How did we get here? Is there a master creator of this world, or did we all come here by chance? Does the universe have a beginning and an end? Does belief in evolution negate belief in God? If you believe in Creationism, does that mean that the world was literally created in six days?  Could the creation of this earth have happened without God?

Since God is invisible, it could be easy to imagine how the world came about on its own, but when you look at the complexity and ingenuity of everything around us, it’s obvious to me that there was a great intelligent power behind it all. It’s like looking at the manufacturing process of a car. Could the frame, engine, drive train, radiator etc. all harmoniously have come together without a grand design and still run? Not likely – the system is too complex to fit together without a plan. Just because you don’t see the creator behind the process, certainly does not mean that they never existed. If you look, you see traces of the grand designer. Similar patterns and commonalities exist cross species. And what about mankind? Do we not create? Is that yet another connection that we have with God? Although God’s creations are perfect, and mankind’s are flawed. We look at cell phones, refrigerators, airplanes and believe they all had an inventor that created them. How much of a leap of faith then to believe that our world also has an inventor?
