The world is experiencing a very fascinating resurgence in belief among Gen Z and Millennials, and filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, a former atheist-turned-believer, has a new project to help further foster this dynamic. Lewis, director of the new documentary “Universe Designed,” told CBN News about how his past atheism was driven by the fact that many Christians simply couldn’t answer his questions.

He would pose questions like, ‘Well, evolution has disproven Christianity,’ but many Christians weren’t prepared with a good comeback. He would also raise another common objection, such as “If there’s an all-loving God, then there wouldn’t be the existence of evil in the world.’ Finally, he would insist, ‘I can’t believe in a God who would send me to an eternal punishment just because I have trouble believing in Him.’”

With people around him unable or unwilling to answer these objections and questions, the filmmaker said he “gravitated towards atheism” and based his worldview on it. “On top of that, I would watch documentaries. I remember I watched a documentary called ‘Zeitgeist,’ and those documentaries were showing how Christianity wasn’t true and that Jesus was just a myth that was copied by all these other ancient myths.”

But eventually, Lewis said something changed, and he found himself doing a double-take. “It wasn’t until I took a second look at Christianity and dug deeper than just the surface level questions that I really started to discover that there were answers to not only the questions that I was asking, but there were positive arguments for the existence of God,” he said.
