The Intentional Design of God's Creation

Dear Friend~

You believe everything happens by random chance. Yet I see a design in creation. Would you board a plane if you knew it just came together by happenstance? Of course not! And this earth which holds you exhibits a grand design that can only can come from a designer!

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
    God shines forth. Ps. 50:2

Who Are You To Judge God?

Dear Friend,

You ask why did God order the killing of all living creatures in 1 Samuel 15:3. You asked in response to why Richard Dawkins blames God for evil but does not like it when God wipes out evil in the Old Testament.

My answer to you is read the whole chapter & you will see that the Amelak opposed Israel as they sojourned out of Egypt. As their King God has responsibility to defend His chosen people. But they wanted a human king so God gave them Saul. Yet Saul was disobedient to God thinking only of himself keeping stuff for himself not obedient to God's word. (Dt. 20:16, 18) War making for Saul was making a profit. The law of Moses prohibited warring for gain.

You sit in judgment of God. Who are you to do so? You walk on his earth, breath his air and like Saul claim for yourself faculties such as reason and you use them for your own purpose. The land was promised to Israel. The Alemakites were trespassers. Who among us would not call the police to remove a trespasser from our home. If they resisted they may be shot. Out of Israel a Messiah came, Jesus of Nazareth. He gave himself as a perfect sacrificial lamb so that we may enter into God's presence, evil though we are. Yet by turning away from our sins & accepting Jesus as Lord, we will be given a new heart. We become a new creation putting away our evil self by God's help. Our eyes are opened to our sinful nature. We see what we are really like. Everyday when you wake up you need to thank God for His mercies. For the rain & sunshine, for the food on your table. You created none of these but you consume them without saying thank you. You go about your business taking the Lord's Name in vain. How many of you ever use your mother's name as a cuss word? Your happy to deny truth. Your happy lying to protect yourself. What should your judgment be at death. Truly, this is God's earth, He made it and all that is in it. He can do whatever He pleases. He does not need our approval. We on the other hand need to recognize our horrid state & bow down before Him asking mercy to spare our life. This is no mere philosophical notion, as Jesus died in our place taking upon Himself God’s wrath meant for us. Think about it & repent!

God showed His love us that while we are still sinners, Christ died for us! (Rm. 5:8)

Adam & Eve, Our Common Grandparents!

Dear Friend,

We are all descendants from Adam & Eve. Unless of course you do not believe in the Bible. But if you believe in science, how do you explain that DNA says we all descended from 1 man & 1 woman?

Where Did Everything Come From?

Dear Friend,

I am not opposed to science. In fact 'science' means knowledge. I would expect all of us to gain knowledge. God gave us the five senses to test things. He gave us a mind to reason. Isaac Newton reasoned that there were certain Laws of Motion. Let's take his 1st Law:

Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

Now this proves to be a problem when discussing the Big Bang Theory. For many the universe came about because something acted upon something (a single point of hydrogen?) to create what we now know as the universe. What was that Something. Or is the better question, "Who?"

That who is God! See Genesis 1. With a telescope and other instruments we see the universe expanding. Of course because God is stretching the universe as we speak!
Do you not know? Do you not hear?
    Has it not been told you from the beginning?
    Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
    and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
    and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
who brings princes to nothing,
    and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness. (Isaiah 40:21-23)

The Evidence of a Builder

Dear Friend,

None of us goes into a building and assumes it is just appeared. None of us boards a plane thinking that the plane came together by chance. And who would trust a plane if it were not designed by logic, science and intelligence. So why do we look at our universe and not see a Master Builder?
