Learn a Magic Trick
Dots
Effect
This effect is really more of a puzzle than a magic trick, but it
can be used just as effectively to convey a spiritual truth.
The challenge is to connect
the dots in the drawing using only 4 straight lines, connected
end-to-end. Most people who haven't seen the trick before
(and even some who have!) can get up to eight, but are stymied when
it comes to getting the last one. The reason for this is that we
mentally construct a box using the four corner dots, and then try to
stay inside that box. These restrictions make it impossible to
connect all 9 dots using only 4 straight lines connected end-to-end.
Only by going outside the box can we find the solution.
People who deny the existance of God
have drawn themselves into a box and either cannot or will not see
Him as the answer to any of life's questions.Their understanding of
the world is limited to the explanations of evolution, humanistic
psychology, social philosophies and other manmade ideas.
But if
we are to find answers to life's most important questions we must
look beyond the physical realm. This is not to scoff at the many
benefits of science and logic, but it recognizes that there is no
valid scientific or logical reason for ruling out God's activity in
the lives of mankind.
