   When you look at the fine-tuning of our universe,   
   the odds that it happened without a Creator are   
   infinitesimally small. Just a tiny percentage of   
   difference in the power of gravity, and the solar   
   system would not exist -- and we would not exist.   
      
   Most the Earth a small percentage of distance   
   further or closer to the sun, and we wouldn't   
   exist.   
      
   Take away the Earth's magnetic field, and the Sun   
   would blow away our atmosphere. There are SO many   
   reasons to believe in a Creator, a person would   
   have to be willfully blind to be able to ignore   
   them.

   The Bible has proven itself to be true, with its   
   record of accuracy in all the prophecies that were   
   written in advance, and have become reality.

   Whatever you just referred to, no other historical   
   book has achieved the level of prominence that the   
   Bible has achieved. There is a reason for that, and   
   just because you dismiss it, your dismissal doesn't   
   take any of that prominence away from the Bible.

   Actually, the more science learns, the more science   
   and the Bible are in alignment.
