The Quiz
Without having to risk the reliability and trustworthiness of some authority figure, perhaps in a white lab coat, that you don’t know, and who may have an agenda they are concealing, you examine the evidence. You decide for yourself. Good luck!
Q-1. Some think life may have began (A) billions of years ago when a bolt of lightning struck a primordial swamp, and has over billions of years and billions of generations evolved upwards (in violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics) to become all we now see. Others think it more reasonable to believe (B) it is the product of a Mind. Vote. (A) (B)

Q-4. Adding to the Order, Organization, beneficial outcomes, and Diversity, look at the mind-boggling Complexity of living things with their individual and unique DNA, each different from all others.

non purposeful process”? Or (B) from an intellect?” Vote. (A) (B)
Q-5. The cosmos is ordered by laws. These laws appear immutable, dependable and reliable. Build a car, frig, rocket and most anything else by the rules and it performs.

(A) (B)
Q-10. The Goldilocks effect If the sun or moon were 10% larger or smaller, or 10% nearer or farther, if Earth’s rotation were 10% faster or slower, or it’s tilt on it’s axis were 10% greater or smaller, life as we know it would not exist on Earth. The ecological balance of the Earth seems finely tuned and precariously balanced. Is this more likely to be the result of (A) a blind, mindless and without purpose process? Or (B) of a Creator? Vote.

Those who do not want a God in the picture want you to believe a great deal. With no God, they try to imagine ways things “could” have happened. The first thing you must swallow is: NOTHING CREATED EVERYTHING!!! Both science and common sense agree: Nothing creates nothing. We know there have always been those who do not want to believe in God. Which is it: Some atheists grow up and become scientists? Or some scientists become atheists? (The old chicken/egg thing.) If what they learned in research made them atheists, please tell us what it was. And identify the criteria they used. If they cannot deliver specifics and resort only to broad generalizations, we can wonder if they were objective from the start. When a shooter goes crazy at a school or other venue, we don’t know how long he wrestled his demons before finally giving in. We do know it is not likely he views his victims as made in the image of God. Rather he is likely to believe what he has been taught. Would the extra level of accountability make the difference? We don’t know, but if he was convinced on a deep level he wouldn’t get away with it, that would weigh in our favor.

Without God, Life can seem futile and pointless. We have less significance, value, meaning and purpose, and when troubles come as they sooner or later do, we have no hope. Perhaps if the children can be taught a few simple truths, we can help Armor Plate them against the compulsory indoctrination and brainwashing they endure in schools. For twelve to sixteen years. With authority figures destroying their faith. Think of it! Perhaps a few simple insights can inform them. And send them out, Armored and Unafraid! You can help get the word out.
