      Do you really believe that all that exist spontaneously arose from
nonliving minerals that exploded billions of years ago.   Which is harder to
believe:   That you and all that exist arose from some non living-matter (a
rock) that exploded billions of years ago for some unknown reason (matter
cannot make itself out of nothing).  Or that there is a planner, a designer,
a creator, a GOD.
     What is so scientific about the idea of hydrogen gas becoming human ?
Do you honestly believe that everything came from nothing ?

Let me ask you a few questions.  I can answer all your questions but can you
answer even one of mine?  I beg you to consider the following and except the
fact that there is a designer, a planner, a Creator, A GOD:

1)  Where did the space for the universe come from ?
2)  Where did matter come from ?
3)  Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc..)?
4)  How did matter get so perfectly organized ?
5)  Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing ?
6)  When, where, why and how did life come from dead matter ?
7)  When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself ?
8)  With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce ?
9)  Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since
this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of
survival ? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species) ?
10)  How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new,
improved varieties ?  (Recombining English letters will never produce
Chinese books.)
11)  Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals
prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor ?
12)  Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and
tends only to keep a species stable.  How would you explain the increasing
complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were
true ?
13)  When, where, why, and how did
     a) Single-celled plants become multi-celled ?
     b) Where are the 2 and 3 celled intermediates ?
     c)  Single-celled animals evolve ?
     d)  Fish change to amphibians ?
     e)  Amphibians change to reptiles ?
     f)  Reptiles change to birds ? (the lungs, bones eyes
         reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body
         covering, etc., are all very different)
    g)  How did the intermediate forms live ?
14)  When, where, why, how and from what did:
     a ) Whales evolve ?
     b)  Sea horses evolve ?
      c) Bats evolve ?
      d) Eyes evolve ?
      e) Ears evolve ?
      f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc.. evolve ?
15)  Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the
others)?
      a)  The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the
ability
           to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body's
resistance to
           its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.) ?
      b)  The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce ?
      c)  The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the
perfect
           mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs ?
      d)  DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts ?
      e)  The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest
the cellulose ?
      f)  The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants ?
      g)  The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move
the bones ?
      h)  The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system ?
      i)  The immune system or the need for it ?
16)  There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an
evolutionary
explanation.  Why must you teach that evolution is the only explanation for
these relationships ?
17)  How would evolution explain mimicry ?  Did the plants and animals
develop mimicry by
chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design ?
18)  When, where, why, and how did man evolve feelings ?  Love, mercy,
guilt, etc. would never
evolve in the theory of evolution.
19)  How did photosynthesis evolve ?
20)  How did thought evolve ?
21)  How did flowering plants evolve and from what ?
22)  What kind of evolutionist are you ?  Why are you not one of the other
eight or ten kinds ?
23)  Is there one clear prediction of macroevolution that has proved true ?
24)  What is so scientific about the idea of hydrogen gas becoming human ?
25)  Do you honestly believe that everything came from nothing ?

Answers to your questions:

Is there a GOD ?

     In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ), and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was present originally with
God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without
Him was not even on thing made that has come into being.  (Gen 1:1) In the
beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the
earth.

Why do I believe this: ?
     Because I believe the bible is the written inspired Word of God.  And
in it is the answers to the full, original purpose of our existence, the
root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all
inharmonious circumstances and conditions, the duty for every man.

Consider this:
     93 million miles from the blistering surface of the sun hangs the
planet earth.  A rotating sphere, perfectly suspended in the center of the
universe.  The ultimate creation from an infinite mind.  An unbelievably
intricate, complex design.  A super natural testimony, an irrefutable sign
that there is a God.  The size position and angle of the earth is a
scientific phenomena.  A few degrees closer to the sun, we disintegrate.  A
few degrees further we freeze.  The axes of the earth is tilted at a perfect
23 degree angle.  This is by no mistake or chance.  This position or tilt
allows equal global distribution of the rays of the sun, making it possible
for the food chain to exist.  Or take for example the combination of
Nitrogen and Oxygen in the atmosphere we breath.  It just happens to be the
exact mixture that life needs to prosper.  This doesn't happen on any other
planet.
     The bible says the invisible things of God are clearly seen through his
creation.  If there's a design, there's a designer, if there's a plan,
there's a planner, if there's a miracle, there is a God.  The scriptures say
that the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of
his hands.  If we allow our minds to drink in all the truth that just
surrounds us, creation itself will help us understand.  Did you know the
moon controls the tides.  It's the maid that cleans the oceans.  The tides
drag impurities into the depths of the sea.  It's natures constant recycling
chain.
     It simply boggles the mind to think that the stars rotate with such
exact precision that the atom clock, with an error factor of less than 3
seconds per millenium is set by the way they move.  Though they silently
orbit, the sun, the moon, the stars, are like celestial evangelist above,
who circle the earth every 24 hours shouting in every language that exist,
THERE, IS, A, GOD.
     Atheism and or evolution is the wedge under the foundation of our faith
trying to topple our relationship with God.  When the fool says there is no
God, he rejects the truth God painted on the canvas of the night and the
whole original purpose of his creation.  Atheism never created an artistic
master piece, never healed a fatal disease or calmed a fear.  Atheism has
never given answers to our existence, peace to a trouble mind.  For it's God
that created heaven and earth, flung the stars into space and breathed in a
handful of dirt that became a man.  It's God who sets on the circle of the
earth, measures the mountains with a scale and holds the 7 seas in the palms
of his hand.  It's God who sent his only begotten son to the cross to save
our souls from hell and give us ever lasting life.  It's God who creates,
God who delivers, God who heals.
     Do you honestly believe that everything that ever came into existence
came from nothing ?  In man is a 3 pound brain which, as far as we know, is
the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the universe.  Do you
honestly believe billions of years ago something exploded and created your
mind, your soul, your being, your spirit, your life, all things.
     There is a God, He is exalted, Satan is defeated and Jesus Christ is
Lord, and he is coming back.  If you do not know God you will spend the rest
of eternity in hell.  Is a few years of sin, rejection of your creator,
desires of the flesh, worth all eternity ?  Whether you believe there is a
God or not, you will be judged and without the confession of your mouth and
the believe in your heart that God lives and Jesus Christ is Lord you will
spend eternity in Hell.  God is your source, not some unexplained gases and
rocks that somehow existed, exploded and then created everything.  Renew
your mind, seek God and all things will be added unto you.

If I can answer any questions or help you further in the search for your
source, please ask !
