Question by ₪ ̻ V ¡ ¢ ז☺я ɣ ̻ ₪: Some great facts to help “keep the faith”. No rude, mean or crude comments, please.?
I will ignore mean/rude/crude criticism/comments, so no point posting them.
These are from one of my fave books with some impute from me. The book is called “If There Is No God…” by Mark Winter and I highly recommend it to anyone, especially to Christians trying to “keep the faith” This may be long, but is well worth it. Very good and interesting points along with proven facts in each one, not just opinions. Read it and it just may change your life.

If there is no God, why does America pause every year to give thanks? Abraham Lincoln established the national holiday of Thanksgiving in 1863, but not without some prodding by Sarah J. Hale (a Christian) whose editorials and letters helped institute the holiday. If you don’t recognize Hale’s name, you know one of her nursery rhymes-“Mary Had A Little Lamb”

MY NOTE— Mary had a little lamb has more meaning behind it than most know. Look at the verse:
Mary had a little lamb
Yes and his name is Jesus, now the Shepherd of the ones he was born of
Whose fleece was white as snow
Pure, Holy and sinless
And everywhere that Mary went, the Lamb was sure to go
God is with everyone, everywhere, because he loves us.
He followed her to school one day which was against the rules
He went against what others said and spoke the truth, which he was crucified for
It made the children laugh and play to see the lamb at school
He made us new and gave us meaning and hope. We are all children of God.

If there is no God, who teaches the newborn whale to swim?
A healthy whale calf can swim the moment it’s born, rising unaided to the surface for its first breath. In one week, a baby blue whale will double in weight eventually tipping the scales at 150 TONS.
–Jonah 2:10- The Lord commanded the fish

MY NOTE– you may say instincts, but where do those come from? God.

If there is no God, why have so many biblical prophesies come true? In Science Speaks, Peter Stoner calculated that the probability of one person fulfilling eight selected selected biblical prophesies was 1 in 1,017. The likelihood of one person fulfilling forty-eight prophesies was 1 in 10,157. Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled SIXTY-ONE major Old Testament prophesies!

MY NOTE: WOW.

If there is no God, why is “revelation” in the dictionary? In 1945, a woman awoke at one o’clock in the morning, feeling an urgent need to pray for a hometown boy at war. “Lord, whatever danger Spencer is in,” the woman prayed, “just cover him with a cloud.” At that same time in Germany, Spencer and his company scurried past enemy lines-a long mysterious cloud masking their movement.

MY NOTE: WHOA!

If there is no God, who dabbed spots on the leopard?

If there is no God, why does the world celebrate Christmas? In 1998, the Cuban government reinstated Christmas as an authorized holiday after a twenty-nine year ban. After the announcement, Bishop Adolfo Rodriquez triumphantly announced, “the church is separate from the state but it is not separate from the people.”

MY NOTE: Right on Mr. Rodriquez!!!!

If there is no God, how do we explain that a machine needs a maker, but the universe does not? A typical wind up alarm clock contains about a dozen moving parts. No one disputes that a skilled worker put it together. Yet some people argue that the world does not require an intelligent maker–a world that contains more than 9,000 species of birds, 70,000 kinds of trees and 750,000 types of insects.

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

MY NOTE: still think the earth was an accident? I know I don’t!!!

If there is no God, why do we have a conscience? In 1811, a government defrauder anonymously sent five dollars to Washington DC. Since then, the US treasury has managed a Conscience fund, which has received millions of dollars from remorseful citizens.

MY NOTE: Could an accident do that? NO. Our minds our too complex to be an accident.

If there is no God, why have people seen angels? Missionary John G. Paton and his wife prayed when a hostile tribe surrounded their home one night. At dawn, the tribe suddenly turned and ran. A year later, the chief reported that hundreds of men were standing guard at the house–huge men with radiant garments and drawn swords.

MY NOTE: I he was crazy, he would of ran. Not the whole tribe. If they all ran, they all saw it. There is no way that they all became crazy and saw the same thing at the same and then returned perfectly normal. No way. There were angels there. For sure.

If there is no God, who makes miracles? In 1979, a young woman joined a group fleeing from Cambodia. When they couldn’t find a road because of thick darkness, a swarm of fireflies appeared and lit the way. Later, the woman attended a Christian meeting and pointed to a picture of Jesus. She said, “I know this man. He is the One who led us to freedom.”

MY NOTE: Need I say anything more?

Thanks for reading all this and I hope it makes a positive impact in your life. God bless and keep the faith!
