Contemplating God

Hi, So I'm reading this book called 'God Actually' by Roy Williams. I was in the library when I saw it sitting on the returned books shelf. You see, even though I know what I believe in, and it all works out in my head, I've always found it hard to articulate them out loud; to other people. Which is kinda what I'm meant to do as a Christian... So I thought the book would help. It has. It's very interesting and puts things into perspective. Though there are chunks that I don't understand... BUT it kinda makes me feel like an intellectual. :) And it's funny. Just when I started reading the part of the book that explains life, and the Big Bang and evolution, we happen to be learning about DNA in science. Which gives me a little more information and vocabulary to understand that chapter. It also just so happens that we are discussing this exact topic in Christian studies. And we watched a documentary about the Big Bang theory, which was pretty much what Williams was trying to explain in one of the chapters. And Williams also references Romeo & Juliet, when he's explaining how the existence of love points to God's existence. And whaddoya know, we're reading R&J in English. To an outsider perhaps, it'll probably seem like coincidences. Or maybe I'm just digging too deep and looking into things too much. But somehow, I don't think so.. Obviously God's telling me something. Whatever it is. I would recommend this book to anyone. Christian or not, it really puts things into perspective. My favourite line so far (about the Big Bang theory): 'It is absurd to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.' I'm only halfway through, but I've already learnt mountain of information. Half of which probably won't stay in my little head. But still. :) Contemplative, Erica
