Can you imagine for just a moment what the perfect father would be like?

Just imagine what would he be like? Oh, well, he'd be gracious, he'd be kind,

he'd be your biggest cheerleader, he'd be your biggest biggest encourage you he'd pick you up in his

lap and give you a hug say well that is the picture of your Heavenly Father right

your Heavenly Father is not just a magnified version of your earthly father. He is fundamentally

different. He is the perfect father. He is the father who you long to have for

eternity. Well that's Lee Strobel and he's our guest today on Focus on the Family with Jim

Daly.

Thanks for joining us.

I'm John Fuller.

John, I always enjoy having Lee on the program.

Just so capable. I love his testimony of being an atheist journalist and

then coming to faith in Christ. It's one of the most awesome stories and it just

builds the veracity of what scripture is about and how a life has changed and he's down to earth about it too which is also great.

Sometimes it's a challenge to explain our beliefs, especially when opponents are saying that

God and science can't coexist. Science is winning the day. We're bombarded by that message,

each and every day. But when you peel it back a little bit I've started to realize I think it's the opposite I think so much today

science is proving God actually does exist and you hear it in small ways and sometimes

in thunderous ways.

But even the Big Bang, what does that mean?

Before was nothing and all of a sudden something was.

And we're going to talk about these great concepts today
