Rebutting Life from Clay

There are some people who have thought that the origins of life could have come from clay. Some people have thought that the crystalline structure of clay could have supported prebiotic chemicals to form together.  In one sense this may work because clay keeps out water which many chemicals do not like to react with.  Even if clay could somehow form a random protein than it would most likely be very low - grade sequencing information and because it would not be able to get out of the clay, very repetitive.  This is one of those origin theories that really holds no merit because of it's lack of thought.

Being a Christian


In my life I have accepted Christ as my savior. I worship Him through song and prayer and just being in church. I do not believe that worship is the way to God and to get into heaven.  Morality is also not the way to get into heaven.  Simply confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and has died for your sins and has risen again and you will be saved!

Rebutting the idea of Random Chance

It has been taught that life as we know it today has happened over millions of years by random chance and that we have just evolved from there.  In order to believe this you must assume that the earth is infinitely old because you never know how long it would take to "evolve" over that long period of time. Although with more recent studies done by scientists the earth is believed to be short of 5 billion years old.  Also with the time the earth spent cooling down from volcanic material the earth would be short of 400 million years of growing time.  The odds of creating a single protein are one chance in a 10 with 60 zeroes after it.  Sir Fredrick Hoyle said it would be like a tornado blowing through a  junkyard and building a fully functional 747 Jet.  The odds are next to impossible.  This is why we must look for a creator such as God.  His word clearly states what happened in the beginning. 

Redemption, Righteousness, and Worship


 Ravi Zacharias, a well known theologian says this quote about morality, “"Jesus Christ didn't come into this world to make bad people good. He cam into this world to make dead people live. He came so that those who are dead to God can come alive to God. If this life were only about morality, then how you live would still be connected to what you believe. But that misunderstands the Christian concept, which is no matter hoe well we live, we cannot live up to the standard and character of God."
He says, “Sin is means missing the mark and only by grace we are saved.” This is true because the Bible also says this in Ephesians 2:8, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”.
