Knowing

The other night Shannon and I watched this movie called "Knowing" with Nicolas Cage. I will be blunt, it was one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen, it was actually kind of disturbing. The reason was because it ultimately attempted to define our purpose here on earth and how life came to be on this planet. Basically the movie claims that we were put here by aliens. What a bunch of nonsense!

I am currently reading the book The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel. Lee Strobel takes the toughest objections to Christianity and attempts to answer them through various interviews with some of the smartest people around. He takes a hard look at the origin of life and tackles some of these ideas, like: life came from aliens, or evolution. Through reading this book, and other research; I have come to the conclusion that it takes more faith to believe in evolution or that life came from aliens than it does to believe that there was a Creator, and not just any Creator, a Creator who loves our souls so much that He gave us the choice to reject Him.

Consider this: When you look at say a shoe, you don't say that the leather, shoe laces, sole all miraculously came together do you? No! You would say someone designed the shoe and put it together. So why would you look at something as complex as a molecule or a cell and say "oh it just miraculously happened?" What about a tree, or an animal. The chances that things would simply come together and life would form is zero. Don't believe me? Read it, do the research yourself. Why would you just believe what you hear from the Discovery Channel, or in the media? Don't you want to know?

One of the great things about our Creator is that He revealed Himself to us, through His creation, and through His Word. We don't have a blind faith! So the next time someone states that the Bible is false and that we evolved from apes, ask that person where the proof is? Just because the Discovery Channel says so isn't good enough.
