Why are we here? Is it by Design or Accident?
Did you know that if our earth, moon and sun were slightly larger or
slightly smaller in size (even if the distance and size proportions were exactly the same) the force of
gravity would be either too strong or too weak to support life-forms with enough mass
to allow for intelligent beings.
Our unique single large moon makes our planet the only one in
our solar system that rotates on an axis and that axis is at
a very important angle tilt of
23.5 degrees combined with a slightly elliptical solar orbit at just the right
distance from the sun which is "critical"
for allowing our planet the seasonal changes and weather patterns
required for growing vegetation. If the distance of our earth were
just slightly closer or further from the sun, then life as we know it would be
impossible. These are just a small sampling of the dozens of
specialized features that are required to create and support intelligent life
which make our small little planet highly unique. The diverse plant and animal life
on planet earth is
absolutely astonishing. Just look at the delicate and fragile balance seen
in nature and the impact pollution can have on this finely tuned balance. The
question is, could this delicate balance have happen by an evolutionary accident or was it
designed?
Then there is the study of genetics and the human DNA which continue to amaze scientist
with their complexity in design and coding of organized information. The
simplest cell is vastly more complex than originally thought. "The entire cell
can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking
assembly lines, each of which is composed of a set of large protein machines... For many of us who are honest, it becomes unreasonable to believe that our solar system came into existence and evolved to our current state without highly intelligent design. That then raises the question, "Who could have designed our solar system?" Do any of the ancient writings give a scientifically possible, detailed description and order of events for the creation of our planet? Unless you want to believe that the universe is being held up by elephants, there is only one of the ancient writings which gives an actual outline of the creation with an order of events... the book of Genesis. What about dinosaurs and the billions of years before mankind? When studied in the context it was written in, these do not conflict with the account in Genesis as many would have you believe. From the Abraham of Genesis, we get three major world religions. Judaism, which does not believe their Messiah has come to earth yet. Muslim, which believes that Jesus was a good man but not Messiah. And Christianity, which believes that Jesus was and is the Messiah who is the only one who could possibly fulfill all the ancient prophecies. It is also interesting that their are so many "cults" which claim to know the "truth" with "new revelations" that focus on trying to diminish the deity of one person (curious how they do not appear to attack each other but focus on diminishing the only one who can save them). Of all the wise men and religious leaders in history there is only one person who has made such an impact on our world that our history is divided by His entrance and 2000 years later our calendar is still based on the years since He walked on this earth. Only one person was born of virgin birth, led a sinless life and was raised from the dead never to die again. He had love and compassion for the common people but He spoke out harshly against "religious" leaders who were proud and had no heart for God. He never asked anyone for money. He was never elected as a leader. He did not own any houses or land. He healed the sick, crippled and blind. He walked on water and calmed a storm. He raised the dead back to life. He never sinned. He was crucified but He has no tomb because He overcame the grave never to die again. He was seen by over 500 people over 40 days after He came back to life. He said that He was the only way to God. He was called Yeshua and we translate His name to Jesus. Search for yourself to see if He spoke truth. The historical records are widespread and voluminous and have been proven to be accurate and reliable. All eleven disciples who witnessed his resurrection from the dead and saw Him ascended into the clouds proclaiming that He would return, remained faithful to the end of their lives enduring great pain and suffering and death for proclaiming that Jesus arose from the dead. Ten were killed for refusing to deny these truths and the eleventh (John the Beloved) died of old age after surviving being dipped in boiling oil (he was so disfigured that they exiled him to a solitary island where he wrote the last book of the Bible "The Revelation". These were first hand witnesses and they would not die for a lie. They were very simple men yet they forever changed the world. We have some very interesting parallels to show you from the scriptures to help you find the truth. Remember, "Some things are true, whether you chose to believe them or not". You must decide if you want to know the truth about the one who said, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free"... Take a look at the Yeshua's attributes or read Yeshua's words for yourself an see if they speak truth. Be cautious of those who would try to deceive you by diminishing Jesus and promoting self-righteousness.
