God Is The Creator Of Everything
A good look at the book of Genesis shows how God created all things with a definite purpose in mind. Though the purpose of all things created by God were not exhausted in the book of Genesis, science has revealed so much about things which were previously unknown to man about the earth, its inhabitants and their reason for existence. It has further buttress the fact that everything that God made has a specific purpose to fulfill.
One thing we are all aware of as humans is that we didn’t create ourselves; neither do we have a good knowledge of how the Man, responsible for the creation of the universe did it. However, based on our own knowledge, from what our human minds can fathom, we know that things don’t just spring into existence. Even man-made products don’t make themselves; not even the best of technologies, no, they don’t create themselves. We know as humans, that for things to come into being within the scope of matter, space and time, they must be made by someone with a superior intelligence. This principle of causality applies to everything that has a beginning, which is, everything that has a beginning has a cause.
The only and logical way we can conclude how the universe came into being, considering its teleological nature, is to accept that an entity with a superior intelligence, existing by itself, created the material universe for a purpose. This superior intelligence is God. “In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.”- Isaac Newton
Though humans have made some giant leaps in trying to understand the universe, the truth still remains that there are so many things which currently exist but are still unknown to man. Before the discovery of microorganism, we never thought anything of such exists. Even now that we think knowledge has increased, and that we think we know and understand the material world, scientists keep on revealing new knowledge even of the things we thought we had already exhausted knowledge of their existence; as well as the many others we never knew existed in the universe before. James Buchan observed, “A century ago, petroleum-what we call oil-was just an obscure commodity ; today it is almost as vital to human existence as water.”
Amazingly, the earth or the world we currently inhabit is only one of the nine planets in the solar system. Studies have shown that the earth is the only planet where life thrives, at least as at the time of writing this book. Scientists still cannot believe that in a universe so large, so mystical with an almost unfathomable size, that only one planet called earth seem to be inhabitable. They cannot bring themselves to believe that earth was specially created to harbor a special creation of God’s. Billions of dollars have been spent in search of life in other planets but it has always been like chasing after shadows. They are awed by the sheer fact that the earth which is like a grain of sand in a sea shore with regard to the size of the universe, could be the only place where life exists. But if they truly accept the truth of God’s agenda, they will understand that God created the universe with a purpose, and the earth for an even greater purpose.
The earth in the planetary body is positioned in an orbit that makes the survival of living things possible. Scientists have discovered that if the earth was taken a little more farther from the sun, its orbit in the solar system, all its inhabitants would freeze, like Neptune or Pluto if Pluto was still considered a planet. In the same manner, if the earth was a little closer to the sun, all its living organisms would be roasted by the heat that is emitting from the sun, like the planets Venus or Mercury. The sun is said to be so hot that at its core, its average temperature is 27,000,000 (twenty seven million) Fahrenheit. But startlingly, according to NASA, without the intense energy and heat of the sun, there would be no life on earth. WHAT A MIRACLE! What a perfect design enmeshed with PURPOSER.
