What We Do Not See We Believe

We believe in many things today even though we do not see them. Now is that not a form of faith? Some people believe ghosts exist. Some people believe hags exist. Some men believe in theories, such as the theory of evolution.

What is a theory?

Theory – A beholding, spectacle, contemplation, speculation. A spectator. 1. A doctrine, or scheme of things, which terminates in speculation or contemplation, without a view to practice; hypothesis; speculation.

Someone finds a house in the wilderness with no evidence of man ever being there. Why can we not theorize that there was a big bang in the forest, and as a result of that the house was formed? Furthermore, you can say to everyone it was a beautiful explosion.  The explosion was a wonderful accident, that is how that house came to be.

Instead, we say without question, without a doubt, that man built that house. Well, long ago the book the bible said, “For every house is built by some man; but built all things is God.” (Heb. 3:4)

I know some folks have a problem with that. However, who can believe that God made the tiny atom or the mustard seed. Yet, the bible says, “But he who built all things is God.” On the other hand, some men believe that there was a big bang, and because of the big bang all that we see is the direct result of it.

There are no eye-witnesses to the big bang theory, yet we are to believe that all of the intelligence that had to be employed to create our universe was by an accident. However, man refuse to believe, that an explosion in the forest can produce a log cabin. However, Moses long ago had an opportunity to speak to the creator face to face. Moses was told, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

The bible does not give credit to an explosion as the creator of “the heavens and the earth. Neither does man to give credit to an explosion in a forest as the builder of a log cabin.

When a man looks at a log cabin he sees a designer. Now why does man to see a designer or a planner? Man sees a designer or planner because a log cabin is the result of someone’s design or plan.
 
Nevertheless, it is not so with our universe according to man. They want us to believe that it takes intelligence to build a log cabin, and that an explosion in the forest will not produce a log cabin.

If an explosion can produce our universe with all of it’s complexity, then an explosion in the forest can produce a log cabin.

However, on the other hand, it is okay to believe that our universe, and our earth is the result of a big bang.

Does it not take more faith to believe in the theory of evolution? Does it not take less faith to believe in God based on all of the evidence that we have in the design of our universe?

Who discovered that the earth was round instead of flat?

Isaiah 40:22, “It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth.” How did Isaiah know in 700 B.C.? The earth is round? The scientists of Isaiah’s day thought the earth was flat. They didn’t discover the earth is round until the early 1500s when Magellan sailed around the world. How did Isaiah know something over 2000 years ahead of science?

When did men discover that it could be day and night at the same time?

Luke 17:30, “Even thus shall it be IN THE DAY when the son of man is revealed. (vs 31) IN THAT DAY . . . (vs 34) I tell you, IN THAT NIGHT . . . ” How did Luke know something that the scientists didn’t know until the 16th century?

When was the earth discovered to be “hanging upon nothing”?

Job 26:7, “. . . and hanging the earth upon NOTHING.” During the time of Job, it was believed a god named Atlas held the earth on his shoulders! How did Job know something that was impossible to know during his day?

What other books predate science, and contain information that would be discovered by scientist hundreds of years later? None!

Is it possible the bible itself is the result of the big bang too? The bible is full of higher intelligence, without a doubt.

    more ID? pseudo science based on paleys watch. i find your answers to be speculative at best. it takes no faith at all to believe evolution because we have evidence. a circle could be flat and round. the quotes about day and night are just foolish. you dont actually know what these passages mean. your whole argument seems to me to be spurious and a distortion of the facts forced to support your own beliefs. beleiving in things without evidence is not something to be commended is it?

    I never met Moses just like millions of people that believe the teaching of the bible. I never met Alexander the Great however, I believe Alexander the Great did many great works. Just saying it takes no faith does not make it so. Question: Were you there?
    Also, where in the world are all of those missing fossils that are necessary to prove your ancestors were bacteria?

    cannot be sold. the big bang is in our heads, we explode with beliefs and conclusions and defend and defeat in their name.

    what you believe is your status in the cosmos. when you use rational deduction to prove it, you are as eroneous as any concept requireing faith because answers do not exist. only faith in what you embrace.

    in this day, the minds of man are strongly tuned to beliefs that justify their actions in living. to attempt to awaken a man in spirit would mean overthrow all he embraces. let him go. he has made his choice.
