Sunday school homework.
There is a question that our teacher asked us. That question is: “If you come across someone who’s not a Christian, and says the Bible isn’t true, what do you say to convince them?
He gave us an assignment to tell him, and mine was to write a short story on it.
My characters are Laura and George. George is the Christian in the story and Laura is his best friend and isn’t a Christian.
Laura and George were walking home from school, and George was listening to Laura complain about how he couldn’t go to her party because he had to go to church instead.
“Couldn’t you just miss one Sunday? I mean it’s just church.” She said trying to persuade George.
“No Laura I can’t just miss one Sunday.” George responded rolling his eyes, “It’s not just church either.”
“But George, everyone will be there!” a sly look crossed Laura’s face, “Even Liz will be there.”
George sighed, why did she have to bring up Liz? Liz was a girl he’d been trying to work up the nerve ti talk to, and the party was most likely going to give him that chance. He wasn’t going to go to the party no matter who was going.
“I don't see why you go to church anyway,” Laura said with a frown, “I mean none of it was true.”
George stopped and looked at his friend, “How do you know?”
“Well all those scientists proved that evolution was how the earth came to be, and that the earth is millions of years old.” She shrugged.
“Were you there?” George asked stubbornly.
Laura frowned and looked at George, “What do you mean?”
“I mean where you there when the earth was created?” George waited for Laura to answer his obvious question.
“Well, no but-,”
“Then how do you know it was evolution?” George started to walk with her again.
“I already told you, the scientist proved it, George you aren’t listening.” Laura was getting frustrated.
“Ok, then I suppose you think that the scientist were there when the world was created?” George said with a cocky smile.
“What no, all I’m saying is science proves evolution!” Laura said in an attempt to calm her frustration.
“Ok, ok, calm down,” George said putting a hand on her shoulder, “If you believe that then how does science prove evolution?”
“Well, all these really smart scientists say that the dinosaurs evolved into birds like chicken and turkeys, and stuff.”
“I know that,” George said, “But what proves that?”
“Well…scientists say that there were these amebas and stuff and then if evolved into a whole bunch of stuff leading up to human life; gaining more and more knowledge along the way.”
“But where did the amebas come from?” George asked not really hoping for an answer.
“Aliens.” Laura said plainly. George stumbled forward a little bit.
“What?” George asked exasperatedly.
“Aliens brought the intelligence to start life on earth.” Laura grinned at George’s surprise.
George shrugged off the alien for a second and asked, “Well then where do they come from?”
Laura shrugged, “Probably the same place we did.”
