The Reason Series Analysis

Segment one of The Reason Series exposed me to the reality that everyone sees God and science in different ways. It reminded me that there will be people in the world that tell you to choose between God and science. That is not the case. You do not need to choose one or the other. People try to disprove the existence of God all the time. But disproving something is a lot harder than proving something. Science cannot prove that God isn’t real because science can only prove things in our universe and God isn’t in our universe. One thing that really spoke to me in the video was that nothing can come from nothing, and the universe had to have a beginning. After watching this video, I still struggle to fully understand that God has been and will …show more content…
It taught me that you either look at everything and see a miracle or see nothing. It took us back to segment one when we learned that nothing can come from nothing, so our universe had to have a beginning. Throughout the segment, it continually answered questions and contradictions that would arise. This proved to me that there are answers for everything that works in the favor of both theology and science. Segment two also introduced me to the idea that both space and time are expanding. The BVG theorem taught me that the universe expands more than it contracts in its lifetime. Meaning, the universe can be eternal into the future but not into the past. Again, this had me thinking about how God is infinite and out universe had to have some sort of beginning. Overall, this segment answered the few questions I had and taught me that inflation without a beginning is …show more content…
It taught me that some people do not believe in evolution because they think the Bible is giving literal truths and that it contradicts the Bible. Again, we learned that science, or evolution in this case, does not contradict the Bible because the Bible is seeking and exploring theology, not science. One thing I do not completely understand yet is how nonliving things become living things, unconscious things become conscious things, and living things become humans that have a relationship with God. Although that confused me, I was amazed to learn why evolution can’t account for our souls. Evolution is a physical, material process, while the soul is a spiritual reality and outside our body, thus evolution can’t account for our souls. This led to the topic of near death experiences, which gave more proof of the existence of human souls. Near death experiences proved the existence of human souls because they do not have a physical or biological origin; People are no longer afraid of death afterwards and are able to see things they wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was really interesting to learn these stories, facts, and evidence of near death experiences because up until now, I thought near death experiences were just events in movies, not real life experiences. Overall, I learned that it is logical that God exists and that we have both a divine and eternal purpose, because of our soul that will
