Imagine a painter who paints a gorgeous painting. He puts his heart and soul effort
into the project. All who look at the painting admire the beauty of it. But to the artist's
dismay and shock, the admirers say, "Oh, this painting was not created by any artist.
It just sorta evolved into the beauty that it is today. No one created this masterpiece...
it just evolved from globs of paint on the canvas."
A movie producer who put his very best effort into a film project only to hear people
say that the project "just evolved" and no one produced it.
A composer who created a masterpiece and played it for the whole world to hear. The
listeners loved it but did not think that any one had created such an amazing musical
masterpiece. "It just evolved from a mess of music notes on a page but no composer
was involved in the creation process of this piece of music."
How offended these people would be if someone were to say that about their work.
That is why there are copyrights and trademarks in place to protect one's creation.
God has also put His own copyright on everything He created. All of creation tells us
that there is a God and that He made everything good that is in this world.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself
that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in
vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was
very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
What Has Man Done?
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
I was viewing a certain T.V. program which featured very unique creatures in
Australia. The very popular host* of this show and his wife were discussing the
unique creatures and holding them and admiring them. Of course, there is no mention
of God in their dialogue. Instead, they were admiring these cute creatures and
discussing how these animals evolved into what they are today. They talked about the
animal's fur, toes, nails, claws, etc. They were just "in awe" of the "power of these
magnificent creatures." Every thing that was said was in admiration for the
creature..."Look at his beautiful claws"..."Look how he evolved...years of evolution
has made him what he is today..." What kind of message are they sending? Are they
preaching to the masses? You bet they are. They have a message and they are
preaching it strongly. They are preaching it to all the viewers who tuned in. [*Update: the
host of that show died while filming his show.]
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God...
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not
convenient;
God created the earth and everything therein.
Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature
that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and
every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
The Lord made man in His own image. The Lord created the heavens and the
earth.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Hebrews 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the
earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Isaiah 40:25-26 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the
Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things,
that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the
greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out
of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk
therein:
If there is an amazing design, there is a brilliant Designer. The big bang theory
is one of the most ridiculous things propagated by man to justify his denial of
God Almighty.
Just because someone thinks something is true and wants to believe that it is true,
does not make it anymore true. Fire burns whether you want to believe it or not.
The earth is round, whether you want to believe it or not. And all the wishing in the
world does not change the color black into white.
So just because one does not want to believe in God does not negate God's existance.
Just because someone creates their own god does not make him real. Just because
one claims there is no hell does not negate its existance. And just because someone
does not want to believe in God's justice does not mean that he will escape judgement
someday.
Who can speak to a tornado and tell it to go away? Who can speak to a hurricane and
command it to leave the coast? No one! [Only Jesus made the storm calm. Only God
can do that.] We cannot argue with nature and therefore how much more can we not
argue with its Creator.
Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were
created.
God in His mercy calls those people who claim they have no Creator to repent and
receive Jesus, their Creator as their personal Lord and Savior. Jesus was born of a
virgin, lived a sinless life and died for sinners. He rose again on the third day and He
wants His creation to receive Him as their Savior. He loves His creation.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:
John 1:1-5, 10-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him
was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not. He was in the world, and the world was made by
him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him
not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Colossians 1:16-17 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is
before all things, and by him all things consist.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
