Re: I love evolution it confirms how fantastic I am

I was the opposite as you:

My whole life I've had a hard time believing in a creator. When I was a kid my best friend and I used to spend hours laying in the grass and staring up at the sky. Once he asked me if I believed in God. I told him I did, but I lied. I lied because I WANTED to believe in God...however secretly I just couldn't. Even though my family went to church every sunday and I read and learned about God I just couldn't comprehend how it could all be true.

Nothing changed for the next 30 years. Unlike you, being an unbeliever all those years left me compeltely empty and lifeless. When I ate, I put my faith in junk food like chips and hot dogs and pizza. I also put faith in myself, thus I found it difficult to give or show love to others. And since I didn't believe the world was created I didn't give a second thought to the beauty of nature. I also seemed to have no faith in my future, and I always longed for the past.

But my world turned upside down 6 months ago when I started investigating cosmology, astronomy, physics, and DNA with vigor and determination to find an answer. I was soon convinced that every one of these pointed to an all-knowing Designer. One night I got on my knees and asked the Creator to add my name to His Book of Life.

Now I see the birds and trees and I smile in wonder. I see my kids and just melt. I kiss my wife and all is right in the world. I put food in my body that nourishes and makes me feel good. I look towards the future now with glee. I'm not afraid afraid of getting old or sick or dying anymore. There is something real in my heart that sings with joy. It's not faked or put on for display. It's the real thing.

I can't knock you for feeling the way you do about evolution. I've been there. But I experienced nothing until I acknowledge the One who created me and the Son who died on the cross for me. S
