Do you have to get everything right to be a Christian? No, but there are some things you cannot get wrong and still be a Christian. For instance, you must believe in God in order to be a Christian.

But in order for the ‘big bang’ to have occurred, either matter and/or energy must have been self-existent, or they came into being, uncaused out of nothing. Both of these proposals are scientific impossibilities.

The Big Bang theory proposes a singularity or ‘cos...

Atheists are not free to redefine the terms. “Atheist” means “no God”. The atheist argues that he does not believe there is a God, saying there is no evidence for God. But his argument is a distraction; regardless of his wording, the atheist proposes ‘no God”, and when he is offered the evidence, he rejects it. He insists that evidence “doesn’t count”, asserting the consequent that his position is true due to the evidence being false without regard to the nature or essence of the evidence offered. There is no real effort to consider what he’s shown.

The Bible states that the very creation shows the existence and nature of God...
