The Creator

We went to an interesting class in church today "The Case for a Creator/The case for Christ". While I am not very stimulated by science, I did gain some insight into the minds of skeptics. Most scientists will now agree that there was a definite beginning to the universe. If the universe is constantly expanding, physics tell us there had to be a beginning. At this point in the class the instructor takes us to the Bible : Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." To myself, as a believer this is a simple concept. However, believing in "a creator" or "divine power" or "a god" alone does not make a person a Christian. There is a huge distance between these two points. We can argue science, misconceptions about the bible and religious differences forever but none of these things can explain faith. I am now wondering how to soften their hearts for the personal experience and relationship they could have with God. It's not something you can reason out of a person.
