In fact, the basis for faith in God, for me, is logic. He is the Author of Logic. I doubt anyone, even gato, would believe me if I said I found a watch on the beach and it had evolved itself from nothing over millions of years. Clearly it was designed. My kids’ Lego pirate ship wouldn’t build itself no matter how long I threw Legos up in the air (not to mention the origin of the Legos). But infinitely complex living creatures were assembled by random processes? No random process creates order upon order. Nope-Designer. The God of the Bible alone is perfect, has perfect standards (He can’t help it that He’s perfect, but He is). When He made a perfect world with ONE rule, He knew His children would break the rule. He had a plan to pay the price (perfect justice demands payment) Himself. All He asks is that you recognize Him for Who He is. Then you can’t help but love Him back. The Bible is a gorgeous love story of rebellious people over eons making messes by their own rebellion, not God’s. He warns them, cautions them, lets them make messes, then saves them (spiritually and eternally, often but not necessarily temporally), anyone who believes in Him, from beginning to end. Christians know we can’t pay and we are grateful for His great Love. Open your minds honestly. Or just throw Legos up in the air for the rest of your life and see what you get. He loves you. I’ll take faith in that God any day. As James said, we all have faith in something.
