About this episode
With a one-minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stonestreet with The Point. Recently, Christian writer Samuel Sey tweeted, "The question isn't: 'does God exist?' The question is: 'how could anything exist without God?'" Or, as Fraulein Maria sang in The Sound of Music, "Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could." Not only is there something (lots of them) in this world, but there is also consciousness, creativity, beauty, love, and order. These things say an awful lot about what kind of First Cause is required to bring all these somethings into existence. One Twitter user pushed back against Sey arguing that a more important question is, "What kind of people should we be?" Sey responded, "It's impossible to know what kind of people we should be without affirming who our [C]reator is." God, in particular the Christian God, is the best explanation for the world we experience. As C.S. Lewis put it , "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it but because by it, I see everything else." For the Colson Center, I'm John Stonestreet.
