You, Sin, and Christ

This video uses Chemistry to illustrate the Christian faith.

I think it is a beautiful video.

It is not proof for God’s existence, nor is it speaking against Science.

It has received a lot of backlash from the Anti-Christian community and I just do not understand why. No one is claiming anything with this video, other than it represents what the person who posted it believes and feels.

Many of the opposing views to this video are in response to it as false proof. Again, no one is claiming it as proof. Perhaps they are interpreting the post as magic, that God changed the colors of the liquids (chemicals) to illustrate Christianity, surely that can’t be the case. If that is what they are interpreting as the posters’ intention then they are bigger fools than the Christians they are trying to shame.

As a Christian, I believe in Science. For me God created everything and works through everything, including science. Is that hard to believe? That if you believe in God then you can’t believe in Science? Perhaps we need to let go of our pre-conceived notions of what Christians and Non-Christians believe and learn to listen to each other before dishing out our prejudices.

But I think we have a bigger problem:
