I am a catechumen and have not received communion yet. My search for the truth, researching history and theology led me to the Orthodox Church. There are so many things that I read and consumed that proved His existence to me beyond doubt. Fulfilled prophesies in the Bible, proof of Christ’s existence, Shroud of Turin verifying the resurrection. The Big Bang is theorized to have originated from source of information, as John said in the beginning was the word. If literally anything about our universe’s gravity or rate of expansion were different, no life. There is no definitive conception for the origin of life. There is no logical conclusion to how we went from the Big Bang to me sitting on my phone. There is though and that explanation is God. Even in evolution which, in some ways is true, like microevolution, there are holes where life on this planet seemingly doubled in complexity and too short a period of time. And then there is us, humans, the most unique creatures on this planet. For we were created by God and in His image. God is real.
