Creation for me seems like the only logical answer for everything.
I don't believe that everything came from nothing.
That right out of the starting block for me suggests that something or
someone has to be eternal. Since our universe is winding down ever so
slowing from everything I have heard suggests that it isn't eternal, it
had a beginning. We date it even if we disagree on how long the universe
has been here we still agree it had a beginning at some point in time.
I tend to think life shows us someone with a plan and purpose is behind
all of the universe since it takes the whole thing to support life from the
grand pieces as stars and planets down to the subatomic levels. So many
things have to be properly setup or it does not happen, to much of this
or to little of that and all bets are off.
If life requires specific material and they are not here, no life.
If life requires specific amounts of said material and those are not present,
no life.
If life requires specific amounts of material, all must get put together in a
specific manner, and that doesn't happen no life.
If life requires....and the list goes on.
There are so many things that have to be met and maintain it isn't funny.
Yet some still believe it could happen without effort by chance given an
endless amount of time that isn't present by most accounts.
I believe in the scripture Grampy Bobby is presenting, even if the two of us
disagree on its meaning we believe the truth is found there.
