I was raised without going to church. My parents never discussed God at all. I found Him in my late teens, and I never looked back. The historical evidence for the Bible is insurmountable. I remember there was a time when atheists argued that Jesus Christ never even existed. Of course, they’ve backed down on that now, as even non-Christians wrote about His presence and crucifixion.
I’m no fan of mathematics, but it is an often overlooked science when it comes to faith. For all the changing fads of astronomical and evolutionary theory, math remains pretty consistent and has concluded that spontaneous life is a mathematical impossibility. There is an old analogy about an explosion in a printing factory resulting in a complete copy of the dictionary. Life could not have occurred, especially in the time scientists conclude Earth has existed. The only explanation is design, and while I find those ‘Ancient Astronaut’ theories interesting, centuries of people did not pray, martyr themselves, obey moral codes .etc. for an asteroid or an alien. They did those things for a man who was not a man. A divine being who gave everything to free us from the evil in man’s heart through Him and through His forgiveness.
Yes.
The older I get the more I marvel at the complexity of The universe and in particular ,life.
How could something such as the mitral valve in our hearts 'evolve'?
Even more basic.
Let's say an organism somehow rises out of the primordial soup.
It has to multiply. At some point male/female.
Wouldn't not only a male whatchacallit have to be viable but also a female.?And the ensuing mating of egg/sperm, The spiral helix somehow uniting. Really
What are the chances? astronomical.
