You Expect
Me to Believe That?
- In the beginning there was nothing. And suddenly for no reason nothing exploded and created everything. You expect me to believe that?
- At some point, by chance the right chemicals happened to float together at just the right moment to be struck by an electrical charge and become life. You expect me to believe that?
- Somewhere two non-human mothers each gave birth to a human child. They were born at the same time and in the place, one was male and one was female. These two new “humans” gave birth to the human race. You expect me to believe that?
- One of the descendants of these first humans was born with a knowledge of right and wrong. No longer driven by instinct, this person suddenly was making decisions based on a morality for which there is no real explanation. You expect me to believe that?
I’m
sorry. I don’t have that much blind faith. It’s all just too
farfetched to be anything more than a fairy tale. I can’t believe
intelligent people claim it is “science” (cf. 1 Timothy 6:20).
“In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
I can believe that without stretching my imagination into the realm
of the impossible. The universe was created by all-powerful,
all-knowing God. That I can believe!
