MY ANSWER

How do you explain the fact that the Bible says in one place that God can't look at evil, while in another place it says that God sees everything?
Billy Graham writes, "No, it isn't a contradiction—not at all. When the Bible says God can't look at evil, it means that He can't tolerate or endure it, and it is an offense to Him."

MY ANSWER

Is there life on other planets?
Billy Graham writes, "The Bible's focus is on us and our relationship with God. If there is life elsewhere in the universe, it is there because God created it, and it is just as dependent on Him as we are for its existence."

MY ANSWER

How can you prove the existence of God? The answer is, you can't. Atheism is the only sane belief, in my view.
