7.0 Questions & Doubts

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” – Proverbs 9:10

If you’re like me, even after reading this book, you may still have thousands of questions (ok, maybe hundreds), doubts, etc., about God, the Bible, and Christianity. Perhaps lingering questions like:

  • How can the Bible possibly be true?
  • Is there really a God?
  • What about evolution? Didn’t we “evolve” from apes?
  • What about the dinosaurs?
  • Doesn’t science, carbon dating, and the “big bang” theory prove humans “evolved” billions of years ago from “primordial goo”?
  • Why did God create us knowing we would sin and suffer?
  • If Satan is evil, why did God create him?
  • Why is there pain and suffering if God is a loving God?
  • Why does God allow evil to continue to exist now?
  • And…what about {___fill in the blank here___}.

Know that you are not alone! I was just like you – I questioned everything. It was hard searching for answers and truth amidst a veritable worldwide sea of lies, delusions, fake science, false teachings, and deceptions in nearly every direction you look!
But I urge you: please deal with your questions, doubts, and fears head-on, with brutal candor and honesty. Don’t ignore or pretend that they don’t exist as I did for years. And above all, do not let them cause you to stumble and fall, or worse, to not believe in God and in Jesus. Please do not let them stop you from pursuing truth and eternal life – for it is your eternal destiny that is at stake! There is additional information on our website, including links to helpful resources, which address topics that couldn’t be covered in this book. May God lead you into all truth and help you to grow in the grace and knowledge (understanding) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

DOES EVOLUTION DISPROVE THE BIBLE?

Are you confused by evolution vs. creation? You were taught evolution in school, so it must be true and the Bible wrong, right? Science and carbon dating fossils and tree rings and the dinosaurs all prove the Bible is wrong, right?

The answer to these and many other commonly accepted scientific questions is: no!

Many scientists, who are also Christians, have information that atheistic scientists just don’t like, want to hear, or want you to hear. So that information is suppressed (or ignored) in schools or discredited by atheistic “theories” put forth as facts, when they are just theories. As a scientist myself (physics), I also struggled mightily with these questions about science, evolution, and the age of the earth, etc – how could it all be possibly created by a God, in a mere 7 days? I had to seek answers to many questions and hopefully the information I’ve found can help you also.

But: Are you prepared to be open-minded and consider new information? Are you really ready to objectively evaluate factual information and to consider that you may have been lied to for so many years? Are you really open to considering that the Biblical views on science and creation are accurate? You will find there is a whole body of scientific knowledge and facts out there that have been kept hidden from you.

Q. What does the Bible say about creation vs. evolution?

Q. Is the book of Genesis true or just a myth? Was the Earth really created in 7 literal 24-hour days?

Q. Is the Earth really only several thousand years old, or millions of years old?

Q. Doesn’t Carbon-14 dating prove that the Earth is millions of years old?

Q. Doesn’t radiometric dating prove that the Earth is millions of years old?

Q. Don’t fossils prove that the Earth is millions of years old?

Q. Don’t tree growth rings prove that the Earth is millions of years old?

Q. Don’t erosion and continent shifts (plate tectonics) prove the earth is millions of years old? Was Noah’s flood real, and global?

Q. What about the theory of evolution? Didn’t we evolve from Apes and even originally from lightning striking some primordial goo puddle somewhere?

Q. What about natural selection, gene mutations and survival of the fittest (Darwinism)? Didn’t gene mutations create humans and advanced species?

Q. What about the dinosaurs? When did they live and where did they all go? Didn’t an asteroid kill them off millions of years ago?

Q. Doesn’t science prove there many ice ages over millions of years as we have been told in school?

Q. Doesn’t science prove the Bible is false and God isn’t real?

Q. What about the “Big Bang,” that proves science right yes?

Q. Don’t astronomy and the cosmic red-shift of distant light detected galaxies prove billions of years?

Q. What about the “Gap Theory” promoted by some who also believe the Bible? That shows Christians believe the earth is millions of years old right?

Q. Was there really a global Noah’s flood or is that a myth? How could all the animals everywhere possibly fit in one little boat?

Q. Why do animals have sharp teeth if they weren’t mean to kill other animals?

I’m guessing you might be by now wondering why you haven’t heard or been taught any of this stuff in school? I’ll let you ponder the answer to that…
