Theology On Fire: The goal is too spark hunger /  Last week: The Bible – truth or…<br> <br> <br> GOD – Fairytale or Fact: The existence and knowability of God.<br> <br><br> <br> 1. God in creation: A creation cannot create itself.<br> <br><br> <br> Gen. 2:7 [AMP], “Then the Lord God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit].”<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://answersingenesis.org/human-body/from-dust-to-dust/" target="_blank">https://answersingenesis.org/human-body/from-dust-to-dust/</a>: The earth’s crust contains most of the mineral nutrients our body requires. Oxygen is the most abundant element in both the human body and the earth’s crust. The human body is made up almost entirely of 13 elements. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up 96% of our body’s mass. The other 4% of body weight is composed almost entirely of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and iodine.<br> <br><br> <br> <br> <br> It’s so obvious that people have to say we came from stardust with a straight face.<br> <br> <br> Pic. of a stained glass at Saint Peter’s Church in York and the Double Helix of the DNA.<br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br> Fairy tale or Fact?<br> ________________________________<br> 2. The fact that we see amazing creations all around us points to a Creator: from pollination by bees to the placement of the sun and moon – to the human body, DNA, and the birth of a child.<br> <br><br> <br> Romans 1:20 (NKJV), “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse…<br> Logic – Unity – Consistency – Beauty – Purpose –<br> <br> <br> We see that a cataclysmic event occurred where things died rapidly [Flood].<br> <br> <br> Why are seashells found in the Himalayas and the Grand Canyon [Flood].<br> <br> <br> The Grand Canyon’s limestone layer contains tens of millions of fossils with nearly one in seven fossilized standing vertically!<br> <br> <br> Soft tissue found in dinosaur bones.<br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br> Obviously, Someone created all this – There is no excuse.<br> <br><br> <br> Our Conscience is also a witness! (Rom. 2).<br> <br> God’s eternal power is evident – nothing is now being created out of nothing: matter and energy are recycled.<br> The sheer mass of the Universe illustrates His eternal power.<br> <br> I’m a Biblical Creationist<br> <br> <br> I can’t stretch the <a href="https://answersingenesis.org/days-of-creation/could-god-really-have-created-everything-in-six-days/" target="_blank"></a>
