ShadowWolf The idea that science and faith are somehow separate is a false idea. Science is based on faith. You simply accept what it says because you have faith in it. It can not prove anything it says. We can observe the universe and how it works but when we get to basic facts about it we have to take it on faith.
Come let us reason together.
Option !: There was nothing. Nothing existed for a very very long time. Suddenly for no reason whatsoever nothing exploded and became everything. Some time later bits of everything again for no reason whatsoever got together and made dinosaurs.
Option 2: Over a chaos of potentials the Great I AM spoke into order separating light from dark, Day from night. Void from matter, Wet from dry, Life from non life. Going farther the Great I AM formed plants and animals of every kind on the tiny planet He specially designed to support life. HE then made a special creature that would rule over the earth and all that is in it. This special creature HE gave the ability to know or reject Him. On this tiny little planet circling a nondescript sun on the outer arm or a nondescript galaxy is the metaphorical center of the universe. For only on this planet does the Spirit meet the physical as the I AM's children go to school in the form of humans. Not all humans are His Children, But those He has made known His Name He get the right to be Sons of Yahweh.
One world view is little more that random atoms unknowingly and purposelessly bumping into each other.
The other has the creation partaking in the Creator who lovingly and sacrificially gave of Himself Life and purpose for being.
One holds that mankind is weed on the face of the earth and should be eliminated/ The other holds that Mankind is a special creation that is working its way toward becoming divine.
Having once been a firm believer in option one I came to realize that option one is null and void. Even my loftiest thoughts were of no benefit. As it is written "Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we may die". I came to reject that position. It was completely inconsistent in itself. There simply was too much evidence of a Creator. Thus one evening on the lonely windswept prairie I knelt by a small white rock and met the Lord of the Universe. He gave me a new life and a new existence and suddenly the Bible made perfect sense. It was no longer just a book of funny stories. It was the Holy Scriptures given to me to guide and correct me as I lived my changed life. If you are debating whether to take the Bible literally or not you have no relationship with the One who inspired the Prophets and men of old as they were moved by the Spirit of God.
