Add to basketHave you ever asked the question, does God exist? Have you ever wondered about the source of life on earth, and in particular, human life? Three approaches to answering these questions are: creationism, intelligent design, and evolution. Evolutionists claim that all life on earth has evolved from simple life forms over billions of years. They are adamant that their claim has been proven to be a scientific fact. It turns out that their so-called 'proof' uses an invalid logical argument. Hence, at this point in time, evolution is merely a conjecture and not a scientific fact.
Instead of attempting to answer these questions, a different approach is to restate the questions as propositions. A proposition is a statement that is either true or false. Then the consequences of their respective truth values can be analyzed. The first proposition is: An Infinite Intelligent Entity (IIE) exists. If that proposition is true, that leads to a second proposition: The IIE created life on earth, and in particular, human life. If both propositions are true, that leads to a third proposition: There is life after death. If any of these propositions is false, the bottom line is that it leads to a dead end.
If all three propositions are true, it leads to a fourth proposition: Jesus lived some 2,000 years ago. If all four propositions are true, then the following topics are considered: Evidence that God exists; Threats to Christianity; Is God speaking to America?
