this was taken from a website called "The Preacher's Files" but it makes sense, and is part of the reason why i am a Christian.
One of the biggest problems with atheism is the ultimate conclusion one must make with regard to morality. If there is no God, there is no moral giver. No moral-giver, no morals.
No morality, nothing wrong with killing. Stepping on a roach and killing a baby=same thing without morals.
"every effect has an adequate cause"
The fly didn't knock the building down. A nuclear explosion wasn't caused by a firecracker. The Gettysburg adress wasn't written by an ape. The INCREDIBLE intracacies of life weren't caused by the chemical reactions of inanimate rocks, dirt, and slime.
Some scientists assert that it all started with the "Big Bang."
1. They never explain who or what provided the energy for the bang.
2. They never explain how the physical realm came into being.
3. The empty vacuum of space itself must have an explanation.
Again, every effect must have an adequate cause.

If life did not come from God then only matter is left. Two problems.
1. Science has yet to record an instance where life of any kind came from inanimate matter.
2. If matter is creator, than matter is eternal. If something exists now then something must have always existed. However, this flies in the face of the scientists own observations (ie. the second law of thermodynamics.) This law says that energy is becoming more and more unusable. The universe is winding down and will come to an end. This implies a beginning. Therefore matter is not eternal, it is an effect that must have a cause. In Hebrews 1:10-12, we see that the bible stated long ago this law that we have only recently "discovered." Cause and effect IS a reality true science recognizes.
these are just some of the reasons why i believe in a creator, but alot of my faith comes from the bible. I firmly believe that if more people would read the bible, and pick apart what the words are saying than we would have less atheism, and people would see that they can find the RIGHT answer within the text.
