I am evolution.
I am random chance accidents that bring us purposeless nothing, which somehow leads to everything.
I am creation. I show order and completion. I had to break a few scientific laws to get here.
The law of conservation of mass energy, which says no matter of energy can never be created nor destroyed.
The law of causality, which says that every effect must have an equal or greater cause.
Yet I ask you to believe that everything came from nothing. Not to mention the law of biogenesis, which says that life always comes from life, yet I teach that life came from non -living matter.
I never go against these scientific laws because I am created by the one who made the energy. The great cause that made all the effects, the living
God who created life, matter, the laws of nature, and all things. I am marked by an invisible past.
Fossils show none of my expected in -between forms. I am witnessed in the book that tells how
I came about, the Bible. I am talked about in almost every science textbook. Their information often changes and disagrees, but it's all the truth.
At least for today. My book has stood the test of time. Like the God that revealed it, my truth never changes.
I am clever storytelling. If what you see doesn't fit with what I'm saying, we'll make it fit.
I only need a small amount of evidence to be considered true because everyone wants to believe me.
I am the search for truth, the narrow path. Even when you're given amazing evidence I was made by the creator of all, most will not acknowledge me.
You'll be popular if you believe in me, even if I'm wrong, which of course I'll cleverly cover.
You will be ridiculed if you believe in Jesus the creator, but in him there is hope and purpose.
I am a fingerprint of the eternal God and you are a reflection of his image. I am freedom. I free you from having to be responsible to anyone but yourself.
Freedom to die? I point to the one who gives freedom to live. Freedom to be loved by the one who knows you inside and out, forever.
I reflect a society that declares we don't need God, we are our own gods, if you must use that word.
I reflect the designer of everything from this vast universe to the smallest particle. His ways are far beyond our ways.
He doesn't need us, but yet he calls. Will you hear? I am heard from the loudest voices, rock stars, movie stars, even many of your teachers.
Even powerful religious leaders. I am the still small voice calling you to follow the creator and submit to him as a savior.
I call a fetus a glob of tissue, a choice. I call it a masterpiece of the creator from the very first cell, with a lifetime of choices to make.
I am millions of years of death. Death? Yes, all the death, through natural selection, brought about life.
Millions of years of death to get here. Death is my champion, and time and chance are his allies.
Yes, I, the creation, groan in pain because of sin and death. But death was the payment for the wrongs we commit, not a way to advance the world.
Yet within me is also evidence of new life. The way I am sustained, the miracle of a tree growing from a tiny seed, all point to my creator,
Jesus Christ, the one who stretched out the universe and allowed his human hands to be stretched out and nailed to a cross, to pay off that death sentence for me and for you.
It's free for anyone willing to admit their wrongs and believe that he died and rose again. Amazing life.
Eternal life. Believe in me and you can have your own way today and die tomorrow, and I will be served.
For when you die, there will be no reason for your random existence. Believe in God and you will find ultimate purpose.
The plan he had for you since the very foundation of the earth. Because he loves you. Stop! Choose me.
Just accept it. Nod your head. Agree. Then move on. Oh man, I have claimed the lives of so many.
Today you believe in me a little, tomorrow you believe in your myth a little less.
No. Think. Don't just believe because everybody else does. Because if you look, really look, at me and the words he revealed, you'll see him.
Find him and you will find life. Eternal life. It's your choice.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you. Life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life that both you and your descendants may live.
