       Saturday 31st – Sherborne
                                                                                           of  evolution  had  created.    “What  amazing  trees!    What  powerful  rivers!  What
                                                                                           beautiful animals!” he said to himself.
                                                                                           As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
                                                                                           He turned to look.  He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.  He ran as fast
                                                                                           as he could up the path.  He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was
                                                                                           closing.    He  ran  even  faster,  so  scared  that  tears  were  coming  to  his  eyes.    He
                                                                                           looked  over  his  shoulder  again,  and  the
                                                                                           bear  was  even  closer.    His  heart  was
                                                                                           pumping  frantically  and  he  tried  to  run
                                                                                           even  faster.    He  tripped  and  fell  to  the
                                                                                           ground.    He  rolled  over  to  pick  himself  up
                                                                                           but  saw  the  bear,  right  on  top  of  him,
                                                                                           reaching  for  him  with  his  left  paw  and
                                                                                           raising his right paw to strike him.
                                                                                           At that instant the atheist cried out “Oh my
                                                                                           God! ...”
                                                                                           Time stopped.  The bear froze.   The forest
                                                                                           was silent.   Even the river stopped moving.
                                                                                           As  a  bright  light  shone  upon  the  man,  a

                                                                                           “You deny My existence for all of these years:  you teach others that I don’t exist:

                                                                                           out of this predicament?  Am I to count you as a believer?
