Thousands download movie that supposedly proves God exists

Thousands have already purchased digital copies of "The Atheist Delusion" just days after its release. Movie producers say the film proves to atheists that God exists.

The movie, executive produced by TV co-host and author Ray Comfort, will be released on YouTube in two months.

"Just a few years ago atheism was entering the Promised Land. Books by new atheists such as Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris were topping the New York Times Best Seller list," Comfort said. "However, the landscape seems to have drastically changed. Hitchens has sadly passed away, Dawkins has suffered a stroke, and Harris has fallen from favor after being accused of racism and bigotry."

"And the much anticipated 2016 Reason Rally, which organizers expected would draw 30,000 atheists to Washington, D.C., managed to attract a mere 2,000, by some atheist estimates," Comfort said.

He said atheists have argued their case in public and it was dismissed because it lacked evidence.

"People have more sense of reason than atheists give them credit for," he said.

"The Atheist Delusion" is described by the makers as "having to prove the existence of God to an atheist is like having to prove the existence of the sun, at noon on a clear day."

The film, they said, "pulls back the curtain and reveals what is going on in the mind of those who deny the obvious. It introduces you to a number of atheists who you will follow as they go where the evidence leads, find a roadblock, and enter into a place of honesty that is rarely seen on film."

Comfort claims that the film is the last nail in the coffin for atheism.

"The atheist's pretense is over. The movie provides irrefutable scientific proof of the Creator for those who will listen," he said.

Among those who have endorsed the documentary are actor Kirk Cameron, Ken Ham of Ark Encounter and Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association.

"Classic Comfort mixed with high-resolution logic, breath-taking creation, topped off with quality humor and compassionate gospel interviews. Ray has taken his message to a new level...I've never been so proud of my friend Ray's work. Show it to everyone you know, especially your teens," said Cameron.
