Broken Pedometers and the existence of God

Been a while since we last posted stuff for our community. We’ve been still meeting and talking about stuff, lately it has been mainly around personal items. How we are doing and how life is going.

Kevin told us today about the beginning of his preps for his marathon and the travails of a pedometer that doesn’t work. After thirty-six minutes and “three miles” he was quite disappointed in a 12 minute mile. He was pissed off and quite winded. Fortunately the three was actually 4.5, an 8 minute mile. Kevin had peace again. (Thanks “GMap”! www.gmap-pedometer.com)

We discussed some of the issues surrounding the change that occurred a few years ago when former atheist Anthony Flew changed his mind regarding the existence of a higher being. Apparently there was a TV show on EWTN recently that showed Anthony Flew debating Anthony Flew. There was an edited interaction of previously recorded debates that Anthony Flew did in the 70’s and then his responses today highlighting where he has changed his mind.

This opened discussion on the usual things regarding Christianity and the Bible about evolution, macro and micro, and the first 11 chapters of the Hebrew Scriptures.

We concluded that regardless of what one concludes on the issues surrounding the specifics of the Creation account that doesn’t change the unusual power of a persons encounter with the historic Jesus of Nazareth.

Because we know God to be real and true, and that all things in the known and unknown world are under his dominion, the discoveries of science need not be feared. His influence is manifest in the unfathomable complexity we find in the universe, in DNA in the laws of nature, in the consciousness of man, the existence of art. The burden of proof does not lie among those who walk with him.

We will add a few links regarding these matters soon.

Peace, Kirk, Kevin, Bryan, and Ryann
