One of the dilemmas I have in sharing my faith are the questions that many of those who don’t believe in Jesus Christ have about creation of the world. I am not much of a science buff, though I do enjoy Geology. I usually mention that many supposed “truths” taught by science are not as grounded in fact as the teachers would like us to believe. Even scientists who don’t believe in the existence of God think some evolutionary theories are total garbage.

Many “truths” are disproved each year, and that trend only increases. That is what scientific study is supposed to be. Somewhere along the line some people turned science into a belief system rather than what it was meant to be (an orderly method by which we observe provable events) and became infected with decidedly unscientific (unproven and unobservable) phenomena. But I digress…

So How do I Share my Faith Without Sounding Like an Idiot?

Good question – I’m somewhat vague in my responses. The truth is that I don’t really have the answers. I maintain that these are all excellent questions, but will having the answers to all life’s mysteries then allow us to believe in God? No way – we always have one more question on the horizon.

Of course God knew that, which is why he speaks volumes about the mysterious element of faith. God knows what we need to know, and at what point we need to know it. We don’t usually have the opportunity in life to have every answer before we make a decision. Those who truly succeed have stepped out in faith, even if it was just faith in their own flesh.

Until people who are not sure about the ability of Jesus Christ to save them, there are a few things we can do to give those working out their faith another perspective to chew on regarding such early historical events such as the existence of dinosaurs, where the moon came from, and so forth.

Some Possible Answers to History’s Mysteries

A privately-funded creationism museum will soon be opening in Kentucky and they have a website with a considerable amount of information regarding creationism theories. Answers in Genesis’ material is distinctly different from some of the mediocre research I’ve seen in the past from Christian theorists where there is some tapping on the Bible, saying “If it’s in here, I believe.” While that is quite admirable, and basically what I have done as well, not everyone is willing to take quite that big of a leap. People want some answers that can at least be partially understood based on what they have experienced in school.

I have not read through much of the material – it’s almost as new to me as it will be to some of you, so be sure to add any comments or questions in the section at the bottom of this page. Enjoy!

I’ll be sharing more in the near future. We have been moving into a new house (big praise report coming on that one) so the posts have been a little slow. Thanks for dropping by, and may you and yours have a blessed day!
