Human beings are special. We're creatures (we're not little gods), but we're also more than creatures. In fact, we're the most wonderful creatures in the world next to God.

When God's children disobeyed their heavenly Father, they damaged everything. When Adam and Eve rebelled against the King of the universe, they broke the whole world. This is why there is evil and suffering. Bad things happen in a world that's broken.

Whenever someone tries to deny the truth, ultimately, reality betrays him.

A worldview is simply someone's relatively organized understanding of what the world is actually like.

Evil did not catch God by surprise. He had a rescue plan, and He's still in the process of working out His plan.

An alternate explanation is not a refutation.

In the Story of Reality man does not rescue himself for his own glory. Instead, God rescues man for His glory. Every other story describes what man needs to do to fix himself and save him from whatever else is wrong with the world.
