"The God Gene"
Scripture-Acts 17:22-31 from The Common English Bible
22 Paul stood up in the middle of the council on Mars Hill and said, “People of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way.
23 As I was walking through town and carefully observing your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: ‘To an unknown God.' What you worship as unknown, I now proclaim to you.
24 God, who made the world and everything in it, is Lord of heaven and earth. He doesn't live in temples made with human hands.
25 Nor is God served by human hands, as though he needed something, since he is the one who gives life, breath, and everything else.
26 From one person God created every human nation to live on the whole earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
27 God made the nations so they would seek him, perhaps even reach out to him and find him. In fact, God isn't far away from any of us.
28 In God we live, move, and exist. As some of your own poets said, ‘We are his offspring.'
29 "Therefore, as God's offspring, we have no need to imagine that the divine being is like a gold, silver, or stone image made by human skill and thought.
30 God overlooks ignorance of these things in times past, but now directs everyone everywhere to change their hearts and lives.
31 This is because God has set a day when he intends to judge the world justly by a man he has appointed. God has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."
