Restoration Church - Sermon 9/18/16
Sermon: "Is There a God?" Is there a God? Does he care for us? As we look around at our world and the universe, do we see evidence of God? Are there things within us and around us that point to the existence of God?

Dear God, I read the Bible. What does “begat” mean? Nobody will tell me. Love, Alison
God, I bet it’s very hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it. —Frank
Dear God, Are you really invisible, or is that just a trick? —Lucy
Did you really mean ‘Do unto others as they do unto you’? Because if you did, then I’m going to fix my brother.” —Darla
God, it’s okay that you made different religions, but don’t you get mixed up sometimes? —Arnold
Dear God, How come you did all those miracles in the old days, but don’t do any now?—Seymour
Dear God, I wish there was no such thing as sin. I wish there was no such thing as war. —Tim
Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. —Larry

"There are many . . . lucky accidents in physics. Without such accidents, water could not exist as liquid, chains of carbon atoms could not form complex organic molecules, and hydrogen atoms could not form breakable bridges between molecules"
Freeman Dyson
“When you look from the perspective of a scientist at the universe, it looks as if it knew we were coming. There are 15 constants – the gravitational constant, various constants about the strong and weak nuclear force, etc. – that have precise values. If any one of those constants was off by even one part in a million, or in some cases, by one part in a million million, the universe could not have actually come to the point where we see it. Matter would not have been able to coalesce, there would have been no galaxy, stars, planets or people.”
Francis Collins
