why do you believe in Christanity?
Why do you believe in the Bible?

(Had to list these so I could remember them all!)
When I was younger and "searching" and thought I knew everything, I did question the Christian faith; even though I had been raised in a baptist church all my life (am still a Baptist to answer the denomination question.) Questions like "what if there is no God?", "What if the other religions are right and we're wrong?", "what if there's no heaven and death is the end?" used to haunt me.
But I heard a song by an accapella group called the Nylons (not Christian BTW) called "This Island Earth" - in the bridge it says, "If you're looking for a miracle open up your eyes, there was one this morning just about sunrise, dawn came breaking like a wave on the sea, and it's there for you and me."
it got me thinking that there is too much in this world to be left up to chance, science can explain "why" everything happens, but can it explain "how" everything started to begin with? No, not really. I've seen how the human body is put together in sugery, that's too much for "chance" - a Designer did that. And as for eternity; to put it quite simply - if i am wrong and there is no heaven, I lose nothing. But if others are wrong and there is... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
