The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
—Psalm 14:1
On the table is a bowl. In it are ten slips of paper, numbered from 1 to 10. If you reach in and draw one, the chance of drawing number 1 on the first try is 1 in 10. The chance of drawing 1 and 2 in succession is 1 in 100—and of drawing 1, 2, and 3 in succession is 1 in 1,000. The possibility of drawing all 10 in succession is 1 in 10 billion. At one second per draw, that would take 318 years.
What is the likelihood that you accidentally came together in your present form? Beyond calculation. Consider this: your brain controls over 100 billion nerve cells and generates more electrical impulses each day than all of the world’s telephones combined.
“I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me” (Ps. 139:14 CEV).
God thought of you. Then made you.
The only you in the world.
