Community United Methodist Church: multi-cultural and inclusive

From My Heart

Today is the first of five weeks where I want to deal with common questions of non-Christians. I found these questions on the internet. Perhaps Christians here have been troubled by them as well. Today’s question could come right out of the newspaper. There will be an election this Tuesday which affects the Texas committee that chooses school textbooks. The board is almost evenly split between members who accept evolution and those who accept intelligent design. The election will determine which material is in their textbook and the textbooks of many smaller states who have to buy whatever larger states demand from textbook companies.

For the non Christians watching the whole drama, many cannot figure out why it matters. Are Christians really claiming that God required 6 days to create the earth? Why did it take that long? Why do Adam and Eve have the same number of ribs if the Lord took one? Why is light created on the first day and the sun on the fourth day?

So today’s question is ‘Did you really make the world?’
