But the truth is ...

I would have felt vindicated a couple weeks ago if I'd read that, but not today.

I wrote many times on this blog about all the fantastic ways the human species might perish, such as the insanely big asteroid that wipes everything out and--piff--we're all gone.

I don't feel that way anymore. Why? Honestly, I don't know what caused the change, but somewhere in Europe it dawned on me that I truly didn't believe humankind is going to be wiped out.

This has less to do with my faith in humankind than my faith in God. I have been struggling for a good long time and filled with doubt up to my ears about Christianity and God so that sentence would have been hard to write previously. But I realized that I just flat-out believe that humanity is not going to be obliterated by a rogue asteroid. And that it's not luck that it won't happen but rather Providence.
