6: Redondo Beach Pier: Meet at Hope Chapel at noon to carpool
13: 3rd St. Promenade: NEW TIME: Meet at Hope at 10am
I preached a sermon a couple of weeks ago based on Psalm 139. Here’s an excerpt that will prove to atheists that I am not against science at all. At the end of the excerpt you can read the sermon in its entirety or watch it or listen to it online.
Have you stopped to consider the piece of work you are?
Just consider the human cell: A single DNA molecule contains 20 billion bits of information. How much is that? Its equivalent, if it were written down in an ordinary printed book, would be about three billion letters.
If there are approximately six letters in an average word, the information content of that DNA molecule corresponds to about 500 million words.
If there are about 300 words on an ordinary page of printed type, this corresponds to about two million pages.
If a typical book contains 500 such pages, the information content of a single human DNA molecule corresponds to some 4,000 volumes.
“It is clear, then, that the sequence of rungs on our DNA ladders represents an enormous library of information. It is equally clear that so rich a library is required to specify as exquisitely constructed and intricately functioning an object as a human being.”
Do you know who gave that great quote?
Atheist Tuesday: The Drowning Woman
Our evangelism teams preach the Gospel in many ways: from the tops of walls to inside elevators; at bus stops, inside restaurants, outside beer gardens, in front of the Department of Motor Vehicles and outside Social Security offices. “Why?” some would ask. In answer to that question, and in response to a few insults directed at me after posting two articles called “The Shaadaap! Game” and “Jerky Evangelism,” here’s my response.
A man was out sailing just off the coast of the Big Island when he saw what appeared to
be a woman swimming next to her capsized catamaran.
“Are you okay?” he shouted as he slowly sailed by.
“I’m good,” she replied.
“You sure?” he asked again.
“I’m very good!” she assured him.
