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.
