    The first day of school in 8th grade, I walked into my science class and Mr. Davis told everyone to get a sheet of paper to write on. The assignment was to write about the creation of the universe, Mr.Davis along with my Principal would be reading our papers to see our writing abilities at the beginning of the year, and then we would write the same paper at the end of the year to compare them. We had three options--the Big Bang Theory, The Oscillating Universe Theory, or The Accelerating Universe Theory... None of which, I believe in. I sat in my chair, staring at the blank sheet of paper, not knowing what to write.…

    As the movie reached its climax at the end of the third debate, many of the students acknowledged that God was not dead. Wheaton uses a quote from Lee Strobel about the evolution of living by Georges Lemaitre describing how the big bang corresponds to “let there be light” in Genesis 1:3, to prove god`s existence. He begins to prove his statement by agreeing to Atheists that say no one can prove the existence of God. He then stands up for his opinions and says that no one can disprove that God exists. He proves his statement by explaining how people began to believe that the universe began 13.7 billon years ago, although there was no most now agree that the universe began some 13.7 billion years ago in an event known as the big bang.…

    Reading though this book, it was clear to see that Joe Boot had had some pretty important influences in his life that would have impacted the way he went about writing this book. It was the influence of Cornelius Van Til that this book came about. He wrote a lecture called “Why I believe in God” which is where the title of this book comes from, “Why I still believe.” Which comes from the idea that with all the things that Boot would have encountered in his life he chose to still believe in God and follow his ways instead of the ways of the world around him. Meaning that he would have read his Bible day after day and was aware of the positive consequences that would have come with that and the influences as well.…

    Many people believe in God because they believe they have seen a vision of him, or of an angel or a virgin in blue with their own eyes, or he speaks to them inside their heads. This may appear a convincing argument from personal experience but is least convincing to anyone knowledgeable about psychology. Peter Sutcliff, the Yorkshire Ripper, distinctly heard the voice of Jesus, telling him to kill women. Many mass murderers have heard orders from God to commit murder.…

    Last autumn I found myself among the mountains of Tibet, wandering through the high desert created by the rain shadow of the mighty Himalayas, looking up at the cascade of unblinking stars that stretched across the night sky. The stars, in their steady glow, revealed a rather strange sight that I could best describe as being both disturbing and fascinating at the same time. It felt like they were giving me an exclusive window to look at the inner workings of the world and everything in it. According to the scientific community, the universe began its "life" roughly 14 billion years ago when space, time and even the atoms in our bodies formed in less than a blink of an eye.…

This is the social construction of reality, truth, and meaning that are products of an ongoing social process of experience, interpretation, and institutionalization” (Denton).

    In two thousand nine, two year old Kent Schaible died from pneumonia. Just three years later Kent’s brother Brendon died when he was only eight months old from diarrhea, vomiting, and breathing issues that lasted for more than a week. The untimely deaths of these brothers were the consequences of their parent’s decision to choose faith healing over seeking medical attention. This is just one example of a case in which faith healing resulted in the death of a juvenile. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, faith healing is “a method of treating diseases by prayer and exercise of faith in God.”…

    One’s faith is dictated by believing in God but in some cases like the Christians have, believing that Christ revealed God through the Catholic Church and the body of Christ is united in the Holy Spirit. The word “believing” in the statement above means that our God wants us to partake in His divine life. Faith is one of the most evident replies we can give to God as a sign that we are his disciples and accept Him as our one and only Lord and Saviour. It is when we knock in his door that he says, “Please come in!” Yes, I do think that we believers of God must possess a certain type of dedication that we must change in order for us to live by His words and follow Him.…
