God’s fiction

LETTER TO THE EDITOR - The Freeman

I believe in God and I believe in the Bible.  I came to know God through the Bible.  But even if there’s no Bible, I still believe in God.  However, the atheist use the Bible itself to discredit God and the Bible.  They say “If God has no beginning and no end, then it does not exist!”  Good logic.  But I still believe in God no matter what brilliant atheists say.

The accepted scientific fact is that Earth is 4.5 billion years old.  God must be older than that.  Because he created all things out of nothing.  One proof of the existence of God is this:  If we are familiar with the globe, the North pole is on top.  South pole is at the bottom.  The equator divides the Earth horizontally.  While the vertical line Greenwich Meridian and International Date Line divide the Earth into East and West sides.  When the earth rotates, the east does not always face the sun.  Conversely aside, there is a span of time when the West faces the sun in each rotation.  Four billion years ago, there should be that first rotation.  Who put the line dividing east and west side of earth?  Only God knows the answer.

By reading the Bible thoroughly, you can estimate the time that elapsed from one generation to the other.  From Adam to Christ, there were 74 generations.  Plus 2,000 years after death of Jesus.  If we put 1,000 years for each generation, 76,000 years already passed from the time mentioned in the book of Genesis as “IN THE BEGINNING...” But the best estimate is to put 500 years each generation.  So, more or less, Adam was created about 38,000 years ago.  And if you read carefully Genesis, Adam was created after God rested.  On the 6th day of creation, God already created human beings outside the Garden of Eden.  So Adam and Eve were not the first human beings.

We have to accept that the Bible was written long after the universe was created.  Long after Earth was already populated.  The stories in the Bible especially Genesis, could be fiction.  But it is God’s fiction.  And God has a good purpose in having it written.  There are however some people who became more evil after reading the Bible.  I believe Hitler had read the Bible.  And it became his inspiration for the Holocaust.

The Big Bang Theory is just a theory.  It was not proven.  The universe was not created by accident.  Accident has no logic or design.  The constellations were logically arranged and designed.  Who is the designer?  Only God knows the answer.

Read the Bible thoroughly and you will know who are the dishonest theologians and preachers.  They were the ones in power in the olden days and the ones holding the Bible without thoroughly reading it.  They disallowed others to read it.   Just like God prohibiting Adam and Eve from eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. But knowledge is power. How you use that power would show either you are a good or a bad person.
