A Matter of Faith Page #10

prove evolution,

just as no one can

scientifically prove

that God created the world,

since none of us were present

to witness it.

Both of these teachings then

become a matter of faith.

The evolutionist has nothing

but vast periods of time,

random chance events,

and the ever-changing

ideas of man

to base his worldview upon.

While the one who holds to

Creation has his beliefs

firmly rooted in the truths

contained in the Bible

and a personal God

who created everything.

I loved this university.

I loved teaching my students.

But one thing got in my way.

Led to my downfall.

It wasn't until I was visited

by a new friend

that I came to realize it.

And it was not you Marcus.

I blamed you,

but it was not you.

It was me and my pride.

I was the one who was

at fault twelve years ago,

not in what I was teaching

but in how I went about it.

I should have taught

my students

to look at both sides

of the evidence

realizing that

everyone individually

has to make their own choice.

Either you are going to look

at life through men's ideas

or God's word.

So if evolution,

follow where that leads.

If God, then serve the Lord.

We can't prove

anything here tonight,

we can only present theories.

You can chance your eternity

on the views of Freud

and Darwin if you want.

I'm putting my trust

in Jesus Christ

who died on the cross

for my sins,

was buried and rose again

on the third day.

I know some of you

will call that stupidity.

I am calling it humility.

And I will trust

and I will follow Christ

and wait on the hope of

eternal life that He offers.

May you find that same hope.

[Music continues]

Marcus, I'm sorry

for my attitude

and I held bitterness

towards you for a long time.

I hope you can find it

in your heart to forgive me.

[Music continues]

Professor Kaman.

Is there anything

that you'd like to add'?

[Music continues]

Okay, that concludes

our evening everyone.

Our next debate will be

November 14th

presented by

the business department

with a discussion about

government spending.

We hope to see you then.

Than ks for coming.

[Crowd moving out]

[Crowd chatter]

[Crowd chatter]

Evan.

Thank you for all your help.

I couldn't have done it

without you.

You're welcome.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

Same here.

Keep in touch.

Yes sir.

Your Dad did good.

[Music]

SECRETARY:
Great job with

the debate last night Professor.

Yeah, it was a... interesting.

Yeah, it was a... interesting.

[Music]

[Keyboard typing]

Hey buddy, interested in making

a hundred bucks'?

One Hundred dollars?

Yeah.

Just let me crack three eggs

over your head and it's yours.

Yeah'?

Yeah.

Show me the hundred first.

Can I talk to you

for a minute'?

Yeah, sure.

First I wanted to thank you

for helping my Dad.

And second, I wanted

to apologize for how I acted.

I'm sorry I gave you

so much opposition.

I lost perspective but I'm back

on track with the Lord.

God used you in my life

and I wanted thank you.

You're welcome.

That's it.

See ya.

See ya.

[Music]

Rachel!

What are you doing

Saturday afternoon?

[Music]

You stood before creation.

Eternity in your hand.

You spoke the earth

into motion.

My soul now to stand.

[Music]

Okay this spot, right here.

What about it'?

You ever been here before?

Yeah, I told you lots of time

for family reunions.

Would you look at that,

on the ground'?

It's a fifty cent piece.

Do you remember that'?

What'?

What I just did'?

Took the fifty cent piece

from your hand?

Think Rachel.

Think back to when

you were ten years old.

You saw a fifty cent piece

on the ground

and some little boy

came up and grabbed it from you

when you found it.

I do remember.

How did you know'?

Did my Dad tell you'?

Yeah, your father told me.

But that little boy was me.

What'?

Eight years ago,

you and I met here

at this very spot.

We were throwing

stones into the river

when you saw a fifty cent

piece on the ground.

I came and snatched it

out of your hand

when you picked it up.

Just stole it from you.

My Dad saw the whole thing

and he used that incident

to show me how I needed Christ.

So on that day,

this selfish little boy

became a Christian.

You see Rachel,

God used you in my life.

I wanted to say thank you.

[Music continues]

You're welcome.

[Music continues]

You know that little restaurant

up past the bridge?

[Music continues]

I'd be happy to

treat you to lunch.

[Music continues]

Alright. Yeah,

I think I'd like that.

[Music continues]

So, what could I say

and what could I do?

But offer this heart Oh God,

completely to you.

So I'll stand with arms high

and heart abandoned

in awe of the one

who gave it all.

I'll stand my soul Lord

to you surrendered,

all I am is yours.

I'll stand with arms high

and heart abandoned

in awe of the one

who gave it all.

I'll stand my soul Lord

to you surrendered,

all I am is yours.

I'll stand with arms high

and heart abandoned

in awe of the one

who gave it all.

I'll stand my soul Lord

to you surrendered,

all I am is yours.

All I am is yours,

all I am is yours.

[Music]
