It boggles the human mind, to ponder anything like the Big Bang.

I have been privileged to spend most of my adult life working outdoors in isolated rural areas. Anyone who has ever seen a luna moth (or any one of a million other spectacular creatures) cannot question the authority of a divine Creator, unless he is an enervated blockhead.

There was a flock of wild turkeys foraging in one of the fields next to our house this morning. I watched them for a while before driving to work. I refuse to believe that turkeys are accidental, random occurences. Or that I am.

I am sipping a delightful Pinot Noir, with deep, charactful flavor. Is this not proof that God loves me, and wants me to be happy? Why would he reveal to me orchids, clouds, flying fish, and the love of my beautiful wife, if not to illustrate his divine majesty?

It is a sorry man who does not view God in everything he sees.

I could not agree more. Lee Strobel has written an excellent overview, "The Case for a Creator." It shows how science itself is steadily nailing the lid on atheism's coffin and--discovering, behind a universe of breathtaking design, a Designer who infuses it with equally magnificent purpose (quoted from the jacket cover).

Argument from incredulity, or argument from wishful thinking?
