You Say I Say

You say there is no God. You believe in evolution. You say that all conditions were right for life on Earth. The temperature was right, the oxygen was right, the hydrogen was right. I say where did the temperature come from? Where did the oxygen and the hydrogen come from? You say they came to be when the universe was created by the big bang theory, or possibly the dust bowl theory. You say by chance the Earth landed the exact distance and angle from the Sun so that the conditions were right for life on our planet. Thus, evolution began towards the start of conscious man. I say where did the big bang come from? Where did the ingredients in the dust bowl come from? What started the whole process in motion in the beginning? What created the first circumstance for the very first particle of matter anywhere? What scientific formula can tell you that from nothing, no atoms, no chemicals, no gasses, no reality whatsoever, that the first particle of matter self generated? None, It did not happen. Science and common sense tells us that it had to be created. And it was created by God. You say the Earth and the Universe is very old and took millions of years to evolve. I say it is as old as man took six days to create. You say that science has it all figured out. With all their education and scientific experience nothing is unknown to man. I say that we cannot begin to understand the knowledge and power of God’s plans future and past. For what we think is starting to happen, God has already finished. God was here at the beginning of time, and is at the end of time, at the same time. You say we are a race of advanced animals, with the power to communicate because of a conscience thought process. We will live, reproduce and die. I say we are divine beings, created in God’s likeness, with a soul, and a will of our own. We have been given a gift to choose right from wrong, believe or not to believe in God. You say that after death, there is nothing but non existence and to the food chain we will return. I say because of God’s grace there is a Heaven and a hell. Because God became man, suffered, died and was resurrected, we will have a destiny to fulfill after death. What do you say?
