The other week at smallgroup we talked about John Dickson's Q&A appearance, specifically, his deft movement from talk about creation to talk about Jesus.
Often the whole science/creation/cosmology discussion comes up. It's not like we haven't thought about it, not like we haven't got some kind of opinion on it. But how to actually connect that conversation with talk of Jesus--the core of our faith? That's a tough one.
Dickson's example seems a good one to follow. He spoke (if I may risk a summary) of the order, beauty, etc. of the world around us and suggested that observing the world leaves him with a sense that there's a Designer/Creator. (Now the important bit). Then he asked whether we've seen evidence that such a Creator has touched the earth in some tangible way. For him, the person of Jesus (life, teaching, miracles, death, resurrection) is just such.
I agree
