The Miracle of Creation
People can’t help but believe in God if they just look at creation. All they have to do is look at the creation to know Somebody had to design it, pattern it, put it together, and make it work like it does. God’s beautiful creation works so beautifully, so systematically, so perfectly, it’s obvious that all that didn’t just happen by accident. Creation, so-called Nature, is not just natural. It’s God-created. It’s supernatural. It’s miraculous!
If you don’t know whether God exists, just look at the sea, the sky, the clouds, the mountains, the valleys, the trees, the flowers — everything. They’re all virtually shouting, “There is a God! Look what He made! Look what a beautiful world He made for you to live in!”
The greatest proof of God’s existence is His creation. The Bible says that God’s “invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made” (Romans 1:20). The existence of our invisible God is proven by His visible creation. It’s “clearly seen” through the beautiful world He made.
Evolutionists try to explain away creation by saying that it just happened by accident and God had nothing to do with it, that it somehow just threw itself together. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize for physics, had a good answer to that: Just as there had to be a watchmaker behind the synchronized perfection and order of every watch, so there had to be a Creator behind the synchronized perfection of the universe.
Yet evolutionary doctrine has become the general theme of modern science and is now referred to as the “great principle” of biology. But a principle, according to the dictionary, is a foundation truth or fact; the basis of other truths — and evolution has never been proven to be either a truth or a fact, much less the foundation or basis of other truths.
There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed; therefore it’s a religion. Even the founding father of this false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed, “The belief in natural selection [evolution] must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations. When we descend to details, we can prove that no one species has changed, nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the groundwork of the theory.”
The existence of our invisible God is proven by His visible creation.
So evolution is really a religion of unbelief in God. That’s its whole purpose: to eliminate faith in God and to foster the false belief that the creation created itself; God had nothing to do with it, so there doesn’t need to be a God.
The first verse of the first chapter of the first book of the Bible says, ªIn the beginning, God — not chaos, not some nebulous cloud of gases — created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). And a few verses later, “God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female” (Genesis 1:27). God formed man out of what? Previous life forms? Apes? Beasts? “And God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). This is the truth of God’s Word!
Even if you don’t believe the Bible, reasonable scientists concede that if the world’s two or three million species of animal and plant life came about by evolution, we would be ten miles deep in fossils of evolutionary “missing links.” Instead, the evolutionists search the world over trying to find one! Nearly every one of those fossils that evolutionists claim to be missing links have now been debunked, and some are confessed fakes, like Piltdown Man.
Evolution has no foundation in fact whatsoever. There’s no evidence for it. No discovery has been made to prove it. As one of its foremost proponents, Margaret Mead, wrote in her introduction to her textbook on anthropology: “We as honest scientists must confess that science has yet to discover one single iota of concrete evidence to prove the evolutionary theory!”
Do you believe in God? — Look at the world; look at the beautiful trees; look at the flowers; look at the sea; look at the sky. Does God love you? You can see it and feel it in the beautiful world He made for you.
God created this wonderful world for you to live in and enjoy, and He is the only One who can give meaning to the universe and purpose to the planets and love to our hearts and peace to our minds and health to our bodies and rest to our spirits and happiness to our lives and joy to our souls.
