3. God is the Creator
What is the probability that a man himself could have come from nothing to become a human being? Someone who doesn't believe in God thinks that it happened by chance. Ellsworth Gerrels shares a fascinating story about his friend Jim, who discovered that Christianity made sense and got acquainted with the author of the Bible. Jim also made an amazing discovery about the human beings. Ellsworth Gerrels began to travel with him and talked with people about space and God's love. That was the beginning of the wonderful experience of witnessing people repent and come to know their Creator.
