I was always raised around christians, and thought I was one, but I LOOOOVVVE Science and the more I read into cells stucture, and adaptation, evolution, the big bang...the more I began to doubt. So I devoted a few years into figuring out what was for me. But I found out that evolution can not be said to be absolutely true, theres so little proof for it its rediculous, and most of what we have are skewed or falsified results, THAT I know to be fact. But Adaptation IS a fact. But it is not the same as evolution. Evolution is where species evolve into whole other species...not possible. But in adaptation, you CAN make small changes. For example, a momma snake gives birth to baby snakes of all sorts of colors in the jungle. Randomly, she gives birth to red ones, blue ones, yellow and green ones. As the eagles swoop down and eat the ones they can spot (yellow, blue and red) the ones that are green end up surviving thanks to their camoflauge...they give birth and that green gene is even stronger in the next generation...Thats adaptation. But it is not possible for them to change species.
Anyway, long story short, I was surprised to learn of all the prophecies fullfilled in the scripture. I was likewise surprised to learn of how the the bible described so many scientific facts long before "man" discovered them. For example:
Job 36:27-29
For He draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
And:
Job 26:8
He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
And:
Job 28:25
To establish a weight for the wind,
And apportion the waters by measure. (We didnt know the air had weight back then, ie atmospheric pressure)
Not to mention Mathew Maury found underwater ocean currents just because he read it in the bible First in Psalms 8:8
It comes down to this man:
If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision (as the standard theory states, after the black hole squeezed everything into infinite pressure, just before the rapid expansion called the big bang), then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., Materialism and Astronomy - are mere accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.
The point is: if our thoughts are simply accidental travelings of atoms accidentally colliding, accidentally making energy, accidentally making thoughts, then why arent those thoughts accidental and random and incoherent? Why do they have reason, and emotion? And Im sure we could go into more depth about the chemicals in the brain reacting at certain times with our surroundings....but trust me...Ive put years into this...And I must tell you...Faith is not the same as just believing...believing is something you do when you hear someone tell you a story about what happened in line at the bank...faith is a gift, and now that I know it...I understand why others dont have it. And I have so much compassion for those that dont...I want you to have it, but I cant give it to you, only God can. And I pray he does.
