Do you believe in Richard Dawkins?

If your answer was yes, why?

Most of us have assumed Dawkins existence based on very little evidence. I for one have never met him.

The Incarnation: Why did God become Man?

Abstract
Jesus’ existence didn’t begin with His birth or conception, but pre-existed Creation, as made by Him and for Him. Jesus was both with God and God Himself. That such a divine Person exists is taught throughout Scripture, starting in Genesis. The plurality within the Godhead makes it possible for God to be intrinsically a ‘God of Love’.
