No.22 A young autistic boy called Max.

After a Prison term the late Chuck Colson was ministering in prisons all over the world.

In Colson and Yancey p.143 we have his summation of her experience with this young boy, "God knew when He created Max that he would need extra help in this world., so God keeps His Hands cupped around Max. He doesn't let him go. I know that wherever Max is, God is holding him gently in His hands. How could a child who is held by God be anything but a gift?" How Precious!Max was born after a frightening long labour and difficult birth. He just loves people and is at hit happiest when in the middle of a group of other kids.

The fact is that Max has touched more lives than any other little guy I know. But Max is exactly the kind of child that the modern eugenics crowd would snuff out while still in the womb - or, if his "defect" couldn't be detected there, then on the delivery table. Or even if others had their way, in the first weeks of life.

The truth is that the culture of death has taken a firm grip on the minds and hearts of otherwise responsible people in every walk of life.

Christians need to form a front-line of defence for the young Maxes of this world.
Deformity of the SOUL.
The real Problem is not the deformity of the body; it's the deformity of the soul.

In a word, it's SIN. Anyone who harbours an idealistic urge to improve the human race out to look not to eugenics as Hitler did,  BUT TO THE MEANS FOR HEALING THE HUMAN SINFUL HEART.  divine healing. Word Origin. noun. healing through divine intervention as in response to prayer or because of faith. a method employing prayer or faith in the hope of receiving such healing.

Yet the very notion of SIN is unpalatable to the modern mind.
As a result, many of the brightest Western Thinkers have constructed a great Myth to avoid facing the truth about Sin and Guilt. This myth, more than anything else, has brought unimaginable havoc and misery to this world.

No.9. How did the whole Universe Begin?

Notes from Colson p.57 -67 Scientists  have completely reversed their theories in the past few decades. They thought for ages that the Physical Universe was eternal and therefore needs no 'creator'. Now they postulate that the universe did have an ultimate origin and that it began at a finite time in the past - just as the Bible teaches. Many ancient cultures believed that the material from which the Universe came was eternal. However, today "the indestructibility or permanence of matter" is a scientific fact" wrote a 19th Century proponent of materialism. For many years that is how things stood. Any thought of a Creator and the earth having a beginning was just bare religious faith standing in lonely opposition to established science. Now in the 20th Century several sources of new evidence appeared : the implications from general relativity theory that the Universe is expanding; that some stars exhibit "red shift", implying that they are moving out...

No.10. The Birth of the Universe (cont.)

Notes from CREATION Magazine. Big Bang Universe by Jonathan Safati. The Currently leading Cosmogony (Gk. "birth of the universe") is the big bang theory.  This basically says, ' Nothing exploded and became everything'. One part of this energy became matter as per the famous Einstein formula E=mc2. However, when this occurs, the standard laws of Particle Physics state that    an equal amount of matter and antimatter must be produced.    Yet our universe comprises overwhelmingly of matter, with only rare and fleetingly short-lived antimatter particles, produced for example in experimental high energy collisions.  These are of the same mass but opposite charge (if the particle is charged) and magnetic moment as the corresponding matter particle . They soon interact and are mutually annihilated - anti-electron with an electron, anti-proton with proton, anti-neutron with neutron etc. How did matter survive annihilation from an equal amount of anti-matter....

No.26. The Problem of a Good GOD and the Presence of EVIL (cont.)

Notes Taken from Colson and Pearcey pps 209 and 210  #2      Deny that suffering and evil even exist.   Some people try to solve the problem of evil and suffering on earth saying they are merely illusions created by their own minds. Christian Science Monitor                              At Christian Scientists' meeting,  This is the strategy adopted by Christian Science and by some Eastern religions. Hinduism say that the physical universe is all an Illusion (maya) and that suffering of the body is just a misconception of the MIND. If we just train ourselves to think correctly, we can overcome all suffering through realising it does not exist. [Maya]  According to many schools of Hinduism , the world is an illusion, a play of the supreme consciousness of God. It is a projection of things and forms that are temporarily phenomenal and sustain the illusion of onen...
