My two or three things with God

The first official service was in New Jersey, visiting a friend who lived in rural New Jersey. It is indeed the Garden State, and the forest is not as beautiful as the human world. Residents of the town have to drive to visit each other, but the church provides four chapels in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and children on weekends. You can see the prosperity of the local church. The pastor's explanation of the Bible's teachings is exquisite and fascinating.

Taking advantage of this momentum, he returned to China and joined a small religious circle created by Americans living in China. And then we find that there is a fundamentalist frenzy implicit from here. Specifically, it is an attack against a doctrine, such as the theory of evolution. And it is to oppose science by means of science. For example, a large number of arguments are presented to refute the theory of evolution. Just like the content of this film, when I saw the first paragraph, I knew I was going to talk about the theory of evolution, and it really was from the beginning to the end. After so many years, the statement has not changed at all.

I didn't think so at the time. As a science and engineering man, I naturally know that the fundamental difference between science and religion is that science can, dare, and is keen to falsify. You put God in a proof question and use it to fight the science you hate. Isn't that blasphemy? Just like the classmates in the film finally use "Professor hates God" to prove that God is not dead, because you can't hate something that doesn't exist. I also have to say that because "you hate the theory of evolution", it seems impossible to pray for God's help to send all sinners to heaven, so I have to take up the weapon of science to fight against science.

You must know that for thousands of years, scientific authority has never been overthrown. Modern Newtonian classical physics was overthrown by modern physics in less than a hundred years. Einstein’s theory of relativity has been overthrown by quantum physics in modern times. Science is obtained by constantly denying the prophets, so I think it is powerless for religion to attack science with what science is best at.

Take the theory of relativity, for example. Many years ago, religions questioned the theory of relativity. For example, how could an organ as complex as the eye possibly evolve? Then the theory of relativity can immediately deduce special cases. For example, some fish have thousands of degenerated and useless organs in the eyes, which shows the diversity of evolutionary attempts. You may want to question diversity. The theory of evolution can deduce that dragonflies. Hundreds of dragonflies of the same size, with eyes ranging from a pair of human-like eyes to 48,000 independent eyes on each side, are evolutionary choices.

This war of words is meaningless. I thought about the theory of relativity later, a philosophy professor should not sing with the classmates, and should ask the teacher of the biology department to debate...

And for this film, I originally thought that the process should be a kind of challenge to young students. A kind of exploration full of encouragement, but did not expect to become the ending of the evil professor being defeated by the righteous youth mentor. What's more, the professor's portrayal is bossy, lustful and mean. The portrayal of Islam is also violent when the

last professor died in a car accident, and in great pain, the priest asked him to repent. He endured great pain so that he could accept the Lord before he died. In fact, I still sympathize with the professor. He endured great pain in his life, but the final redemption came only when he had nothing, the most painful time. I sincerely pray for him to be truly redeemed.

This is probably why the devil's cell is so attractive. Life, isn't it just living in a misty phantom and unable to extricate oneself? And the pain of sobriety is so unbearable..

For me, I didn't choose the domestic church or Catholicism, it's too political

. I'm also not interested in fundamentalist Christianity, because I'm too lazy to distinguish the authenticity of science

but believe it Lord Jesus Christ, not for this illusory glory, but when you come to the end, all disillusionment, facing the great and helpless pain like a professor...

God's Not Dead quotes

  • Reverend Dave: [Josh is sitting in a pew in the church when the preacher walks in] Waiting for someone?

    Josh Wheaton: Yeah, you could say that. It looks like he's out at the moment.

    Reverend Dave: Well, maybe that's why he sent me.

  • Josh Wheaton: I could drop the class, run away, pretend like it never happened, which is what my girlfriend wants. I could sign the paper saying something I don't believe. Or I commit academic suicide in front of a live audience by trying to prove that God exists.

    Reverend Dave: How many people in that class?

    Josh Wheaton: Eighty maybe.

    Reverend Dave: And how may of them do you think would ever step foot in here, or any other church for matter?

    Josh Wheaton: Well, none probably.

    Reverend Dave: So, your acceptance of this challenge, if you decide to accept it, may be the only meaningful exposure to God and Jesus they'll ever have.

    Josh Wheaton: Yeah. Yeah, I suppose so.

    Reverend Dave: Check out Matthew 10:32-33.

    Josh Wheaton: What, that's it? That's all?

    Reverend Dave: Yeah.

    [gets up to leave]

    Josh Wheaton: Just a Scriptural citation?

    Reverend Dave: If you're still undecided after that one, look at Luke 12:48.

    Josh Wheaton: It can't be that simple.

    Reverend Dave: Sure it can. You're here because that still small voice inside you isn't happy with the choices everyone else wants you to make. Personally, I think it's the Holy Spirit talking to you. That's how He interacts with us if we allow him to. All you have to do is decide whether or not you're willing to listen. It's not easy, but it's simple.
