Our church small group is watching Ben Stein and "Expelled". I've always believed. Maybe not always like I should've. But, I've always known God was there/here and that Christ is my Saviour.
In this film, though, it's pointed out exactly how ridiculously unlikely "accidental", "Big Bang" life is. For one, ONE CELL to have life, there must be 250 different proteins in exactly the right order. That's like having 250 slot machines all in play at the same time, and all of them coming up cherries. JUST FOR ONE CELL!! That's a GREAT DEAL to ask of scattered material from an explosion, especially of the magnitude evolutionists speak of. How many cells does it take, each one w/ those 250 slot machines all coming up cherries, to make a human body? Then there's the question of all the different forms of life here w/ all of their slot machines coming up just right for their species.
Then, there's the fact that this gift, Earth, is just the right distance from the sun. A few miles closer, we're too hot. No life (as we know it). A few miles farther away, we're too cold. Our atmosphere is just right to ward off angry sun flares. The oxygen mix is just right. So, instead of being a poisonous gas, it keeps us alive. The soil is (was) just right to grow nutritious veggies, fruits and plant life (for that O2 mix).
There are just too many puzzle pieces that, w/ a little shaved off, a chain reaction of wrongs occur as far as supporting or becoming life.
In my mind, and there's much more than just the simplistic thoughts I've keyed here in my blogosphere, there's simply too much that has to be perfect to be left to chance.
So, in conclusion (finally!), logic says God has to be. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. And where would we be w/out His Grace. Thank goodness He didn't leave that to chance! :-)
