligent design will veiw all of the natural world around them as tangible proof for God. I believe He does make Himself known, you just need to have your heart in the right place, and be willing to listen.

If you can show me where it says this, I'd like to see it.

If you believe God created the universe, I see no problem with this one.

Because the "good" athiest never asked for forgiveness of his sins. God gives us a choice, either accept or deny Him, based on that decision, you either spend eternity with Him, or apart from Him.

Jesus was simply the firstborn, I'm sure after his birth Mary got jiggy with Joseph. After all, they were engaged to be married.
