Did God really make the universe? "Who in the skies can compare with Yahweh?" Remember that line in the psalms? I have been thinking about that these last few days as I ponder my future with no work at a time I really need to have some. And so I thought about creation-- about the ongoing debate on that topic. I always thought that nothing could be so crystal clear-- but then more and more arguements seem to be thrown into the debate. As I gaze up into the skies and contemplate the heavens-- the vast universe that holds us all together, I wonder for a moment how it all began. My phone rings and my young bright who no longer attends church calls me to ask what I think about the Da Vinci code. I tell him that Christians with deep abiding faith don't even think about it-- there has always been an ongoing debate about the divinity of Jesus. And besides I tell him-- the resurrection is still the central core of Christianity-- so don't waste your money on a movie that will most likely put you to sleep with boredom. Finally I go back to the universe-- how it all began. Was it a big bang? Are we all descended from monkeys? Ohhh sometimes I wish! I'd love to be swinging from the trees in frolic right now and eating nothing but bananas as I glide! The vastness of the universe is so overwhelming for any human mind to comprehend. The shere number of galaxies and the number of moons of so many planets-- it totally boggles the mind. JUst trying to count the stars with the naked eye--- unbelievable achievement. Not even the greatest telescopes can get a handle on them. And what about the milky way? And this is just the world above us! We can search for centuries with a telescope and still find new signs of creation--- and then we can return to earth and search for centuries under a microscopic lense and discover ad infinitum more and more tiny pieces of the atom-- more and more bugs and more and more invasive creatures never before known to us. Ahhhh the vastness of creation! I heard the word billions when I was just a in grade school. The later I heard the word trillions. These are indescribable calculations of anything. But there you have it. Billions upon billions and trillion upon trillions countless acts of creation. And then each one of us--- all the marvelous people that have been born and made a name for themselves--- and the many more that have not-- yet have led a life worthy to be called human. I will leave those to believe what they wish to believe about the universe-- about creation. FOr me the undeniable fact is too crystal clear to think otherwise. God in his great wonder made all that is; created each and every one of us-- no matter how tumultuous a life we may have. He it is that created the heavens and the earth and all that dwells upon it. I believe there may well be life on other planets and there may well be other planets that we currently no nothing about. Our science will reveal more to us--- but our scriptures still tell it like it really is. I recall in a letter from my uncle many many years ago his famous words to me: "Littera scriptura manet"- the word of God remains forever. How true it is-- and what a marvelous God who made this great universe and all the wonderful people upon it! God bless to all! |
