[3254.82 --> 3255.66] it's really
[3255.66 --> 3256.24] easy to
[3256.24 --> 3256.88] explain that
[3256.88 --> 3257.62] evidence away.
[3258.34 --> 3258.62] One,
[3258.82 --> 3259.76] because it's
[3259.76 --> 3260.70] necessary to
[3260.70 --> 3261.32] explain that
[3261.32 --> 3262.02] evidence away
[3262.02 --> 3263.56] and two,
[3264.28 --> 3265.08] the evidence
[3265.08 --> 3266.38] requires faith
[3266.38 --> 3267.24] to make sense
[3267.24 --> 3267.58] of it.
[3268.70 --> 3269.30] Let's flip the
[3269.30 --> 3269.96] coin for a second,
[3270.04 --> 3270.14] right?
[3270.38 --> 3271.44] The very same
[3271.44 --> 3273.14] reason a strict
[3273.14 --> 3274.40] naturalist finds
[3274.40 --> 3274.92] it impossible
[3274.92 --> 3275.78] to believe
[3275.78 --> 3276.86] in a creation
[3276.86 --> 3278.34] account is
[3278.34 --> 3279.40] why you find
[3279.40 --> 3280.02] it impossible
[3280.02 --> 3280.96] not to believe
[3280.96 --> 3281.36] in one.
[3282.88 --> 3283.44] Or to put it
[3283.44 --> 3283.94] another way,
[3284.28 --> 3285.08] the very same
[3285.08 --> 3285.92] reason so many
[3285.92 --> 3286.70] people miss
[3286.70 --> 3288.02] the impossibility
[3288.02 --> 3288.70] of Christmas
[3288.70 --> 3289.82] is precisely
[3289.82 --> 3290.50] the reason
[3290.50 --> 3291.84] why you can't
[3291.84 --> 3292.82] help but see
[3292.82 --> 3293.54] it sitting here
[3293.54 --> 3294.06] this morning.
[3295.00 --> 3295.42] At least,
[3295.76 --> 3296.50] I hope you see
[3296.50 --> 3297.62] it or you're
[3297.62 --> 3298.32] beginning to see
[3298.32 --> 3298.54] it.
[3298.86 --> 3299.18] You're getting
[3299.18 --> 3299.68] a glimpse
[3299.68 --> 3300.88] of it.
[3302.06 --> 3302.46] And I know
[3302.46 --> 3302.82] it seems
[3302.82 --> 3303.92] convoluted
[3303.92 --> 3304.24] perhaps.
[3304.38 --> 3305.18] Let's try it
[3305.18 --> 3306.14] this way.
[3308.44 --> 3309.34] Where you
[3309.34 --> 3310.56] start with
[3310.56 --> 3311.18] your faith,
[3311.34 --> 3311.74] where you
[3311.74 --> 3312.28] are starting
[3312.28 --> 3312.86] from,
[3313.48 --> 3313.94] determines
[3313.94 --> 3315.28] where you
[3315.28 --> 3315.68] will end
[3315.68 --> 3316.00] at.
[3317.76 --> 3317.98] Right?
[3318.02 --> 3318.34] If you
[3318.34 --> 3319.06] believe in
[3319.06 --> 3319.44] a God
[3319.44 --> 3320.00] who says
[3320.00 --> 3320.92] something like,
[3321.32 --> 3321.88] with man
[3321.88 --> 3322.36] this is
[3322.36 --> 3322.84] impossible,
[3323.30 --> 3323.70] but with
[3323.70 --> 3324.48] God all
[3324.48 --> 3325.38] things are
[3325.38 --> 3325.86] possible.
[3326.98 --> 3327.24] If you
[3327.24 --> 3327.56] believe in
[3327.56 --> 3327.82] a God
[3327.82 --> 3328.20] who says
[3328.20 --> 3328.58] that,
[3328.86 --> 3329.40] then what
[3329.40 --> 3330.40] you assume
[3330.40 --> 3331.18] to be true
[3331.18 --> 3332.16] will be
[3332.16 --> 3332.62] changed,
[3332.90 --> 3333.28] will be
[3333.28 --> 3333.78] transformed.
[3335.22 --> 3335.64] If you
[3335.64 --> 3336.20] don't yet
[3336.20 --> 3336.82] believe in
[3336.82 --> 3337.32] this kind
[3337.32 --> 3337.78] of God,
[3338.32 --> 3338.84] then it
[3338.84 --> 3339.14] remains
[3339.14 --> 3339.66] impossible.
[3340.60 --> 3340.90] And in
[3340.90 --> 3341.18] a sense,
