1 Chron 15:1-16:36 | PS 10:1-15 | Prov 19:6-7 | Rom 1:18-32
So many request to see a miracle, for then they state they would believe in God. Yet, miracles surround us and most are simply oblivious to them. As an obstetrician I get to witness the miracle of creation within the womb, the growth of that baby within that environment, and the eventual birth. Even the most superficial acknowledgement that transpires literally screams of Creator God. From the joining together of the sperm and the egg, as you consider the growth of this single cell into the complex human beings that we all are is simply astounding. Science pretends to have all the answers, but since it largely eliminates God from the discussion, no matter how intelligent they might sound they speak as ignorant and arrogant fools. My patients worry that they eat too much, eat too little, don't eat right, etc. I explain to them that God is all the while protecting His creation, a creation that He loves more than they, the parents do. He defends the defenseless inside the womb. When one views the miracle of birth and the transition that occurs from an in utero environment to the first seconds after birth, including all the structures which need to close and open immediately to enable life, the absolute miracle continues. So whether it be the creation of the baby, the rising and the setting of the sun, the waves of the ocean which go only so far, please open your eyes for God does not hide as many like to think.
We read in Romans 1:18-20, "But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God." Paul speaks this truth so clearly, you can't miss God if you simply look around. To argue against this is utter foolishness as we read in 1:21-22, "Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools." The exchange between worshipping the created vs the the Creator is perverse and very prevalent as we read in 1:25, "They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen."
So, since God allows free choice for all of us, He allows people to follow their own path of foolishness despite how obvious His reality is, as we read in 1:28, "Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done." So there are many fools who boast of evolution, boast of the presumed science surrounding evolution, etc. Let me state this clearly: evolution is a hoax, it is a fraud. Sure there is microevolution within a species such as ear size of deer from one environment to another, but there is no evolution of species transforming into other species, simply open your eyes to the complexity of creation of each human being and this cannot be missed if one were simply honest. Stop talking of "mother earth" which is simply a resurrected worship of the pagan god, "Gaia". This is not cute or innocent, it is idolatry. Stop worrying about climate change, since God with simply a word can change anything He desires how He desires. If you struggle to follow God or believe in God simply open your eyes and stop believing all the lies that you have been fed since a child in the earliest years of education. Open up your Bible. Like so many others, I grew up believing the lie. Once I opened the entirety of God's Word, the scales fell off my eyes and I could not miss God screaming everywhere in His creation. What a Great and powerful God we get to serve.
