I was an atheist who, when I first came to God, did not do it based upon the inerrancy of Scripture, for that I was not sure of. I came to Him as one who might have been in the time of Abraham, before there was any written Scripture, just He and myself. It was as though we were alone in the universe.

I was a young man; far from home.

A flatlander from central Indiana; now in the Air Force in Denver.

After watching a late night movie about the miracles at Lourdes at a local girl's house; I was walking back to the base, mulling over what I'd seen.

"Bunk!", thought I. That kinda stuff don't happen - except in movies.

It was a cold night - fall or maybe early winter. The stars were ablaze in that crisp latenight air.

As I looked up, the thought of evolution came to mind and how it explained how the Big Bang created all of what I was seeing. How the MASSIVE! outburst of energy spewed out all of this matter.

Yeah; that's how it happen, thought I!

Einstein - E=mc² THAT was the ticket!

I was fine, then, walking along. Secure in my knowledge.

Then, in an almost audible voice, these words formed in my mind...

"Where did the ENERGY come from?"

"Where did the ENERGY come from?"

As a fairly good student of math; I knew the equation could be re-written:

m=E/c²

but that didn't help answer The Question...

"Where did the ENERGY come from?"

Thanks for sharing this. What a great line.
