IOW, often life itself will lead us to God.
He never happened.
It is tough for the temporal to grasp the eternal.
Since God is interested in every aspect of our lives, I want to say to anyone who is interested, that this a great time to buy stock. The last best opportunity to buy was in 2008-09.

No.It's a perfectly simple idea.We explain it to kids in Sunday school.Extrapolating doppler shift of spectroscopic measurements to establish when the universe came into being is a bit more difficult.Not usually primary school stuff.Your emperor must be getting cold,
Aha! So all the ill that befalls the innocent today is the fault of the guilty who have gone before. Doesn't sound much like the creation of a just (Old Testament) or merciful (New Testament) god. So what sort of deity do you have in mind? And why does he punish the Japanese with a tsunami or the Chinese with COVID when they have never heard the Word? What dreadful corporate sin had the children of Aberfan committed? Is it the consequence of a reasonable Creation or the work of a reasonable Creator that the species least likely to survive your cataclysm are other mammals, not the species that is responsible for it? And what sin precipitated the extinction of the dinosaurs, or the Ice Ages?Is death really that new, and limited to humans?
