Every once in a while some thought “drops” into my mind that to me seems the obvious and undeniable truth concerning creation. I had one of those moments today and would like to share it.
I thought of the fact that, according to our best scientists, there is no other planet in our universe that has an atmosphere for life to exist like it does here on earth. Not ONE is even close to it. Apparently there is NO life anywhere that compares to life on the earth.
Why does the universe exist anyway? It seems that no one can give a real answer to this question. I believe it exists, by design, for a habitation for life in which the “highest form” is human beings. If this is true, what would be its purpose? It is so obvious that earth was created. There is no natural thing here that is founded in chaos.
Have you ever read in the story of creation in Genesis how God declared everything He created to be “good.” This was stated with each stage of creation. There was no “random or natural” selection in that story. There is no real proof that there is such a thing as natural selection. That would require intelligence to come from something that has no intelligence. What is called natural selection is actually the design of the creator. Those who don’t want to believe in creation have to make up something to explain how it all got here; hence the terms “random mutations,” “natural selection,” etc.
Think about how the earth is made, with all the minerals necessary to sustain life; replete with air (with the perfect composition for animal and human life), sunshine (just hot enough for life and not hot enough to destroy living creatures), water (perfectly constructed to support life), adequate vegetation for food, trees and other plants for cover from varying climates. Most creatures have two eyes; all are designed with a way to take in nutrition and excrete waste matter to sustain life. Each is equipped with some way to deal with predators.
Why does this planet have an atmosphere suitable for animal and plant life? How did it get here? What’s its purpose?
For one to think that we are the result of random mutations or some cosmic accident is a sad thing. Those who believe this have no long-term hope. In other words, when their life on earth ends, they have NO hope of continued existence. No joy of looking forward to meeting their awesome creator. If they are wrong, what a sad day it will be when they have to face the one they have denied or ignored and the consequences that will be permanent.
Believing in God and surrendering to Him as creator and savior brings joy, peace, love, kindness and all other things that the human heart longs for. Those who do not believe, will never experience those things in their fullness.
It costs you a lot more to not believe than to live a life in harmony with your creator. I pray that you will consider the possibility that God is real, loves His creation and will reward those who accept His Son Jesus as their Savior and Lord with eternal life preceded by a joyous life here on earth.
