From my friend Bill:

1) Billions of years ago, there just happened to exist these abstract “somethings”
2) Which just happened to be atoms
3) Which just happened to get together
4) In ways which just happened to look like natural laws
5) That some of these configurations of atoms just happened to develop into stars
6) That some other configurations of atoms which just happened to be planets
7) Just happened to form around these stars
8) That one of these planets just happened to be exactly the right distance from its star that water could exist in a liquid state
9) That this particular planet just happened to have certain exact concentrations of carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen
10) That some of these molecules of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen just happened to get together
to form amino acids
11) That some of these amino acids just happened to develop the ability to reproduce themselves
12) That some of these organisms just happened to develop the ability to evolve into more complex
organisms
13) That some of these organisms just happened to develop self-awareness and personality

14) And that one of these self-aware organisms just happens to be you.

Brother, if you can believe that, all I can say is: “Great is thy faith!”

    The obvious fact that something must have intentionally started things out of nothing is enough to prove a “God” creator force did it. How that force did it and what happened after that is what we are discovering. What happened after a man and woman first sinned until today is salvation history and I believe the answer is in the Catholic Church, that Christ, the key figure in that history started. That is my simple summary and why I am proud to be Catholic.
