This is the first part of the third talk in the evangelical series following our "Open Sunday" in January 2009. The series was intended to give visitors (particularly non-Christian visitors) the chance to get to know us, and to understand some of the things we believe.
In this talk, Mark spoke on the topic "Can a rational person believe in God and Jesus?".
In this first part of the talk, he covered the improbability of the first "living thing" coming about by chance; about the improbability of the right conditions being in place; about the lack of evidence for "information adding, positive mutations" and the vast number of positive mutations that would actually be needed for evolution; about the lack of evidence in the fossil record for continual change (i.e. the lack of "transitional forms" or "missing links"); about evidences relating to the age of the earth; and about the concept of multi-universes (or "mulitverses") that have been postulated by cosmologists who don't accept the possibility of God's existence.
