A Choice of Origins

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and after the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this, let's say we have a man making contest."

To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"

But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God just looked at him and said, "No, no. You go get your own dirt!"


I was considering the truths behind this joke, what makes it funny. This is the problem athiestic scientists face today. Through evolution they believe they can explain the origin of man, and life in general. Life, they claim was developed from a sea of chemicals. Where did these chemicals come from? Interstellar dust. Where did the dust come from? The Big Bang! The Big Bang? Yes everything exploded on to the scene in a giant explosion! What exploded? Nothing. How can nothing explode? Well, everything was in the nothing so it had to explode. How did that nothing come to be, where did the everything in the nothing come to be? Uh, it was part of a prior universe that shrank to nothing...?

Choose:

In the begining God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

-or-

Billions of years ago, the elements that make up everything that will ever exist exploded out of nowhere and from nothing.
