A WORD FROM LOGAN...
I work in a profession where I am one of few Christians in
my department. Most are either agnostic or atheist, and
when you work in these conditions, “the talk” inevitably
comes up. I also work in an environment where one’s
intellect dictates his or her professionalism. That being
said, you are constantly trying to be the smartest guy in
the room. Something interesting happened to me the
other day. I was asked, “Don’t you feel like we have
evolved past God?” and “Can you even prove why you
believe in God without the Bible?”
At first, I was insulted. I immediately thought to myself,
“Why is it that in an establishment where free thought is
supposed to be promoted, I’m the moron for having faith?”
After I took a breath, I asked my co-worker if I could give
him all of the reasons why I believe in a “higher power,”
without the use of the Bible.
And so, it went something like this:

Update
Let’s take our creation--no matter what science has to say
on the subject, there is an agreement on a chain of
events, and the farther and farther that we go back, we
start to see the beginning of time on earth spanning for
millions and millions of years. Now, hold that thought.
Let’s take a look at our solar system. We live on a floating
rock in space that is just close enough to a star that we
don’t freeze to death and yet far enough away that we
aren’t burned alive. Earth is equipped with: magnetic fields
that deflect solar flares that could otherwise kill us; an
o-zone layer that protects us from deadly ultraviolet
radiation; an asteroid belt that keeps other asteroids from
hitting our atmosphere (as well as the gravitational pull of
Jupiter and Saturn); and a moon that keeps the tides from
flooding our planet. After all of that our planet-created
life-forms question their own existence? Don’t you realize
that the chances of all of that happening again anywhere
in our galaxy are nearly impossible?!
I know that I said I would leave the Bible out of this, but
here are just a few of the instances where the Bible
proved something right, before human thought--earth
floating through space, the concept of atoms, washing our
hands, isolating human waste, oceans containing springs,
mountains on the ocean floor, blood being the source of
life, our bodies are made of elements found in the dirt;
earth is a sphere; light can be divided; ocean currents

Logan’s article continued...
follow paths; stars are innumerable—just to name a few.
The fact is that my scientific belief revolves around the
concept of intelligent design; my FAITH is that God is the
one whose intelligence created us.
