List some examples.Aside from the fine-tuning of the universe, how about the fine-tuning of the human body? The fact that everything works for a purpose and supports itself is amazing. I know it sounds gross, but I’m always fascinated by the idea of vomiting. If we get food poisoning, our body attempts to protect us by tossing the food back out to keep us healthy. Our body acts like our own personal bouncers to keep the bad things out and good things in. I think only someone like God could design something so perfect.

We could stop right now, because nothing is true. It would also indicate that we are still living in sin and we are all condemned to hell.

Why or why not?I believe at some point most of us have questioned the accuracy of the Bible. I certainly have. I doubted the story of the flood or the story of Adam and Eve, because they didn’t make sense to me. It wasn’t until I started to read more of the Bible that I began to understand the context of the text.

When I was younger, I imagined God in a particular way, but when God didn’t meet those expectations, I began to doubt His abilities and overall love. In time, I gained more knowledge on God and I stopped doubting. I learned that I didn’t really know who God was and it was my fault for not taking the time to learn.
