Ever since his epiphany and his conversion to the ‘good side’, Pastor Majid Michel takes the time to explain why faith in God (aka Yahweh) makes sense logically, desperate to convince the ungodly why they are wrong and he is right.
Majid attempts to use the inadequacies of science to explain why God exists, although he uses logically flawed arguments which seems to make so much sense to his brain but are quite flawed when they hit the light of day.
His latest argument suggests as much. Taking to his favourite medium Instagram, Majid attempts to explain why God’s invisibility is not exactly an argument against his existence.
According to him, the atom cannot be seen by the human eye, yet we know it exists – same as God.

To which I reply, which God? Anybody can say the fact we cannot visibly see their God does not mean it does not exist – even the fact you have not seen the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not mean he does not exist. That is not the line where the argument would be made.
Atoms are not visible to the naked eye, but the hugely flawed naked human eye is not really the measure of what exists or does not exist. We cannot see the atom but there are a thousand and one ways scientists can detect the atom. And some of the things he listed himself shows how scientists manipulate that basic unit of matter in so many ways – such as in nuclear fission.
We don’t have to see the atom to know it exists because there are other ways to detect it. God, for all his majesty, has never given us a very consistent, scientifically verifiable way of measuring his existence. We can’t trust the ramblings of so-called Christians, and Muslims and Jews and Budhists and Hindus when they all ‘experience’ God so very differently. Even within Christianity, the Catholic, the Mormon and the Evangelical would all experience God very, very differently. That is no way to measure one entity.
In science, an atom is an atom is an atom – that’s the only way you know your results are right. A Christian scientist, Muslim and atheist scientist performing the same experiment under the same conditions would yield the same results – you can’t say that about religion.
Pastor Majid should get some better analogies to prove his God because these juvenile ones certainly aren’t working.
He had never seen an atom, didn’t know what it looked like, but he did know that it had three parts to it. And he expected me to believe it! – Majid Michel actually wrote this!
