4 Virgin Births, you say?

Philippe

You know what’s funny? Some folks get pretty worked up about Christians believing in a virgin birth. But here’s an interesting thought – atheism asks us to believe in several things popping into existence from absolutely nothing. Let’s take a look at these “virgin births” with a bit of humour, shall we?

1. The Universe’s Grand Entrance 🎉

First up: the entire universe. According to atheism, everything just appeared from nothing. There is no cause, no reason, poof—here’s your universe! It’s like expecting your car to assemble itself in the driveway overnight.

Remember when Stephen Hawking said the universe could create itself from nothing? That’s like saying your coffee made itself this morning.

(If your coffee did make itself, please please please share your secret with the rest of us!)

2. Life: The Ultimate Plot Twist 🧬

Next on our list is life itself. At some point, non-living stuff supposedly just decided to start living. Scientists call this “abiogenesis,” a fancy way of saying “life came from non-life.”

Here’s the ironic part: if scientists ever managed to create life in a lab, they’d prove that it takes intelligence to make life happen. It’s like proving you need a baker to make a cake by… baking a cake.

3. Morality: The Mysterious Rulebook 🤔

This one’s exciting. Atheism suggests that our sense of right and wrong has just evolved by itself.

But evolution is all about survival of the fittest – nature’s version of “every man for himself.”

So, how did we think it was good to help others at our own expense? It’s like a company policy of “maximize profits!” somehow transformed into “but give away your bonus to help the competition.” Something doesn’t add up here.

4. Human Dignity: The Self-Assigned VIP Status 👑

Finally, we’ve got human dignity. These days, people talk about “crimes against human dignity” and “death with dignity.” But in an atheist view, where exactly did this dignity come from?

It’s like we’re all walking around with VIP passes that nobody issued. Did we hold a meeting of all species and vote ourselves special status? Did we wake up one day and declare ourselves the universe’s MVPs?

The Plot Twist

Here’s the kicker: Christians get raised eyebrows for believing in one virgin birth, while atheism is sitting there with FOUR of them! And these aren’t small potatoes – we’re talking about:

• The entire universe (kind of a big deal)
• All life (pretty important)
• The whole concept of morality (crucial for civilization)
• Human dignity (what sets us apart)

The Bottom Line

In the Christian view, these aren’t random accidents but the work of a Creator – like finding a fully furnished house instead of expecting the furniture to appear by itself. God creates the universe (check), creates life (check), gives us moral understanding (check), and gives us dignity by making us in His image (check and mate!).

So, the next time someone gives you a hard time believing in miracles, smile and ask them to explain how everything created itself from nothing. Then maybe grab some popcorn – it could be an interesting conversation! 😉

Remember: Whether you are a Christian or not, we are all believers in some pretty incredible things. The real question is: which incredible things make the most sense when you really think about them?

P.S. And yes, questioning the universe counts as productive use of your coffee break. You’re welcome! ☕
