Dealing With Existential Angst

An atheist wrote telling me the reason people believe in God is simply "existential angst"(1) arising from the "fact that the universe is founded on chance and indifference."

1. She's right about the "existential angst."
Many people seek God to overcome feelings of pointlessness - why not? Our souls know we were made for something better.(2)

2. She's wrong about the "fact."
Honest evolutionists admit it's a theory with flaws. No human witnessed the origin of our world, but when we know the Lord, we trust His account.(3) 

3. She's wrong about a universe of chance and indifference. 
We see the divine nature of God and the damage of mankind's sin everywhere in our world (Romans 1:20; Genesis 3; Romans 8:22-25).

There's no "chance" or "indifference" in our God. He even predicted that people like this atheist would "deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed..."  2 Peter 3:3-5

Isn't it wonderful to know our lives are not pointless—and one point of our lives is to point lost souls to the Creator!
