Tim Keller at Google Video
September 11th 2008 08:28 am
Google invite special guest speakers along to their campus occasionally to talk about anything and everything for about an hour. Recently an American pastor/author called Tim Keller went and spoke about his new book The Reasons for God. Apparently he managed to get the biggest audience Google have had for a talk and listening to it I can see why.
I highly recommend that you go and watch it at The Resurgance. It is about an hour long and you can probably skip the questions and answers session at the end as that wasn’t quite so good (a bunch of geeky Google employees try and trip him up).
My favourite bit is when he likenened God to Shakespeare. Here is my paraphrased version of what he said:
Expecting God to give us proof of His existence is like Hamlet looking for proof of Shakepeare’s existence in his play. Unless Shakespeare wrote some kind of proof into the play it won’t be there.
God did more than just write proof into His play though. He wrote Himself into it: Jesus!
