I have heard it said, “Why do you believe in a God in a book that was written by humans? I personally believe in the big bang theory.” This to me is so comical. Why do I believe in a God in a book? That is so funny. I don’t believe in a God in a book. I believe in a God that is living, breathing, interacting with me every day. Do I need scientific proof that my God exists? Nope. I experience this “proof” every day. Every breath I take, every beat of my heart, every breeze through the trees, every baby’s cry, every ripple of the water — that is my proof.
The big bang theory? Is that not truly in a book? Was that not discovered and written about by man? Yes, it was. I may actually believe the big bang theory. My adjustment to that theory is that I do not believe that it was a random act of science. I believe God made the big bang happen. I believe that when our infinite God reached His hands into the finite area of space to create the heavens and this earth, it disrupted the status quo in space and created a huge bang. I believe that God caused those molecules to join together and the land and seas to form. I believe that this very same Creator God hung every star in the sky, made the sun and moon to orbit and created every living thing.
I believe every syllable of the Bible. Yes, God used simple men like you and me to write it, but we are told in 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” We were given a heart for God when He created us. I don’t know about you, but especially as this world gets more disgusting and sinful, my soul longs for heaven. This longing is placed there by God. Wouldn’t you like to be assured that this longing will be fulfilled? Know God, talk to Him, read His Word, surround yourself with other believers and be welcomed home to heaven where He has your place ready.
