The Basis For Faith In God How did we (mankind) get here? It is either by accident or design. There is NO middle ground!

The Basis For Faith In God The “teleological” argument. A watch implies a watchmaker. Creation implies a Creator. Ps. 19:1-3; Rom. 1:20; Acts 14:17 Creation is perfectly balanced.

The Basis For Faith In God The “philosophical” argument.

The Basis For Faith In God The “consciousness” argument. “The problem of consciousness tends to embarrass biologists. Taking it to be an aspect of living things, they feel they should know about it and be able to tell physicists about it, whereas they have nothing relevant to say.” (George Wald, The Cosmology of Life & Mind)

The Basis For Faith In God The “consciousness” argument. “The position of mind in nature remains a total mystery. It could be that there exists some sort of a cosmic mind, perhaps co-equal with the material universe itself, from which each of our individual minds stems and to which each ultimately returns.” (John Beloff, The Brain Mind Problem) Gen. 2:7

The Basis For Faith In God The nature of biblical faith. It is not “blind,” but based on evidence. However, aspects of it cannot be absolutely proven (Heaven, 2nd Coming, Judgment). It is based on the overall accuracy & reliability of the Bible.

The Basis For Faith In God Pre-scientific Statements. The earth is a sphere. Prov. 8:27; Isa 40:22 The universe is expanding. Gen. 1:8 Valleys in the seas. Job 38:16; 2 Sam. 22:16
