Jason Lisle: Creationism exists, but atheism doesn't

My misunderstanding.  When you previously wrote:  "I don't care if it's all true," I understood that to mean that you don't care what is true.  In that case you would be opposing/suppressing truth.  If you're saying that you don't care which statement/outcome is true, but that you care what is true, then you wouldn't be suppressing the truth.

Is all knowledge gained by falsifiable means?  Can empiricism account for the entirety of reality?  If it cannot but you choose to use it as the sole basis by which to judge theistic arguments, you could be suppressing the truth.

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
