    “In the Beginning”… You Weren’t There

    “In the Beginning”… You Weren’t There

    According to Lawrence Krauss, the author of “A Universe From Nothing”, and many other bestselling books on Physics and Cosmology, the universe began from nothing. The universe being flat, and about 13.7 billions years old, is made up of 30 percent dark matter and 70 percent dark energy. Mr. Krauss says that if we subtract everything in the universe that is visible, including all human life, the Cosmos will not change at all.

    In his opinion, this tells us that human beings are “even more insignificant than any of us ever imagined.”

    In his famous Youtube video on the universe originating from nothing, Mr. Krauss states: “We are completely irrelevant. Why such a universe would be made for us when we are so irrelevant, is beyond me…”

    Origin of the Universe, Which One Takes More Faith?

    Origin of the Universe, Which One Takes More Faith?

    Atheists often criticize Christians in that they formerly believed that the Sun orbited the earth, prior to the 19th century. Until the recent past, Atheists believed that the universe was eternal, that it has always exited and always will exist.

    Today, scientists understand that the Universe had a finite beginning, and eventually it will have an ending.

    This leaves us with only two legitimate and logical explanations for the origin of the universe:

    Someone created the universe.
    The Universe created itself.
    Which of these two possibilities are more logical?

    Let us imagine that the universe arose out of some spontaneous uncontrolled mechanism, whereby it eventually developed, over billions of years of course, into all the life forms that we see present today.

    So, we would say: “In the beginning, there was nothing, then it exploded, and became everything that we can see, and everything that we cannot see…”

    Or, “In the beginning God created the universe…”

    Which of these takes more faith?

    Internal Proof of the Bible’s Authenticity

    Internal Proof of the Bible’s Authenticity

    The internal structure of the gospels, proves their authenticity.

    It is the contention of Atheists and Bible skeptics, that the Christians accounts of Jesus Christ, found in the four gospels are “fabrications”. Some acknowledge that a man called Jesus did live about 2,000 years ago, but there was nothing remarkable, nor miraculous about his life. Others would have us re-write the entire history of man for the past 2,000 years, claiming that there never was a person called Jesus Christ.

    When I read many of the comments made by Atheist’s, I wonder if the people who write these negative comments have actually read and studied the new testament gospels. I wonder if those who write such words have considered the fact that the single life of Jesus Christ has shaped and changed the thinking of the entire world? If He did not exist, and if He is not who He claimed to be, then how is it that He has exercised such tremendous influence upon every facet of human life?

    Just as we know that a person has been in a room, by dusting that room for their fingerprints, when we search the four corners of the earth, we find the fingerprints of Jesus Christ everywhere we look.

    The Historical Reliability of the Bible

    The Historical Reliability of the Bible

    This month, I have been reading and reviewing several books by leading scholars, on the subject of the reliability of the Bible, as a historical document. As I make comments in my reviews, I often have an opportunity to write an opposing view to Atheist readers and skeptics of the Bible.

    The following is an article that I wrote today, in response to criticism that the new testament is not a reliable historical document, because it is of religious nature.

    The new testament stands alone as a valid, reliable, historical document. It is laughable that the new testament is rejected by so many, strictly because it is a Christian document and of religious origin. That is to say, “You really cannot trust those Christians you know, they don’t know how to write good eye witness testimony, nor can they keep reliable records.”

    The facts is that the new testament scriptures would be held as credible and reliable evidence, according to the rules for evidence by the great history of the legal profession.

    What makes an ancient document valid and reliable?

    Reasonable Answers For the Existence of God

    Reasonable Answers For the Existence of God

    One of the barriers for many in believing that God exists, that the Bible is true, or that the God created the universe, are some very good questions that remain unanswered.

    For many others who claim to not believe in God, unbelief is a matter of the will, not the lack of sufficient evidence. For a minority of those who are sincerely seeking truth, these genuinely want to know if God exists, but have not found reasonable answers to their questions. Some of those questions that are obstacles to a belief in God, have nothing to do with evidence, but are those perceived contradictions perceived in the mind of those with doubts.

    Some of these barriers to belief, are question such as: “How evil could exist, as it does in the world”, if there is an all powerful God?” “If God truly loves human beings as is claimed, why does he allow so much human suffering?” “How could there be a God who truly cares about us, yet allows evil men to carry out their brutal and cruel acts?” “Why do so many bad things happen to so many good people?”
