LANGUAGE, CREATION, AND MEANING
_______________
When someone is walking along the beach and looks down to see the words “I Love You”; they do not think it was a random accident of the wind or the waves. The symbols that make up the writing convey a deeper meaning that passes information to us in a metaphysical way. We know that the phrase means that two lovers have gone before us and stopped to write in the sand. It would be preposterous to think it was the wind that carved them. It is by that transfer that we know the words were written on purpose and by an intelligence. That purpose is language.
You have in you a similar language. It is written in every corner of your being, every cell and tissue have it written throughout them. The language is far more complex than the words that were previously discovered in the sand. It requires billions of characters to convey its message.
The language is DNA. It is the molecule that is the instructional blueprint for the assembly of proteins that are the building blocks for all cells and is formed by four distinct bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). The bases act as letters in a four-letter alphabet transferring information to build a specific protein. The bases are assembled into a long strand that we know as the DNA double helix.
Just as we know that the simple phrase in the sand conveys the love between the two beachgoers. Similarly, we should understand that the far more complex writing in us conveys a vast love between a creator and its creation. The DNA language inside you was written not just for you, but it is you. It wrote another being into existence. Something that the words in the sand could not do. Yet, some scoff that the language that has the power to bring things into existence was yet an accident of physics and chemistry. Those words had a meaning lovingly penned by the Creator, and that meaning is you…

Hashtags are the only way for me. I get more response from the right hashtags.
I have the same thoughts. I have been an avid Apple user. No more! Apple is the enemy.

You can at least sit down and lean up against the wall! I would hate for you to fall over…😜
WHAT IS APOLOGETICS?
_______________
The word apologetics comes from the Greek word “apologia”. It means a speech of defense, reply, or the act of making a defense. It provides the textual foundation for what is called “Apologetics”. Christian apologetics describes the discipline of providing cogent arguments and reasons for why the Christian belief system should be considered true. In scripture, Peter instructs his readers to always be at the ready to provide an oral defense for why they are a believer in Christ. The Christian viewpoint is not to be built on faith alone, it has from the very beginning been built on evidence and reason.
“…but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence”
~ 1 Peter 3:15

My cat Bailey spent countless hours on my desk while I was doing my homework for engineering school. She was my study buddy!
“Essentially, I realized that to stay an atheist, I would have to believe that nothing produces everything; non-life produces life; randomness produces fine-tuning; chaos produces information; unconsciousness produces consciousness; and non-reason produces reason. Those leaps of faith were simply too big for me to take, especially in light of the affirmative case for God's existence and Jesus' resurrection (and, hence, his divinity). In other words, in my assessment the Christian worldview accounted for the totality of the evidence much better than the atheistic worldview.”
