I read a news article recently about a father who slaughtered his own children to spite his wife who had left him, he killed his 10 year old girl and a 13 year old boy by cutting their throats. I thought to myself, how evil, how heartless and inhuman was this man, he brutally murders his own children to spite his wife! The other thing I thought when I saw his picture was why didn't he take his own life, he does not deserve to live by my moral scale and am sure it's the same for everyone else who reads this story, he is evil and must not be allowed to live.

Then I thought, if he did kill himself, then he would have actually got away with it, according to evolutionists who say we came about as a result of a sudden action out of nothing and we will die and go back to nothingness, after all there is no afterlife where you get to answer for all your crimes. All the unrepentant evil people that have been and will be, all those that have committed atrocious crimes and killed themselves, left us to mourn the loss of our loved ones, they will have got away with it, we didn't manage to administer justice on them on this earth and as there is no God, so then there is no eternal justice. Hitler who instigated the murder of millions of people, those evil suicide bombers, the serial murderers, the Virginia tech Columbine shooters, the baby rapers and killers, they have all got away with it, this I refuse to accept with all my being.

Then I thought about the family of the victims, the mother who lost her children to this evil man, the pain of the loss must be crippling, she labored for those children, she spent a short time with them only for them to be mercilessly and brutally taken away from her. As per evolutionist and Richard Dawkins, she will never get to see her children smile again or hear them giggle with excitement. That brief moment in the space of eternity that she spent with them is all that there is, never ever again will she be able to look at them proudly, that's it according to evolutionists and those who laugh at the idea of an afterlife. I will never get to see my grandmother again, those little memories of her that I cherish with all my heart will but cease to exist once my time has come, if that's the case then there is no point to this life.

If all that we do is nothing but ephemeral, fleeting useless moments that come and go like the morning mist, if we are nothing but accidents and when we die, we return to, well, nothing, then life as a whole is not worth living. There is no cause for morality, kindness, love, mercy or charity, it is all pointless, I might as well go ahead and commit the most heinous crimes, I mean, what's the worst than can happen, I get arrested and spend the rest of my short life in a cell and eventually die, whether I die now or in the next 30 years, it's still pointless. I mean, there is no afterlife anyway, I cease to be, so I need not worry about doing good, not even living for my family or anybody else, who cares right? when we die, we won't know each other, maybe all those crazy serial killers and other nut jobs have got it right after all, they are the smart ones, even though that's also pointless, because once they die, their smartness means nothing, they won't remember it and neither will we at some point.

All this I refuse to believe. They say science has killed God but what they don't realize is that we all need this God to be true, to have a plan for all the things that are going on in this world especially now. Believing that there's a God is the only way to add meaning and context to this otherwise meaningless life. All those evil people need to pay for their crimes and I believe that they will, my hope is that this God that I believe in has a plan and a purpose for my life. I want to see my grandmother again, i want her to sing my favorite song, i want to meet my grandfather who i have heard so much about, there has to be something else to this existence, this just cant be it. The soul is just like energy, it cannot be destroyed, it just changes form and I believe that even after we die, our thoughts and our minds which make up the soul live on and this is what will be judged.

My hope of all hopes is in God as there is no other plausible alternative. I cannot believe what evolutionists say about the origins of life, evolution just does not explain why there is life. Yes, I can understand that evolution is a means by which organism change from one state to another but it only works on something that already exist, it cannot create from nothing and so I find it hard to believe that evolution is the all-encompassing explanation for why there is life, that's a hard pill to swallow. I would rather believe in something like aliens came and left us here or that we live in a box under little Johnny's bed. To think that we as human beings with our complex makeup of tissue and bones coupled with thoughts and emotions came about as a result of a sudden explosion, even that does not make sense in itself, that big bang explosion could not have happened on it's own. It is science after-all that says all actions must follow the law of cause and affect, but somehow, does that make the big bang exempt from this law? No, sorry, I don't buy that, I would rather believe that there is a God who purposely created man and gave us our minds, our emotions, the ability to love and perceive beauty, these are the things that cannot evolve out of matter, they are intangible.

I am a simple man with nothing to hold on to but hope in God, I know nothing about astrophysics or quantum mechanics, I don't know what the Higgs Boson is and what part that plays in this world. I walk around everyday without a worry, i don't let things get to me all the time, I never get in a state of hopelessness because I have a hope in something higher than myself, this is what keeps me going and gives me faith, the fact that there is a God and one day this temporary life on this earth will come to and end and my soul will continue on in bliss for eternity, surely that's gotta give you some hope. With this hope, I know that what I see now, the worst things that I have to endure now will be the worst that it will ever be (either way), the best is yet to come, I don't have to worry myself sick all the time, this is my secret, that's why people often wonder why I never let things trouble me. I have a hope, what is your hope in?
