But the final nail in the coffin of Larry Sanger’s dwindling resistance to belief in God, came when he began to study the Bible.

“I adopted the YouVersion Bible app”, Larry writes, “and immediately made Bible study a serious hobby.”

“I found the Bible far more interesting and—to my shock—coherent than I was expecting. I found it could sustain interrogation; who knew?” 

Larry set out to re-examine the arguments for the existence of God. Then, as he began to read the gospels, he was converted “quiet and uncomfortable” to Christianity,

We asked the question – where in the Bible would you take someone to demonstrate the unconditional love of God. I think the conclusion was just about anywhere. God is love and the Bible is a book demonstrating persistent love to humans and the love shown is always unconditional. Blessings might come with a caveat but the love is , to use a biblical word, everlasting.

On October 6, 1536, William Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake for translating the Scriptures into English for the common man. He was accused of heresy and given an opportunity to recant, but used his last words to pray with a loud voice, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes!”

Within four years of his death, several English translations of the Bible were published in England at the King’s request, all based on Tyndale’s work.

Flowering plants appeared on Earth relatively recently on a geological timescale, then swiftly diversified in an explosion of colour, shape and form.

“In the fossil record they appear very suddenly in the Cretaceous, , and they appear in considerable diversity,” (in keeping with what its says in Genesis 1 )

Darwin was deeply bothered by how flowering plants conquered the world seemingly in the blink of an eye, This problem preyed his mind in his final months.”

So we ask an evolutionary biologist. IS THE MYSTERY SOLVED?

In short, no. “One hundred and forty years later, the mystery’s still unsolved,”

For everyone who has prayed sometime in their life this must be part of their experience of praying
