The term atheist means someone who denies the existence of God, whereas the term agnostic means that person holds the theory that God is unknown or unknowable.
When you share with an atheist, think logically. Ask them if when they see a painting they know there is a painter, when they see a building they know there is a builder, when they see order (trees planted in a row, 20 coke cans in order) there must be an orderer.....so when they see this huge, beautiful, organized, and intricate creation, there must be a Creator. Look at how intricate and detailed creation is.....Did you know that the eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings, the focusing muscles move an estimated 100,000 times a day, and the retina contains 137,000,000 light sensitive cells? Did you know that the earth is so exactly perfectly set in motion that if it were to move the slightest bit out of its place to be a little closer or further from the sun we would either burn alive or freeze. Also, if the earth were to rotate any faster or slower, we would all either die or float up in the air.
Ask them....if you believe in evolution, you think a big explosion created order right? If they say yes then ask, "ok, what if I put a bunch of wood in a pile and blow it up wtih dynamite.....would it make a house in ten years, a hundred years, 6 million years?" By saying this they will realize the foolishness of their beliefs.
Once someone acknowledges their could be a God, then its much easier to let them see how they have a conscience and know when they sin and show them the fact that they need a Savior from that sin. Also, some books which show the evidence behind Christianity such as Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" and "The Case for Faith" and Mark Cahill's "One Heartbeat Away" are good for intellectual folks that have trouble understanding certain aspects about God's character or the evidence for His proof.
Hope this helps. Go serve Your King and know that He is alive and well and will guide you into all righteousness. You are all in my daily prayers.
