Enjoying the Bible

Read an article on "Creationism yet to earn intellectual spurs" from TODAY dated 2 Oct 2012.

The theory of evolution is part of an experiment science; Biology, with robust, abundant and mutually supporting evidence. Although every detail of its processes could not be explained and there are disagreements on these details, the theory of evolution is unlikely to be overturned. The only objections to evolution are theological. Even if the evolution theory is indeed overturned, creationism will not become the default explanation for the origin of species. It must exhibit evidential merits.

Creationism is supported by biblical evidence as elaborated by Dr Henry M Morris, a scientist himself, in his book entitled “The Genesis Record – A Scientific and Devotional Commentary on the Book of Beginnings”.

For natural evidence, one may like to read “Why Evolution is True” by Professor Jerry A Coyne.

Labor Pains

John 16:21-22 likened Jesus' disciples to a woman in labor.

²¹A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief (anguish, agony) because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers her pain (trouble, anguish) because she is so glad that a man (a child, a human being) has been born into the world.

²²So for the present you are also in sorrow (in distress and depressed); but I will see you again and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one can take from you your joy (gladness, delight).

John 16:33 is the epidural:

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
