THE FACT OF CREATION

July 7, 2016Science & Faith

With the collapse of the theory of evolution in every field, prominent names in the discipline of microbiology today admit the fact of creation and have begun to defend the view that everything is created by a conscious Creator as part of an exalted creation. This is already a fact that people cannot disregard. Scientists who can approach their work with an open mind have developed a view called “intelligent design”. Michael J. Behe, one of the foremost of these scientists, states that he accepts the absolute being of the Creator and describes the impasse of those who deny this fact:

The result of these cumulative efforts to investigate the cell – to investigate life at the molecular level – is a loud, clear, piercing cry of “design!” The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science. This triumph of science should evoke cries of “Eureka” from ten thousand throats. But, no bottles have been uncorked, no hands clapped. Instead, a curious, embarrassed silence surrounds the stark complexity of the cell. When the subject comes up in public, feet start to shuffle, and breathing gets a bit laboured. In private people are a bit more relaxed; many explicitly admit the obvious but then stare at the ground, shake their heads, and let it go like that. Why does the scientific community not greedily embrace its startling discovery? Why is the observation of design handled with intellectual gloves? The dilemma is that while one side of the elephant is labelled intelligent design, the other side must be labelled God.19

Today, many people are not even aware that they are in a position of accepting a body of fallacy as truth in the name of science, instead of believing in God. Those who do not find the sentence “God created you from nothing” scientific enough can believe that the first living being came into being by thunderbolts striking a “primordial soup” billions of years ago. As we have described elsewhere in this book, the balances in nature are so delicate and so numerous that it is entirely irrational to claim that they developed “by chance”. No matter how much those who cannot set themselves free from this irrationality may strive, the signs of God in the heavens and the earth are completely obvious and they are undeniable. God is the Creator of the heavens, the earth and all that is in between. The signs of His being have encompassed the entire universe.
