Quick Review:
Looking back at your notes from this week’s teaching, what was the most memorable part of Bills message for you on Sunday?

Digging Deeper:

1. Is it reasonable to believe that humans have bacterium ancestors? Why do you think people believe that humans have bacterium ancestors?  Is it because of science? Anger?  Not wanting to abide by the Bible’s rules?  Peer pressure?  It is the only thing they have been taught?
2. Does it make much more sense and is it better science to believer people can only make people as opposed to believing humans have ape-like ancestors?
3. Bill, from an engineering perspective, argued that he sees design in the human body and the world around us. Do you believe his arguments are reasonable?  Why or why not?
4. When you consider the body that you are living in, what do you think is some of the most amazing designs to it?
5. When you consider the world that you are living in, what do you think is some of the most amazing designs to it?
6. Read Romans 1:19-20. The Apostle Paul argues that we can learn a lot about God from looking at what He has created around us.  What do you learn about God from the creation of the world?
