Louie Giglio - Laminin
I am a little mixed on this one. In a sense what he is saying is right. God did make the universe and everything in it, and He is so big that He is everywhere and knows everything. One thing I take issue with is this is a soft approach to The Gospel like I spoke of before, but more than that I have a problem with his "proof". Sure his talk about Laminin is interesting, and in a way correct. Just knowing that there is such a thing should be proof enough. The problem comes in when he starts talking about the shape of Laminin. Sure the way he has it presented it looks roughly like a cross. But what does this prove? An non-believer could look at it and see something completely different, like a "x". Just cause some one finds this, or the face of Jesus on their toast, or Mary in their freezer, proves nothing. The most disturbing I heard so far was a youth pastor that saw the image of Jesus in a cheeto! To make it worse he and his colleagues named it! What would they call such a thing?Obviously they named it "cheesus". Sounds like border line blasphemy to me. If you really need proof how about this:Leviticus 12:3 And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And the eighth day of life just happens to be when one of the elements needed for clotting (the name escapes me right now) is at it's highest point it will be in an entire life time. That is proof of the supernatural nature of The Bible. There are many examples like that, but my point is just because a protein in the body looks like a squiggly cross proves nothing. The proof is in how perfect our bodies are created! Man has yet to make a machine that can match the mobility of the human body. Or how about the fact that the body can repair a broken piece of it's main frame. What if they discovered something in a cell that looked like a crescent moon? Would that then prove Muslims are right? No. Our truth is in Christ. He is what sets us apart from every other religion. Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Not that I think Mr. Giglio is a false prophet, just the time for signs and wonders has passed, that is not why we believe now. We have The Word to trust in. The signs and wonders have been documented, and the knowledge of God written on our hearts. We shouldn't need external proof any longer. Repent and Trust.

Hey bro! i am really enjoying the blogs. i watched the vid, and i dont think he is trying to say this proves Christianity. I dont think he was using this protien thing as an evangelistic tool. It seems more that he was using it to for lack of a better term, encourage Christians. Like "you already know God exists, but here is something cool that God did, not necessarily to prove to you God exists, but look at how He thoughtfully designed us." you kno?
Yeah, I just think the fact that it's there is good enough. No need to get into the shape of it. Our perfect design is plenty enough to show the Creator. The chain of events involved in a blood clot forming for a cut is a miracle on it's own. How's the trip going?
really good man! we are headed off to
disney in a couple of days, we been hittin the pool and beach a lot. what yizou bes ups tizzo?
