It Couldn’t Just Happen by Lawrence O. Richards

I enjoyed reading It Couldn’t Just Happen: Knowing the Truth About God’s Awesome Creation by Lawrence O. Richard.

This is an interesting book that gives proof that the world was created by God and did not just evolve. It is divided into 5 parts. Part 1 covers the Earth in our Universe. It talks about the origin of the universe and how Earth is the only planet that can sustain life. Part 2 covers how life began and that no matter how many times that a scientist has tried to create life as the Evolutionist say it happened, they have never once been able to make it happen. Part 3 talks about the evidence from living things. Part 4 covers humanity in God’s nature and how we were created in his likeness. Part 5 talks about the Book that just didn’t happen: The Bible. This book is written for a child’s perspective and there are activities at the end of each chapter for children to do. An activity from chapter one is:

“Sit outside one night for five minutes, just looking at the stars. Then read Psalm 8. Can you understand how the psalmist felt? How did you feel?” Lawrence O. Richards. It Couldn’t Just Happen: Knowing the Truth about God’s Awesome Creation (Kindle Locations 328-329). Thomas Nelson.

Another activity example taken from chapter 17 is:

Find out how an archaeologist works. What would be most interesting about being an archaeologist in Bible lands? What would be hardest? Lawrence O. Richards. It Couldn’t Just Happen: Knowing the Truth about God’s Awesome Creation (Kindle Locations 3294-3295). Thomas Nelson.

Pick this book up for some interesting reading.
