Psalms 135:6-7 “Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasurles.
Think about that for a minute. The Psalmist was singing to please the LORD. If he were singing to please the LORD then all of what he sings must be true. Men of science are a little slow to catch on in many areas of science. These things were known for centuries by men of faith.
Isaiah tells us in Isaiah 40:22 that God sits on the circle of the earth, yet it took man until 500 BC for Pythagoras spoke of it and until 350 BC before Aristotle spoke of it. Not until Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) actually proved it, did it become what most believe. Believe it or now, there is still a Flat Earth Society today. This is a quote from their website: “The Flat Earth Society mans the guns against oppression of thought and the Globularist lies of a new age. Standing with reason we offer a home to those wayward thinkers that march bravely on with REASON and TRUTH in recognizing the TRUE shape of the Earth – Flat.”
Personally, I am still in awe of the fact of rain clouds. Water weighs 8 pounds a gallon, right? When it rains, millions of gallons of rain fall, right? How in the world is literally millions of tons of water suspended in the clouds? Science tells us that it is held there by the wind blowing under it. Revelation 7 talks of angels on the four corners of the earth restraining the winds from blowing, but who caused them to blow?
It took thousands of years for scientists to figure out the water cycle spoken of by Solomon. The first published thinker to assert that rainfall alone was sufficient for the maintenance of rivers was Bernard Palissy (1580 AD), who is often credited as the discoverer of the modern theory of the water cycle. Some argue that the water cycle was completely understood by Hebrew scholars as evidenced by the text fom the Hebrew bible dated as early as the 10th century BC. Yet way back in Solomons day he wrote: Ecclesiastes 1:4-7 “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.”
Another thought has me wondering about the creation of earth. Every mineral that is useful to man is in the outer crust of the earth. When God planned the earth, first he began with the crust, then He added plants and animals to prepare earth for man. He did not create man first for the earth could not sustain his life. It continues to leave me in wonder that every element, mineral and metal was place so that man could reach it, so make something that he needed at the time he needed it.
Man did not start out with steam shovels. He started out with finding metals on the surface of the earth. They were already sticking out for mans use. Think about it for a moment. The winds blow, the rain falls, the minerals appear when man needs them to survive. Yet man would rather believe some poppycock about crawling out of a slime pit rather than believe in a loving God that created mankind. How odd that seems until you remember the Garden of Eden. Satan hated what God loved all the way back to the years of creation. God loved man and Satan came to disrupt, lie and make man question God’s love. Look at the truth recorded in Genesis 3 and it is plain that Satan wants to disrupt mans acknowledgement of God.
He (Satan) fills mans head with questions, he sows doubt, he claims much and delivers little. Satan fills scientists with tiny snippets of true surrounded by a lie. It takes more faith to believe in Evolution than in a Creator God. Scientists still hold tightly to the lie as if their very being depends on it. They will argue, teach, and fight against anyone that would try to ask for evidents of Evolution. They try to win arguments by being louder and more dogmatic than the person asking them to explain. They have no proof.
Each year science finds that things mentioned in the Scriptures is true. I don’t have the space to list them all, but there are many. The Scripture tells us to believe in God because of the orderliness of the universe. Psalms 19:1 – “the heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
Every time one scientist opens his eyes to the truth, hundreds of others try to shout him into silence. But someday…
