One of the things common to man is the tendency to doubt the things
of God. In fact, during the Age of Enlightenment, it became something
of a fad to doubt the existence of God, or anything that could not be
empirically measured and analyzed. The French philosopher Rene
Descartes asserted that, “I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I
am.” It took awhile, but eventually this tendency toward doubt even
has spilled over into the Church.
From an human perspective, doubting is much easier than believing.
After all, creation is inexplicable. For how many centuries has man
been attempting to unravel the mystery of the beginning of the
universe? Some propose the Big Bang Theory. Others say it always has
been. Who knows? How can we ever really figure out our own origins?
