Why is There Life?
Science and faith intersect at the question of origins. We have already examined the origin of the universe so in this series we will explore the origin of and immense variety of life. Did it all come about by random mutations and natural selection or is a Life Giver the real cause?

Why do We Reason?

Why do We Care?
If evolution is true and survival of the fittest is the rule of the day then why do we have compassion? Why do we care about justice? Why do we want the weak protected and the evil punished? It doesn?t make any sense?.unless. Unless our desire for justice and compassions reveals the character traits of a just and compassionate Creator.
