Willingly ignorant

Posted by: Lasserre on July 17, 2008


moons-stars.jpgWhat a thrill to look into the sky on a clear night and see the brilliance of countless stars filling the heavens. Not only are you enthralled by their beauty, you can say, “My Father put them there and holds them in their place.” You enjoy the warmth of the sun on a beautiful summer day or stand in awe of a magnificent sunset. But you are not giving credit to “Mother Nature” for this marvelous scene; you can say, “My God put it there.”

Why is it then that when some look at the heavens—or they observe the tranquil scenes of beauty on the earth—they only see nature, while you see nature’s God? Why is that multitudes insist it was through a lengthy process, governed by chance, that man came to be on the earth while you embrace the Genesis account that God created man on the sixth day?

Some would say the problem is a lack of evidence that God is the Creator and only the unlearned would accept creationism and reject evolution. They contend that scientists have proven that the earth and the life on it evolved over a period of billions of years, and therefore it would be unreasonable to hold any other view. But can it be said that the reason so many in today’s world hold tenaciously to the theory of evolution is only a desire to be scientifically correct?

God’s Word says there is a willful rejection of the evidence God has provided.

The Psalmist tells us “the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handy work” (Psalm 19:1). The heavens do not declare that it all started with the “Big Bang,” or that chance and fate somehow manipulated matter that came from nowhere to form the heavens and the earth. The heavens declare the glory of God. The fact that the sun is in its place and the earth revolves around it, as it continues to rotate on its axis, does not reveal the amazing results of countless accidents. It displays the power of God (Romans 1:20).
