For The Skeptics
The whole concept of whether there is a God or not, or if the Bible is true or not, or if Jesus is more than just a good man - is really dependent on one's willingness to believe by God-given faith. It would be impossible to "prove" that God exists. Can we prove that the wind exists? We can feel it, but cannot see it. We can see the damage it produces, but we cannot measure it, but in the most simplistic way. If one only stops to think - it would take Someone of incredible intelligence and foresight to create and bring into being all that we see, hear, smell, touch, and taste. For instance, God has given to us, all creation, the most wonderful and unique display of intricate, impossible combinations to reveal that He is the Master Creator of the Universe. Scientists want us to believe that this earth evolved from an explosion that just happened out in space somewhere. This defys what we see in nature as well as in the human body. The human eye for example, is such an incredible piece of technology, man cannot reproduce it. The eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings, the focusing muscles move an estimated 100,000 times a day, and the retina contains 137,000,000 light sensitive cells. Charles Darwin said."To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." If man cannot begin to make a human eye, how could anyone in his right mind think that eyes were formed by mere chance? In fact, man cannot make anything from nothing. We don't know how to do it. We can re-create, reform, develop...but we cannot create even one grain of sand from nothing. Yet, the eye is only a small part of the most sophisticated part of creation - the human body. George Gallup, the famous statistician said, "I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity". Albert Einstein said, "Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble". The Bible is compromised of 66 books written by 40+ authors who penned it over a 1,500 year period, yet it was blended and defined with each addition over the centuries to complete a picture of history unequalled by any other. No other "Book" has sold more copies in the history of man and no other Book has changed the course of history or the course of life like it has. Of all the religions the world has believed in, God is the only One who sent His Only Son, to earth to be born as a human being. The Creator of the Universe, God, is the only God who loved the world so much that He sent His Only Son, Jesus, to die for us. This same God is the only God of all the religions, ever, Who desires us to love Him and to have a relationship with Him. That total theology is foreign to every other religion. To those who doubt God's existence, His Word, and His Son - this truth: the testimony of those who believe in Him, know Him, and love Him - whose lives have been changed forever, believing and trusting in the impossible.
