God surely must be considered a scientist, mathematician, biologist, cosmologist at the very least, not to say of course, artist? So, let’s dip into God’s playground; his studio? It’s interesting stuff, it’s bible based as well as science based.
I feel that when God reads this he may look down with a huge smile thinking, “yes, and so much more than you could ever imagine”. (I do hope so).
The universe is filled with galaxies looking just like ours, all with suns that eventually die, galaxies collapse on themselves, black holes seem to be in the centre of every spiralling galaxy sucking in debris, moons, planets and who knows what else and then flinging the debris back out into space at colossal speeds.
That enigmatic force we call gravity eventually causes that ejected debris to gradually coalesce somewhere forming an emergent body which will one day form new planets and stars. The whole process is like a perpetual motion machine, (something man has never been able to create).
Have you ever watched two leaves floating on still waters? Even they have their own tiny gravities, they are drawn to one another like two magnets, and then more leaves are drawn to them. This is exactly what happens in space, each object, no matter how small has its own gravity and each is attracted to the nearest particle or object. We can see now that that is how comets are formed when we see those close-up images of comet 67p when the Philae probe landed on it.
So when we look out into space and see these many spiralling galaxies just like ours they are all finite and slowly heading for death and rebirth in a never ending universal ballet with God as the director.
Although astronomers have uncovered many of the details revealing the life-cycles of individual stars, (such as our sun) they still do not fully understand how galaxies, like our Milky Way, begin and end their lives. If that is the case, why, when reading contemporary articles on the subject is your/my theory (which includes God’s word), of any less worth than theirs?
Let me quote Robert Shapiro, a chemist at New York University re “almost impossible beginnings as believed by evolutionists”.
He says; “While there are scientists who think RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) could have arisen spontaneously on early Earth, others say the odds of such a thing happening are astronomical. "The appearance of such a molecule, given the way chemistry functions, is incredibly improbable. It would be a once-in-a-universe long shot," said Robert Shapiro, "to adopt this view, you have to believe we were incredibly lucky."
Well, I am going to take this a step further, in fact many steps further into incredulity but still science and bible-based.
We are told by evolutionists that life first appeared in water, in some kind of primordial swamp.
Let us ‘assume’ some kind of micro-life did spring into existence and now let's cut to the very moment when the first human appeared. Never mind whether he/she was an embryo or a mature, fully functioning human being, on that very same day or at least within the lifetime of that first being another biologically compatible example of the opposite sex and carrying all the necessary genes, DNA, RNA , also had to appear. What is the likelihood of that happening working within the millions of years as quoted many times by most scientists? Robert Shapiro has already told us: he says “It would be a once-in-a-universe long shot”. Well that blows the Darwinian theory right out of primordial swamp water!
Q: When this earth reaches its 'sell by date' is life is going to ‘evolve’ yet again on another planet which will eventually die like ours only to spring up on yet another planet etc etc etc…. you see where I am going? It was incredible enough to come up with a theory of the “once-in-a-universe long shot” likelihood of life with all its diversity evolving here on earth but to say it just keeps on doing this same thing over millennia right across the universe is surely a bridge too far?
Can you imagine God forming our earth and our sun and then placing earth along with all the other planets in our solar system so that we are just the right distance from the sun? It’s too much for us to even imagine how it was done isn’t it but we rejoice in the fact that we are where we are, in that so-called Goldilocks zone! Hebrews 1: 10. “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”
God made the earth to be inhabited.
Isaiah 45: 18
For this is what the Lord says—
He who created the heavens,
He is God;
He who fashioned and made the earth,
He founded it;
He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited.
Ok, yes, He could replenish our sun, cleanse the earth of all the pollutants we have put there and we could go on and on but something within me doubts that.
Before he places us on any new world; just like Genesis he will have had to prepare it for us with food, water, air to breathe and it is round about here that my imagination finally loses its grip on the future, our destinations, our wanderings, I have reached that place where lack of human experience in such matters can no longer support my imagination but I am sure that God has fantastic plans for his people and it will, as it says in the good book, be very good.
