Hasn't science disproved the Bible and therefore God?
No science hasn't disproved God. There are things in the Bible which science has no answer for but that is not the same as disproving it. In the same way events happen today which science has no answer for. Much of the Bible is grounded on good science. There is also a need for God in the heart of every man.

Evolution is proven so why do we need a God?
Evolution is not fact, it has never been scientifically proven and remains a theory. It takes faith to believe in evolution as it does in creation. In fact the complexity of the created world argues for an intelligent creator rather than a sequence of random genetic mutations.

How do we know what's in the Bible isn't made up?
There is in fact more textual evidence about events in the bible than there is that Caesar lived and ruled the Roman Empire. Also secular historians in Egyptian and Roman civilisations made reference to events which happened in the Bible.

How can there be a God when there is so much suffering?
suffering is a result of mans decisions. When God originally made the earth everything it is was perfect and there was no suffering. However, due to mankind's decision to rebel against God and insist that we knew best the perfect world God had made for man was damaged. We live in that damaged world with all the consequences that brings; pain sickness and death. It is not that God doesn't care what happens to us but that he does not want to run our lives for us, making our decisions. Suffering also provides us with the opportunity to recognise what our sin has done and turn to God.

Wasn't Jesus just a prophet?
Jesus himself taught that he was more than just a prophet "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me." Jesus teaching doesn't leave room for him to be a good man, a prophet or a teacher. He was the Son of God who came to save us from our sins.

If the Bible is true why doesn't it doesn't mention dinosaurs?
The Bible does not specifically mention dinosaurs, but it also doesn't specifically mention other animals which were around at the time of these events. Just because they aren't overtly identified doesn't compromise the bible's message. The bible is concerned with turning lost mankind back to God by calling us to repent of our sins and cry out to God for forgiveness and a relationship with him.

I live a good life so won't I go to heaven anyway?
Sadly no. The Bible clearly teaches that only those who have repented of their sins and turned to God will go to heaven when they die. This is why it is so vital to read what the Bible has to say about our sinful nature and act on Jesus teaching. The gospel of Luke is a good place to start reading.

Isn't the Bible full of children's stories?
The Bible does contain some very colourful children's stories. But all these stories have meaning and reveal something about either mankind's sad state before God or Gods love for us. The teaching of the Bible has implications for everyone in every age, teaching us about living in society, relationships, love, depression, family life and most importantly our need of Jesus to die for our sins.
