@Denesa Christmas Greetings and a wonderful 2010 to you, Denesa!

@Vincenti What you said reminds me of a saying: the gospel message is shallow enough for a child to swim in, but deep enough to drown a theologian. Sometimes people over analyze and miss the simple message of redemption. Blessings to you and yours!

@Bukmacher Thank you for commenting from Poland! Blessed holidays to you and yours too.

@Deb S To you too, Deb! Happy 2010 too.

Case in point.

We were watching a commercial the other day showing a new toy, perhaps you’ve seen it, the robotic hamster.

A secular professor was there as well, and I asked him whether he felt the toy could have evolved naturally given enough time, in the way he posits our world evolved.

To our surprise he responded, no, of course not. Look at the little gears and the plastic housing. There isn’t any way that that could have happened for example in the oceans of our world or on dry land for that matter.

However, we pointed out, the person explaining the plastic toy was a billion times more complex. We challenged the professor and with a straight face, he said. Yes, but the woman explaining the hamster toy is living, and therefore, evolution is the answer. All by chance.

Of course, this is simply another example of the “found watch” story where someone finds a watch and knows for sure there was an intelligent designer involved.

It’s remarkable to me that secular humanists have closed off a banger for the big bang, but would never admit that a book they are holding could have been formed accidentally given enough time. A book, a trillion times less complex than the being holding it, but the secular professor insists we are simply accidents of nature. Same with the entire planet and its beauty.

Why would such a person be deemed an intellectual? Now that’s a mystery to me.

It’s one thing to be agnostic. But to be an absolutist in the face of evidence to the contrary does not seem to be a very enlightened position.

You’ve quoted some of my favorite Scriptures, reminding us of the real meaning of Christmas.

Joy and peace to you and your family.
