Is
there a God? Is there proof that God exists? If
your answer is no, then many Christians could learn allot from you.
You see, you are what every Christian strives to be. A "Faith Filled
Believer". It is by faith that a Christian is supposed to live their life,
and it takes more faith to believe as you do, that God doesn't exist, than
to believe that he does.
Before you scoff at that
statement, think about it for a moment. As opposed to God creating the earth
and everything on it, you believe in a "Big Bang" theory. That gases and
different things came together and created this huge explosion that led to
everything we now know?
At about this time,
someone usually says: "Ok, who created God?" I usually reply: "Let's leave
God out of this, you don't believe in God, remember?" Then I ask: "Ok, who
created the gases that caused the great explosion?" Where did they come
from? (you believe in those)
Though the theory of
evolution has gained allot of popularity, I must remind you that the person
who gave birth to this theory (Darwin) himself said that it is only a
theory. (check your history books)
It takes great faith to
believe in the theory of evolution, since there is no real or scientific
proof whatsoever, that any species on earth has ever changed from one
species into another species. You can search, but the proof doesn't exist.
The missing link is
exactly what it says it is! "Missing!" Far be it for me to shake anyone's
faith, but let me give you something to think about. (if you will) What do
you think are the odds of gasses (forget about who created the gasses for a
moment) coming together randomly, then causing an explosion.
Which in turn creates this
planet, that orbits around the sun with a stunning mathematical precision
that is able to sustain life as we know it. Not to mention the moon and
other celestial bodies that move with an equally mathematical precision,
that if you altered any one of these from their course, it could cause the
extinction of every living thing on earth. A very delicate balance.
Before I ask you again,
what are the odds of that, lets go even farther. Now with all the planets in
place in a very precise manor, what are the odds that the same random
explosion caused a life to form? Any life! Lets just pick one. How about "a
cow?"
You have to admit, that
takes allot of faith. But not only did a cow somehow come into being, the
real miracle is, what sex was it and how did it reproduce? (reproduction,
there's another miracle) Obviously, the same explosion randomly created a
second cow of the opposite sex for it to mate with.
But the "Real Miracle" is,
this planet is not inhabited by just cows! There are thousands if not
millions of randomly formed species (humans, animals, fish, insects etc..)
on the earth, according to this particular belief.
I'm sure you would argue
that everything evolved from some lower form of life, caused by an
explosion, caused by gasses that shouldn't have existed anyway. (Darwin
again) But I have to say again, show me some scientific proof that any life
form on earth has at any time, changed from one species to another.
The big question here is:
"If this all started from an amoeba or something, why is there nothing in
between right now? If we do in fact evolve, where is everything in between?
After all, amoebas still exist today don't they? I mean, if we still have
the beginning species and the end species, (us) where is everything in
between? It should still be living in a transitional state.
If you truly believe that
God does not exist, then you have the greatest faith I have ever seen. You
need to find a way to market that and sell it to Christians. After all, if
they will send their hard earned cash to some of the ridicules TV
ministries, "you" would get rich beyond your dreams.
Don't get me wrong. The
humongous Christian movement that you see on television and in most of your
local churches is not at all what Jesus intended for his church to be. They
are not trying to convert you to be more Christ like, but more like "them".
Frankly, I can see why people would run away from that! And God.
THE MAGIC ATOM
I
was watching the science channel and the theme was the "Creation of the
Universe". Before I relay what was said, let me point out that this
information was originally presented by the greatest scientific minds on
earth and in history.
Let me also point out that
this information was not presented as a theory, but stated as "Matter of
Fact" and "The way it is". Brace yourselves, here goes:
According to this
documentary on the science channel, Billions of years ago, (they gave an
exact amount) an Atom appeared from nothing! (you heard me correctly) This
atom then either exploded or expanded Two Billion, Billion times to the size
of a softball. The rest is the same or similar to everything that is written
above.
At this point I was simply
staring blankly at the television while saying: "duh . . What???" (as I hold
up a finger) Does this bare a striking similarity to the children's story
"The emperor has no clothes"?
Sorry, that's it! An atom
appeared from nothing and everything you see today was the result. Instead
of teaching "intelligent Design" in the public schools, "this" is what it
has been replaced with. (The Magic Atom) Because of this so called "fact",
our children are not allowed to pray or read their bible in the public
school system?
If some of the most
intelligent minds in history don't believe in "intelligent design", what do
we call this discovery? "Un-intelligent design"? It would seem to fit since
there were no facts used to promote their discovery.
Wake up people! Your
rights are being stripped from you every day, by allot of people who seem to
be just making up their own facts as they go along, and convincing others to
go along with what they invent.
Fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom, not fear of your college professor.
WHY YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE
Have you ever for a
moment, stopped and asked yourself why you believe as you do? I know many
young people that will passionately argue that there is no God. When I ask:
"where did you get your information?", it almost always boils down to "from
a teacher in the public school system". (your tax dollars at work!)
So, with my awesome
computer like brain, I can't help but wonder to myself, how this teacher,
who is only separated from the student by another year or two of public
school and a couple years of college, is privileged to the secrets of the
universe. (Wow)
So I asked myself, where
did the teacher get this awesome information? From their professors at
college of course. Here's the funny part! If you go to a professor of
Literature at any college and ask him a question about physics, he will tell
you: "I'm not really qualified to answer your question. You need to talk to
the Physics professor down the hall.
Now ask the same professor
a question about God. Instead of telling you that he is not qualified, he'll
vigorously tell you just how it is, then probably passionately argue his
point if you don't agree with him.
The school system does not
reward free and independent thinkers. I encourage young people to be
independent. Think for yourself. Use the free will that God gave to you.
Don't just mindlessly repeat the statements and questions that have been
programmed into you by some teacher that is only slightly more qualified
than you are.
Ask your own questions and
seek the "honest" truth, not just what you've been programmed to believe.
Ask why you believe the way you do, then put it to the test.
Does God exist? Show me a
better theory and I will consider it. Also, find out what the true message
of Jesus Christ is before you condemn it. You can find that here at Power of
Faith Ministries.
The bottom line is, If you
believe in those odds, and if you believe those odds are reasonable,
probable or possible, stay away from Las Vegas! Whatever you do.
