Welcome everyone! I apologize for being out of touch lately. Life has been crazy. We had a gentleman put together a new website for us on Shopify for You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! This took a few months to get it just the way Lady Linda and I wanted it. Check it out at https://youreamazingandillproveit.com We are really happy to have a Dyslexic version of You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! You can order both the Dyslexic version and the original version, as well as get autographed copies. Both formats are also available on Amazon.
Back on January 16, 2020, I had posted part of this speech that I gave, as a blog, which was entitled Science Vs. God. The blog below is the full speech which I have entitled Science Proves You Are Made Of God – Pt. 1. I also made a video of this entitled Science Proves God Exists. It is a lot of fun and has been one of my most popular videos on YouTube. I will be reposting the video this week under the title Science Proves You Are Made Of God – Pt. 1.
Now for this week’s story:
Just three years after landing on the moon, NASA in 1972 launched the first spacecraft designed to probe space deep into our solar system.
As you know, the ability of science to mathematically predict where our spacecrafts will be is incredibly precise.
However, by 1980, just 8 years after the launch of Pioneer 10, scientists discovered the spacecraft was not where it was supposed to be. Not only was it short of where the scientists’ math had said it should be, but it was also slowing down.
Space was given the name “space” because it was thought to be empty. Scientists literally thought it was space. The dictionary definition of space is, “a continuous area or expanse which is free, available, or unoccupied.” Literary empty space.
However, Pioneer 10 was hitting something in space. After studying it for a while, the scientists discovered that Pioneer 10 was hitting a mysterious energy that permeated all of outer space. They also discovered this mysterious energy in the same intensity, permeating all of space.
I am not a religious man, but I am a spiritual man. My life has taught me that there is a higher power. I also believe in science.
So, the question I have is, can science and a person’s belief system coexist? If so, what would it mean to you personally?
When I was a young boy, I was taught that there is a God, and that God has five major characteristics.
- God is eternal – meaning God has always existed and always will exist.
- God is omnipresent – meaning God is everywhere at all times.
- God is omniscient – meaning God is all knowing.
- God is omnipotent – meaning God is all powerful.
- God can do anything – with God all things are possible.
When I was taught these things, they didn’t make sense, so as a six-year-old child I asked my teachers. I went to Catholic School. None of my teachers could answer my questions. In fact, they became angry with me for asking. Some of the teachers going so far as to start punching me in the head while screaming you just believe.
Needless to say, my faith had no answers,
Next, I asked science.
