If this tree didn’t fall all by itself, then there’s got to be a God
If I told you that the tree in the picture in this blog post fell all by itself, would you believe me? Then why do you believe people when they say that the universe formed all by itself? I saw … Continue reading

If a puppet cannot animate itself without a puppeteer — if trillions of years of time and chance cannot create a highly-intelligent, free-thinking, self-animating puppet — then how can a person exist without a Creator?

Would Chance Produce These Words? Or This? mbvpp[s fji03 n jfn9a- JFJ

News Flash: Planet Earth invaded by its Creator, not with the force of justice and judgment; but with mercy, love, humility. The Creator comes in human flesh, not in a royal palace, but in an animal stable — not with a demonstration of His power and authority, but subject to the circumstances of a Babe born under questionable conditions to a poor mother. Yet 20 centuries later, the world slows down, work stops, families gather on the day set aside to remember that God invasion. One Babe began a movement that continues to our time — a movement that has made millions of men and women better than they would have been without beholding the Christ. Transformed by Jesus, by God in the flesh — made new, set free, personally invaded by the Spirit, now rejoicing, not in stuff, and tinsel, and traditions both religious and secular; but rejoicing in relationship with the Babe, now the Lord, Savior, Master!

What is wrong with believing that the Universe has a Creator–an intelligent designer–that it didn’t just happen as a result of time, chance, and “natural processes”? Why is the idea of a personal Creator considered “unscientific,” “religious,” “out dated,” or … Continue reading
