Those who believe that the universe just happened along also have some other interesting beliefs. They believe that blind luck provides all of our needs, nurturing us from nothingness to our present state of perception. That Earth's atmosphere provides the right mixture of gasses for our respiration at a convenient pressure while simultaneously blocking the showers of deadly cosmic radiation, watering our crops, and allowing a transparent window to the starry heavens was fortunate, they believe. Are there other examples of luck in nature? How many could a child come up with? The precise methods of science, particularly statistical and thermal physics, teach us that the life we observe is the most unlikely of all events in the known universe, that is, if we only assume purely natural outcomes. The logical conclusion would be that our state of existence is not a purely natural result. The supernatural realm must therefore be a causal factor, and thus the most likely of all possibilities. We would be assured of this fact if we applied our logic to the available data, but remarkably, most of us insist that the universe simply poofed into being. It didn't. Just as remarkable is the common belief that those who question Lucky-the-nature-god also hate rain forests, homosexuals, and scientists. They don't. God created the universe. He left his indelible mark on all that we observe. In addition, we have overwhelming evidence from multiple corroborating sources that supports belief in God, many of which are listed in the pages of this website. That Jesus the Messiah is our Creator is the most logical conclusion that fits the summed, aggregate evidence. The number of people that reach this conclusion, however, is in constant decline and it is expected that this trend will continue in spite of the overwhelming avalanche of scientific evidence to the contrary. |
