The Case for Christmas

Have you ever thought about what the real reason for the season was?

When it comes to Christmas, what do you think about?

Do you think about Santa –

His elves, his reindeer, holiday lights, shopping, shopping, shopping or Black Friday?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, where it is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. Since Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States, Black Friday may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th of November.

Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many employers give the day off, allowing consumers to get a head start on their Christmas shopping. Analysts and investors will watch for signs of consumer strength or weakness.

For some its tradition. For others its religious folklore. No one would argue that the real meaning of Christmas is easily lost in the distractions of the season. This Christmas, take a closer look at the real meaning of Christmas and true identity of the Child in the Manger.

But why should you take a look at this topic closer?  During Strobel’s academic years, LL became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune.  Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant …. or so Strobel thought.

But today science is pointing in a different direction.  In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe WAS intelligently designed.  At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason.

Has science discovered God?
