We Tried To Prove It Wrong….
Joan Olsen’s parents were Christians, but she and her physician husband were agnostic. This led to many long discussion about the Bible between these couples. Finally, the young doctor and his wife agreed to study Christianity. Here is Dr. Viggo Olsen’s account:
“I implied that our study would be honest and objective, a sincere search for truth. But our agnostic bias made us begin the search in a diabolically clever way. We would prove that the bible is not the word of God…
First, I said (to Joan), we will review all the agnostic arguments we heard during university and medical college years. Second, we will pick out and list the scientific mistakes in the bible. These mistakes will prove it to be the word of men, not the word of some infallible Creatorâ€.
The Olsens began their quest. The first question they confronted was, “Is there a God who created the universe?†An intense study led them to conclude that God does exist. But that still left them agnostic, for they weren’t convinced that God could be known. They could not see the mark of the supernatural in the bible.
