There are debates between scientists and scholars and biblical great minds. Creation verses none creation and atheism. God is REAL and the fool has said in his heart there is no GOD.
In conservation once/one time with a scientist slightly known I was asked some questions and one was if God loves everyone why does he send people like unbelieving scientist to hell. Because he is a just holy GOD and there is no excuse according to his word by the thing created/seen and understood it is seen the workmanship of his hands.
Romans 1:21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Teaching and admonishing one another
" The LORD is God; besides him there is no other ” (Deuteronomy 4:35)
Colossians 3:16
King James Version
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
"The best books on Jesus
recommended by Robert Morgan
Jesus was a 1st century Jew from Galilee who had a ministry of teaching and healing. He gathered disciples around him, but was eventually arrested and executed by the Roman governor of Judaea from 26 to 36CE, Pontius Pilate. But what else do we know about Jesus and what is his significance in an increasingly secular age? New Testament scholar Robert Morgan talks us through his favourite books on Jesus."
I would think the best written book on about the lord Jesus Christ (Emmanuel) has not been written because there has been millions and millions of people ever since the first century that lived and many of them do not write books. Some of them probably don't even have a voice in the world. Perhaps many of them are not even technical or on social media or ever have been. It's interesting to note that there are probably places on the Earth where people have never heard of Christ.
( Before the common) What does this mean?
"CE stands for “common (or current) era”, while BCE stands for “before the common (or current) era”. These abbreviations have a shorter history than BC and AD, although they still date from at least the early 1700s." Dec 1, 2017
"Although born in Bethlehem, according to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was a Galilean from Nazareth, a village near Sepphoris, one of the two major cities of Galilee (Tiberias was the other). He was born to Joseph and Mary sometime between 6 bce and shortly before the death of Herod the Great (Matthew 2; Luke 1:5) in 4 bce".
"For Christians, Jerusalem is also the place where Jesus preached, died and was resurrected. Many also see the city as central to an imminent Second Coming of Jesus. Jerusalem is now a major pilgrimage site for Christians from around the world." Dec 6, 2017
"The two accounts agree that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judaea, his mother Mary was betrothed to a man named Joseph, who was descended from King David and was not his biological father, and that his birth was caused by divine intervention."
We often hear about the wars in Israel in the Gaza strip and the different groups that are there. We also know that Israel is attacked and there are people that have sent rockets and have attacked people of Israel. (Tensions exit) We've been hearing about these things for years in the local papers or the evening news (Media). You know it was written and said that they would be hated. It's truly horrible when people cannot get along and want to dominate each other. We wrestle not against flesh and blood!

"EXPLAINER: What’s behind the clashes in Jerusalem?"
"By JOSEPH KRAUSS"
"May 10, 2021"
"Palestinians run away from tear gas during clashes with Israeli security forces at the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City Monday, May 10, 2021. Israeli police clashed with Palestinian protesters at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site on Monday, the latest in a series of confrontations that is pushing the contested city to the brink of eruption. Palestinian medics said at least 180 Palestinians were hurt in the violence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, including 80 who were hospitalized. (AP Photo/Mahmoud Illean)"
"JERUSALEM (AP) — For weeks now, Palestinian protesters and Israeli police have clashed on a daily basis in and around Jerusalem’s Old City, home to major religious sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims and the emotional epicenter of the Middle East conflict."
"Jerusalem has been the scene of violent confrontations between Jews and Arabs for 100 years and remains one of the most bitterly contested cities on earth. The latest clashes began a month ago with an Israeli move to block some Palestinian gatherings at the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, already a time of heightened religious sensitivities. After those restrictions eased, tensions over a plan to evict dozens of Palestinians from an east Jerusalem neighborhood continued to fuel confrontations."
"On Monday, stun grenades echoed across a holy hilltop compound, and hundreds of Palestinians were hurt in clashes between stone-throwing protesters and police firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Police were also injured".
It is sad and written that Jesus Christ of Nazareth cursed cities so which ones were they?
Woes to the unrepentant cities!
"The text in Matthew's gospel states:
Then Jesus began to criticize openly the cities in which he had done many of his miracles, because they did not repent. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you! And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No, you will be thrown down to Hades! For if the miracles done among you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued to this day. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you!" (Matthew 11:20–24)".
So what do we know what happened to the cities that Christ cursed?
Why did Jesus curse the city of Capernaum?
"There is a glass floor so that you can still see the ancient original church below. Despite having performed many miracles in Capernaum Jesus was disappointed in the village's lack of faith and eventually cursed Capernaum."
What happened to the city of Chorazin?
"The town was partially destroyed in the 4th century, possibly as a result of an earthquake. The settlement of Khirbat Karraza subsequently developed on the site."
What happened to the city of Bethsaida?
"In 2008–2010, and in 2014, archaeological excavations of the site were conducted by Rami Arav on behalf of the University of Nebraska of Omaha, Nebraska. According to Arav, the ruin of et-Tell is said to be Bethsaida, a ruined site on the east side of the Jordan on rising ground, 2 km (1.2 mi) from the sea."
We know that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah as they found it in modern days. There was one city that was spared because a lot went there and I believe he asked the Lord not to touch it. I believe it was Zoar.
Where did Lot go after Sodom?
"After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot was afraid to stay in Zoar and so he and his two daughters resettle into the hills, living in a cave."
In my after notes summary God created the world and everything seen and unseen. God created mankind in his image. But human beings have an adversary whether they believe it or not called Satan the devil and also fallen angels. I am sure God has a purpose for all of this and we know a little bit of what that is because we study his word. (We are human beings with companion & heart but at the same time the heart is abundantly wicked!) Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. Do we believe God? There is only one God but humans for centuries have been creating their own gods. And I read some information why people think God created us. There is more of a profound reason then in how it is stated.
