> The Bible mentioned that God created Heaven and Earth. The Bible also
mentions that God created the light. It will not get into specifics about
the laws but as scientist will tell you: there is order in the way the
universe behaves.Why should the Bible give specifics on how to control
matter? It is not important or relevent to God's plan. Just think what a
better world this would be if mankind followed the ten commandments. But
since mankind doesn't he is condemned to "Hell on Earth." It isn't negative
to be a skeptic but when folks let skepticism blind them to reality, then it
is harmful. God has been letting everyone know that He is around but the
skeptics turn a blind eye on the evidence and expect science to explain it
away. In many cases science cannot explain things that we call miracles.
After all, God doesn't have to live by Man's conception on how He should
act. God MADE the rules. For an example, aparitions have been springing up
around the world and in countries that aren't traditionally Christian. Why
would an image of Mary or a cross appear in a window of the house of a
Buddhist in Japan that matches the picture on my wall. Or crosses in
countries that have no religious ties to Christianity. After careful
examination of the aparitions scientist came away empty-handed to explain it
all in logical scientific terms as we know it, but the events took place and
thousands were witnesses to the events. The event in Fatima, Portugal in
1917 made believers out of freethinkers, atheist and other skeptics. There
have been no explanations to explain how an single event could turned the
minds of hardcore skeptics in an matter of minutes. So you see, miracles
happen everyday but skeptics are blind to that fact just as they were blind
to the possibities that man would one day fly and travel into space. One of
the reasons that people are confused by the Bible is that ancient people
did't talk in the same way as we do today. How would they describe a full
dressed astronaut? Skeptics think that Jesus was a fabled character in the
Bible yet we use a dating system that begins about the time of His birth. We
would not have established a dating system or a holiday based on a fabled
person anymore than we would observe the birth of the Sun god of Egypt. You
have only two choices: You can believe or disbelieve in God. However, it is
you who will pay the price when the curtains come down on your life physical
body. Afterwards it will be too late to say "I'm sorry." The evidence is
everywhere and it doesn't take much to see reality for what it is. I could
write a book of stories on the evidence of God based on my experience and
that of other people. Stories that can be corroborated by others. The Bible
mentions that Man "will make a nest amoung the stars." If you want evidence
of God then take a few months and do a hardcore investigation into miracles
that were investigated by belivers and nonbelivers alike and remain
unexplanable to this day. The evdience will be there.

I am biased toward God in descibing what is in the magazine. But to give you
a little taste of what it's all about, it supports the evidence of God and
that science is entering an early stage that points to that fact. As man
learns more about the universe he is finding out that maybe the universe
does have an intelligent design to it. In fact, many scientist who have
investigated living matter in a more detailed observation, came away with a
whole different view on life as we knew it. The evidence tends to point to a
creator. After all, science cannot explain where all of the matter came from
or how the laws that govern them came about or for that matter, why it
happened at all at a particular time.
