Emmanuel Evangelical Church Chippenham

Unanswerable Questions

Over the last 10 years, internet search engine Jeeves has been asked over 1.1 billion questions. From that huge selection they have noted 10 queries that keep on recurring, but to which there don’t seem to be any answers.

Here at Emmanuel Chippenham we’re sure the Bible does have answers for many of these "unanswerable questions", so last year we thought it would be useful to try to tackle them over the course of a year, on the first Sunday of each month. They can be listened to or downloaded from the Sermon section of the site.

Our Pastor, Spencer Shaw, was interviewed on BBC Radio Wiltshire about this new series, and you can listen to the interview here:

The top 10 questions asked were:

  1. What is the meaning of life?
  2. Is there a God?
  3. Do blondes have more fun?
  4. What is the best diet?
  5. Is there anybody out there?
  6. Who is the most famous person in the world?
  7. What is love?
  8. What is the secret to happiness?
  9. Did Tony Soprano die?
  10. How long will I live?

We’re not sure how relevant Tony Soprano is to most people, nor whether blondes have more fun, but the Bible does have answers for the rest of the questions. On the first Sunday of each month, except January, to coincide with our fellowship lunch, we’re going to think through what the Bible has to say in answer to some of these questions during our morning church service, starting at 10.30am at Hardenhuish School.

This is the list of questions we will consider:

3rd October 2010 “What is the meaning of Life?”
7th November 2010 “Is there a God?”
5th December 2010 “Do atheists have more fun?”
6th February 2011 “What is the best diet?”
6th March 2011 “Is there anybody out there?”
3rd April 2011 “What is love?”
1st May 2011 “Who is the most famous person in the world?”
5th June 2011 “What is the secret to happiness?”

Please do come along and join us if you can.

You can find the answers, with illustrations, here on the website.
