Why I Believe in Christ Jesus
1: The Golden Rectangle
God is revealed in many ways, one being through nature. The golden rectangle is a shape that starts as one big rectangle. Then a line is drawn from side to side at exactly one third the length of said rectangle. This proses is repeated with the smaller rectangle multiple times. Once that is finished, a perfectly symmetrical curve is drawn from corner to corner until you reach the smallest box. This shape can be seen throughout creation in almost anything, from sunflowers to nautilus shells.
2: Historical Evidence
If you look at how many original copies found of ancient writings, you will find that the New Testament is the most accurate source of knowledge in the world.
2a: the earliest copy found was made fairly recently considering when it is thought to be written.
2b: the estimated timespan for writing it is fairly short.
2c: there have been almost twenty-five-thousand copies found throughout the world, and all of them say pretty much the same thing..
2d: many different books support the facts in the New Testament/Bible.
3: Personal Experience
God has saved me and my family multiple times, sometimes from bad habits or choices, to saving our lives. In July of 2018, my older sister was getting ready to return home from being a counselor at a Christian summer camp. She wanted to go with three of our friends, but our mom said no, even though they were well trusted and close friends. She did not go along with them, but as the three friends were pulling out of the camp, a truck hit the back door on the driver’s side of the car. The door along with the trunk where crushed. If someone was in sitting in that seat, they would have surly died. One of my friends was in the opposite seat with all of the bedding and suitcases in-between him and the left-hand door, saving his life. If My mother had said “yes” to my sister going with our friends, I would have lost my sister and/or one of my friends that day. Because of God stirring my mom’s heart to say no, my older sister and my best friends are still alive today.
4: Science and God
Science cannot exist or advance without God. People use stuff like the Big Bang “Theory” to explain the universe without God, even though there is not enough evidence to support that Hypothesis. God made the universe, there is no denying it. There is absolutely no way that the cosmos was formed by the big bang hypothesis! There is literally a one in 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 123, that is 1 followed by 10 to the 123rd power zeros chance that it actually happened! (This probability was calculated by a professor from Oxford University).

But real quick, I have a little something I want you to try. Read Ephesians chapters 1-2, underline what God says about himself, and circle what he says about you. I did this literally last night at my Campus Life group, and it was powerful. You don't have to try it, I just thought I would tell you about it.
Yeah....but it's good to keep in mind that The Bible doesn't necessarily have to be correct all the time. What was written down was the common theory at the time, and doesn't have to be the truth and nothing but the truth, though of course it is filled with bits of truth, human error is still possible. That's why Christianity (specifically Catholicism, going into maybe-this-is-only-me-cause-I'm-Catholic territory) has traditions and prayer to speak directly with God instead of going through a "messenger" of sorts. If that makes any sense. Sorry, I love explaining my faith and debating cause I ramble a lot, hope I did something useful/said something interesting!
(I'm awkward...)
