Are you a thinker? If so, you must have questions about origins. If you are a Christian, you must have questions concerning the Bible and many science teachings today. This book is written to help all in the church find the answers to these and other questions: Is the Bible’s 6,000 years acceptable? Can the Bible and Science be reconciled? Does your faith rest on solid evidence? Has the Bible ever been found errant? What’s behind secular teachings concerning origins? This book will serve as a guide for those who are: Educators Pastors Home schooling parents Students seeking the truth Do you remember when you were a child lying on the grass with your friends on a warm summer’s evening, gazing into the night sky? You would let your inquisitive minds wonder and you pondered the questions that nearly everyone before had asked. “Why is the sky blue?” “What are the clouds made of?” “Where did the objects come from?” “How did they get here?” “What holds the moon up?” “How can birds fly?” You went through the questions that journalists use when they cover a story: who, what, when, where, how. Then you may well have personalized your investigation and wondered about your own existence. If you found it intriguing, difficult, and confusing to study and resolve the conundrums that resulted from your questions, you were not alone. Just like everyone else, you found the answers to some of your questions by asking your parents, teachers, and other respected adults. However, as an adult you may still not have resolved some of your questions. But, remember, just as each of us wrestled with these thoughts individually, so did mankind as a whole. The human race collectively is still struggling for many of the same answers. It is also no secret that world-renowned scientists often gather for conferences trying to resolve many of these same questions. The two big questions that the natural sciences are trying to resolve are these: How can there be anything, and why does anything exist? Thus, the origin and purpose for all that exists still has eluded the sciences. Yet I have found that looking for answers is much like looking for anything else—we spend too much time searching in the wrong places. This booklet is written with the hope that it will first help you to look in the right places, and secondly that it will help to strengthen your faith. Hopefully, this will make you feel more confident when expressing your beliefs to others, whether they are believers in the Scriptures or not.
