When I was eight years old my mother and I heard
a newscast on the radio that said;
“A recent study says carrots cause cancer.”
I then turned to my mother and said,
“Mom, even though I’m only eight years old,
even I Know...carrots do NOT cause cancer!”
While a humorous anecdote, a 'Fake News' story that
has been circulating among many
today is that we all evolved from a primordial pool
over billions of years, there is no God, the Bible is simply
an old re-translated book of ancient fables and therefore
there is no need to be 'saved'
from 'sin.'
Just one look up into the milky way on a dark night or
the simplest understanding of our complex DNA shows that all
of existence could not have happened by accident, but was by
the specific design of a creator, and that creator was God. And if one
would take more than just a cursory glance at the Bible, you’d also
discover that like DNA, it’s design also is not just a
random collection of words and superstitious ideas but a highly
integrated message system that upon honest evaluation
even mathematically proves its divine authorship.
The bottom line is it is all too easy to hear a message like
“carrots cause cancer” and take what is clearly false as true.
Likewise, please don’t assume that just because popular opinion says
the Bible is “Fake News” that that is true.
To be fair, also be skeptical about the message of the Gospel of Grace and Salvation,
just as I was as an eight year old that carrots do not cause cancer
and give it an honest look.
Friend, when you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at
what you will find.
