Purely materialistic scientists believe that 'man is the result of a purposeless and natural process that did not have him in mind.'** That makes you feel special, doesn't it? When they say this they have left the realm of science and entered the realm of faith, because that is an untestable position. These scientists believe that life spontaneously generated from nonliving matter. One of the factors that drives the space program is the need to find life elsewhere in the universe. I'm not much of a scientist, but my response to the materialist is, "If life evolved from nonliving matter then demonstrate it in the lab. Surely, with all of our knowledge and technology, we should be able to duplicate the nonlife to life process." It has not been done, but wouldn't it be great if it could? Our seedstock companies would love it.
The Bible says that God created us in His image; that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). The Bible says that God loves us and that Jesus died on the cross for our sins! (Romans 5:8). That makes you feel special! Why do I believe it? Because according to credible witnesses, Jesus rose from the dead. The truth of all we believe rests on that event (I Corinthians 15:14). By the way, that event is repeatable as we will rise from the grave some day.
God created us for a purpose. God loves us enough to sacrifice for us in Jesus. This is what we celebrate as we gather at the Lord's Table.
