God isn't logical Genesis 1

God isn't Logical

To get the most of our each study each chapter is linked at the bottom of the post.

If you stop and think about the God of the Bible, the creation story and the illogical love that the Bible says this One True God has for His creation, you would have to say that Christians are just a little bit crazy!
However is the alternative to creation any less crazy? In my opinion it is an even wackier tale?(no pun intended, get it; tail.?.evolution?..)  
To get really deep; How I came to be in existence is mind blowing in itself, however, as a created being, trying to figure out my creator and why He created myself won't work itself out in my head. 
So what conclusion do I draw from this? Since I can't force God to make sense, do I say He just doesn't exist?

I know that there are many extremely smart people madly trying to figure out  how we got here. They pose the question of  purpose and our care of the planet they call our Mother.  I have watched the Hubble telescope specials on the expansion of the glazy, and it is breathtaking. I love those specials. I don't agree with the conclusion of the producers, but I still love the specials.
Where we call into disagreement is the source of the power that started this amazing expanse, and how life is sustained on our planet.
 I believe God is who He is. He doesn't need me to prove it; He has already done that pretty effectively on His own. With that in mind I choose not to get into debates on this point. If asked I will simply state what I believe.

When Jesus walked the earth we don’t see Him trying to convince skeptics, He simply states who He is. Jesus spends His time going to those who are ready, hurting and searching. When Jesus encounters the religious leaders of the day and other proud skeptics he answers questions with beautifully chosen words, and leaves it at that. They can follow or not. He spends His short time He has on earth fulfilling prophecy, teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven, and submitting to His Fathers plan of redemption.
He offers relationship to honest searchers based on faith, nothing has changed.

If you are on a quest to prove creation or Gods existence solely with arguments and facts, good luck. My bet is that you will spend many frustrated years, with very few friends. Faith is not based on logic. It is logical, but that is logic is not it's center.

If you honestly want to know God, ask Him, He will answer you, He desire to be sought after. He gave all He could to know you, love you, and rescue you.

Creation is mind blowing, my existence is mind blowing. Not having an intelligent creator as the architect for these amazing events, is ludicrous!

• I believe the Bible is true; based on;The span and distance of the writers of The Bible in place and time (40 separate writers not connected in any way all writing in agreement with each other.)
• The prophecies and how Jesus fulfilled each of them with complete accuracy.

By Faith, I choose to credit God with the answers to my prayers and not happenstance. Others may choose to ignore what God has done or call it karma. The choice is yours.

I have made my choice.
I am betting on the fact that the creator has information that the created does not, and in my humble opinion, this amazing and intricate world we live in screams "created".

Cool Tidbits about Creation;

·         What I love about the creation story is that God is a God of order.

·         He creates the foundations and fills in the landscape then creates livings things, not the other way around.

·         We learn how to live out our lives from his careful planning, and preparation.

·         I love how the universe responds to his spoken word, and beauty was the result

·         I also love that he gives man purpose and creative outlet; name the animals and care for them, who knows how long that took?!?

·         Question? Why do you think God blessed the seventh day?

·         Question? Why do you think God chose to create the genders in different ways?

·         I do think it is interesting that he waited to allow man to; name all the animals, not find a suitable mate, and be lonely, before he filled his need (perfectly).
