SCRIPTURE READING JOB:41 1-21OR END OF CHAPTER
Why should I believe in God?
First there are only to ways this world could get universe could get life on it.
1) evolved
2) God created it.
Lets look at science of evolution.
Is it a scientific fact?
even though it is taught like it is. IT IS NOT A FACT.
WHY?
It can only be a fact f is repeatable.
can evolution be reapeated.
no.
IT IS THEN SOME ONES OPINION.
NEXT IS THERE EVEIDENCE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE.
NO in order for it to be possible afew things have to be done.
1) create a living cell from non living matter
2) having evidence that birth defects can useful to the host and will be passed on to decendents.
or 3) cow has to give birth to a horse pick your animals
4) show proof that some time in the past when watermellon seeds were planted cucumbers were produced, pick your plants. HASN'T IN THE KNOWN PAST, NOT IN THE PRESENT, NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT WILL IN THE FUTURE.
WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE IT HAS HAPPEN IN THE UNKNOWN PAST
science has not showed proof that it has, can, or will happen
theory of of evolution got it start in days when science believed
1) old dirty clothes in a dark place produced mice
2) dead meat produced maggots
IT TOOK MILLIONS OF YEARS.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MILLIONS OF YEARS THEORY.
AT THE PRESENT RATE OF SHRINKAGE OF THE SUN,
THE EARTH WOULD BE INSIDE OF THE SUN.
Since we live in a deteriating world, where did all the matter come from if it didn't exist.
Many beliefs, always was always will be.
expanding universe
stars disappearing
deterating of the planet
THE ONLY REASON IT SURVIVES TODAY IS IT LEAVES GOD OUT OF THEN PICTURE.
A GOD CREATED.
WHICH GOD?

We need to be careful
the BIBLE is not a science book.
BUt wher it does speak of it, it is 100% accurate
Psalms 8:8 paths of the sea=ocean currents
the BIBLE is History book. But where it speaks of it, it is 100% accuarate
many ruins of cities have been found by people tryign to prove the Bible wrong

Bible is inerrant
1979 council of biblical inerrancy ' INERRANC MENA THAT WHEN ALL FACTS ARE KNOWN, THE SCRIPTURES IN THE ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPHS AND PROPERLY INTERPRETED WILL BE SHOWN TO BE WHOLLY TRUE IN EVERYTHING THEY TEACH, WHEATHER THAT TEACHING HAS TO DO WITH DOCTRINE, HISTORY, SCIENCE, GEOGRAPHY, GEOLOGY, OR THER DISCIPLINES OR KNOWLEDGE
which means when written it IT WAS GODS'S WORDS pened by man it is without errors, mistakes, or contradictions
necessary it gives us a place to stand,
gives a source of authority
it is important in preachintg and teaching
