Notes:

1. Cosmology: The Origin of the Universe

Whatever begins to exist has a cause.

The universe began to exist.

Therefore, the universe has a cause.

Genesis 1:1 (NIV)

Transcendent, spirit, eternal, powerful, smart, personal, creative, caring, and unique.

2. Physics: The Numbers Behind the Universe

Psalm 19:1 (NIV)

“The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the divine.” —Dr. Vera Kistiakowski, physics professor, MIT, and president of the Association of Women in Science

3. The Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:17 (NIV)

Jesus was definitely alive at Point A.

“Jesus did exist, whether we like it or not.” —Agnostic Historian Bart Ehrman

Jesus was surely dead at Point B.

“Clearly the weight of the historical and medical evidence indicates that Jesus was dead [even] before the wound to his side was inflicted.” —Journal of the American Medical Association

Jesus was alive again at Point C.

His tomb was empty.

His disciples were convinced He appeared to them.

“I say unequivocally that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.” —Sir Lionel Luckhoo

John 1:12 (NASB)

Believe + Receive = Become

“But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV)

“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5:13 (NASB)
