Intelligent Design Past Finding Out

II Timothy 3:7 tells about a time when people would be "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." Currently, evolution is the common teaching of the day. It's called a" theory", however, it's presented in such a way as one would present established fact. While astronomers peer ever deeper into the universe, they continualy have to update their theories which eventually are accepted as so called "fact". They came up with the big bang theory to explain why the universe is expanding; why the galaxies are fleeing away from each other. When they discovered that the rate of accelleration was also increasing, they developed the theory of dark energy to explain it. In other words II timothy 3:7 is being fulfilled constantly. The evolution of quantum physics goes on as men try to explain things that had their beginnings in the spiritual realm. God spoke the elements into existance and the physical world that we see is the material manifestation of the words that God spoke in Genesis chapter one. (It's also interesting that the earth was formed and contained vegetation before the sun and the moon were created. Tell that to your science teacher the next time you want to have some fun.) Truly Gods ways are past finding out and I Corinthians chapter one tells us how God will bring to nothing the understaniing of the prudent. For those holding to evolution, it's necessary to find a physical explanation for things. The fact is that if there is a spiritual realm, all of the physical laws go out the window. You have heard of folks having near-death experiences and seeing doctors in the emergency room trying frantically to revive them. There's no physical law to explain how that could possibly happen and yet such reports are almost routine. The fact that a spiritual realm exists supercedes every physical law that we hold to. I Corinthians 2:14-15 says "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." This is why physicists with every degree obtainable will cleave to the idea that all of the matter in the universe began in a tiny compacted ball the size of a pea. (That takes faith.) To a person whose born again and filled with the Spirit Ghost, this may sound really basic, however, we wrestle with it ourselves every day; believing Gods word over what we see happening around us. We quote II Corinthians 5:7 and Hebrews 11:1 daily but struggle with actually believing it. We get into a place where we have no choice but to trust the Lord and our first reaction tends to be "oh no, not again." We look at the physical situation that we can see, hear, touch and occasionally smell and forget that God created every single atom and literally holds them together. It's like the song says; "Trust and obey, For there's no other way, To be happy in Jesus, than to trust and obey" Love him wholeheartedly, Trust him completly, and follow him unconditionally. As we enter the most perilous time the world has ever known, it's never been more important to let this concept sink into our hearts. To truly trust our faithful creator who has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. That promise supercedes anything that man can do to you. I was about to end this entry, however I just remembered something that I heard recently either at the local fellowship or on the radio. It was "You can't determine what people will do to you but you can determine how you react to it." The bible tells about the time when men will kill us and think that they're doing God a service." We can't control that, however, we can determine in our hearts (we had BETTER determine in our hearts) to keep the faith even unto death. Don't think to yourself that it can never happen here because the groundwork is already being laid. Stablish your heart and remember that, as christians, we subscribe to the "Post Big Bang" theory. II Peter 3:10 says "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." The universe didn"t begin with a big bang, however it will certainly end with one.
