For me, its not so important whether our origins demands that a God exist, it is just whether that God exists regardless. I didn't come to faith because I couldn't explain how the earth began rotating without some supernatural cause, I came to faith because I started a relationship with God in modern times. <BR/><BR/>Indeed, I get a bit annoyed (and it plays heavily on my own doubts) when Christians are arguing over fine tuning as proof of God. Is that all we have these days? Whatever happened to Holy Fire coming down form the sky and destroying idols? Supernatural plagues that demonstrate who is in charge? If I posit that God is active and available today to effect change in the world, that should be what I demonstrate or call upon God to demonstrate to an unbelieving world, not cosmological constants that we couldn't have known about until the last 30 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
