From God Didn’t Create Robots: Commonsense Christian Apologetics

In this book, I attempt to add some commonsense Christian apologetic arguments into the ongoing debate. Some such topics are:

First, is there a persuasive rationale to explain the humility of Jesus…above and outside of the standard and perfectly valid explanation that this is simply part of the divine character of God?

Is there an ingenious, underlying theme within the humility of Jesus that transcends far above the imagination of human literary invention…and at the same time serves as inspiration for Christians?

Does the humility component of the life-script of Jesus Christ surgically divide out and expose the negative aspect of rebellious self-sovereignty…resulting in the totally unjustified rejection and non-valuing of the Son of God Jesus…in a way that forever separates out the moral downside of: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isa. 53:6)…as demonstrated clearly through the cross of Christ at Calvary (Jn. 15:18-25)?

Second, how would anyone other than God compose a life-script for a perfect person Jesus Christ that gets Him to the cross? Is this idea far too original and innovative…as to fall clearly outside of human literary imagination…and therefore be divine in its origin?

What faulty, highlighted aspects of the human character would be accurately identified in this divine life-script composition…that would infuriate worldly conventional thinking to such a degree in first-century Israel…that would get a perfect person Jesus all the way to the cross…and not to mere house arrest, exile, or censure?

Third, how could anyone other than God compose a life-script complex enough for Jesus Christ the Son of God…that results in His broken heart on the cross (blood and water coming out of His pierced side…a modern medical description of a ruptured heart…John 19:34)?

How do you break the heart of God…as humanistically invented literary fiction…without at the same time violating the very thing that worldly conventional normalcy and thinking detests the most…that wants to sweep under the rug and ignore at all cost…the acknowledging of the existence of human sin and self-centeredness… heartbreakingly absorbed as a mass of evil and human wrongdoing…by Jesus on the cross as the Passover Lamb of God sacrifice for sin?

Fourth, where does the delicate balance of belief and unbelief come from? Why isn’t this balance overwhelmed in favor of one direction or the other?

Fifth, what explains the odd existence of the two main contrasting worldviews…self-sovereignty and God-sovereignty…for human beings alone?

This dichotomy clearly does not originate from nature. Lions display only one lifestyle habit…there are not two different competing approaches to being a lion. The same goes for every living creature in nature. For every living creature each lifestyle habit is distinctly unique…but uniform throughout that creature type…for lions, cheetahs, leopards, tigers, elephants, giraffes, alligators, and zebras, for example.

Yet humans have two optional worldviews to freely choose from…self-sovereignty or God-sovereignty…both radically different in the course and purpose of our lives. The complexity of the differences that divide these two worldviews is far beyond any plausible explanation of their origin by way of the naturalistic, gradual trial-and-error evolution of material particles and energy as asserted in the theoretical framework of Darwinism.
