The police boldly claim that there was a passing storm which caused hailstones and minor tornadoes. A hailstone broke your window and a minor tornado sucked the cellphone out of your car.

Incredulous, you exclaim: "How come none of the other cars were damaged? I didn't hear any wind or hail when I was in the mall just a few feet away!" The police counter: "We have measured the relative humidity of the air in your car and found it to be higher than the humidity of the outside air. This means the hailstones that broke your car window melted and evaporated in your car and raised the humidity." You protest: "That's flimsy evidence! Any number of things can explain higher humidity in my car!"

The police refuse to investigate and insist that natural causes, not a thief, resulted in your missing cellphone. Would you be satisfied with that explanation? I think not. All of the evidence at the scene of the incident including the broken car window and the missing cellphone point to the fact that an intelligent being, in this case a thief, was the causal agent.

In a similar way our education elite ignore the evidence of design in biology and cling to belief in random natural forces as the cause of life. They offer flimsy evidence in the form of comparative anatomy and insist that random natural forces brought life into existence. They refuse to consider God as creator.

In the 1800s, when scientists thought living things were relatively simple, such reasoning was understandable. Darwin and Haeckel thought living cells were simply little dots or bags. Scientists now know that a single-celled organism must regulate over one trillion chemical reactions per second. Even a virus (a virus is smaller than a bacteria) may have over 9 million chemical base pairs in its DNA. Does anyone who has considered the facts really believe that single-celled organisms (and hence all of life) formed by random processes?

Even Sir Frederick Hoyle, prominent astronomer, said that a living cell could not form by chance anywhere in the universe in 20 billion years! The impossibility of life coming from nonlife is the 500 pound gorilla that most evolutionists refuse to wrestle. For the sake of their souls they must wrestle with the facts and come to believe in God.

Steps to salvation: Jesus said "Ye must be born again." (John 3:7)

1. Believe that God created you and loves you and sent the Messiah (Messiah is Hebrew for Christ) to redeem you.
2. Believe that Jesus the Messiah came in fulfillment of over 300 Bible prophecies to die for you to take upon Himself the penalty for your sins. (Isaiah 53:5-6, John 6:29, Romans 4:5, First Peter 3:18)
3. Turn from sin and call on the name of Jesus to receive forgiveness. (Romans 10:13)
4. Receive Jesus as Savior and experience the new birth. (John 1:12, Acts 2:38)
5. Follow Him as Lord. (John 14:21)

"Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13)

To receive the salvation that Jesus purchased for us at the terrible cost of His suffering and death on our behalf I invite you to pray this simple prayer:

"Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus, the promised Messiah, to die for my sins. I admit that I am a sinner and I ask for your forgiveness on the basis of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit to empower me to serve you under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, Amen."

If you prayed that prayer in the humble sincerity of your heart then you have received everlasting life, which includes power to live right in this life and entrance into heaven in the afterlife!

DEFENDING THE FAITH APOLOGETIC ARTICLES Bill Nugent currently writes a series of articles called "Defending the Faith" which, as the title suggests, defend the Christian faith from the many attacks leveled against it in our postmodern world.
