Starting from Scratch

Where did we come from? Where did we come from? – Option 1: Intellectual design. Genesis 1:1, 27 – Option 2: We have no idea… maybe random chance.

Starting from Scratch Does life have a meaning? Does life have a meaning? – Option 1: Yes, the meaning is given by the same one who intelligently designed us. Isaiah 43:7 – Option 2: We have no idea.

Starting from Scratch Who or what decides what is meaningful, significant, moral? Who or what decides what is meaningful, significant, moral? – Option 1: The one who created us and gave us meaning decides what is meaningful. Ecclesiastes 12:13 – Option 2: We don’t know for sure, therefore, the importance of things is subjective.

Starting from Scratch Is there even such thing as right and wrong? Is there even such thing as right and wrong? – Option 1: Yes, the Creator decides. Daniel 9:14 – Option 2: Well, we think we know some things that are right and wrong (the obvious ones).

Starting from Scratch Are you accountable for your actions? Are you accountable for your actions? – Option 1: Yes, you are accountable to the Creator at any time he makes you accountable. Matthew 25:46 – Option 2: We don’t know. (This is really a reason some like the idea of no God)

Closing God is where we came from. God is where we came from. God gives us meaning. God gives us meaning. God decides what is meaningful. God decides what is meaningful. God decides right and wrong. God decides right and wrong. God makes us accountable in his time. God makes us accountable in his time.
