Understanding important truths from the Bible….
CREATION’S STORY
PSALM 8:3-4 NKJV
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
The Psalmist individually and as a whole teach that nothing in the universe can be understood separate from a right knowledge of God. Psalms 8, 19 and 139 when read together are an indescribably great help in this right knowledge of God.
The intelligence of mankind is to say the least amazing. That which in the past was fantasy is now reality. In all fairness it must be said this is only the tip of the iceberg.
But man’s creative intelligence pales in comparison to his arrogance. Scientists can state the boundless infinity of the universe filled with millions of galaxies which can be observed. And each galaxy has billions of stars in them. They acknowledge that which is observable is only a small part of that which extends to unknown distances in all directions. They recognize both “dark space”, and “dark energy” about which they really know nothing.
Having described this small part of the universe with its near infinite content, and having acknowledged there are mysteries in it about which they really know nothing they in the same breath can attribute all this which is seen along with the vastness far exceeding the observable to a “big bang” origin.
This is the theory (and nothing more) that all which is seen and all that is unseen derives from a small ball of very hot, very dense matter. This ball may have been as small as the head of a pin.
This is so illogical that though the mouth may say it, the mind cannot accept it. This theory with all its disclaimers remains an unbelievable excuse for the ignorant rejection of God, the maker of heaven and earth.
“Look Ma, the Emperor ain’t got no clothes on.”
Application:
A. Terminology and complexity do not equal truth.B. The ancient truth of the Scriptures is “true truth”. The stars in the heavens are truly comparable to the sand on the sea shore.
