The Case for the Creator

People go to great lengths today to refute the Bible, to deny the existence of God the Creator. Could it be that many do not relish the Bible statement that after death we must give account for our deeds to this Creator?

As alternative reasons for our being, we have the Big Bang theory and the evolution theory. See earlier articles on those.

Anyone who exercises the brain a little will soon realize that God had a plan, and a purpose, in creating this world and everything in it.

We can all observe that a person is born, they develop, they grow, they learn, they (hopefully) are taught by their parents. They are educated; they marry – though some today have decided to skip that, contrary to what God says. They have children. They die. Then the offspring itself becomes a parent and the cycle is repeated.

Those same steps through life apply to the animal world, be it an elephant or the humble mouse; except of course they mate, not marry. They cannot be educated in the same way as humans. God gave us a superior mind.

Isn´t it interesting that in nature every creature is equipped with the means to obtain food. The crow has a beak to peck, and brain enough to find a half-eaten hamburger in a garbage bin. Likewise the sharp-eyed seagulls will gobble in seconds the fish and chips left unattended for a moment on the outside table. The lion has enormous jaws and teeth to both kill and devour its prey. Then there is the ingenious web weaved by the spider to catch its dinner.

There is a master plan, a method, a purpose for it all. It was designed as cleverly as an architect designs a house. That begs the question: who gave the architect the brain and imagination to design that house? The human brain is many times more complex than your computer processor.

Surely if we open our eyes we can see there must be a Master Architect who made the skies, the sea, the sun, the wind. They are majestic, and it is much easier to believe in God than disbelieve Him.

Do you see the pattern to all that? It is how God decreed it, and nothing can change it. Most of us at 71 would rather be 21 again but that isn´t how it works. The moving hand bigger than ours has writ, and there is no going back.

Most of us do not want to die, but we must.

We strut proudly through life, but what guarantee do we have of waking in the morning; or of being alive at night? None. The Bible says we do not know what a day will bring forth.

If we are wrapped up in ourselves we make a very small package compared to God´s giant package.

To oppose God is as futile as a man on a golf course trying to stop a storm. To paraphrase an old saying: "If you can´t beat Him, join Him."
