August 16, 2023: Psalm 139:14 - I Will Praise You, God!
“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.” - Psalm 139:14
The Bible, the word of God, put down in writing over thousands of years ago through men chosen by God and who were inspired by the Holy Spirit. You either believe in what the Bible says or you don’t, and whether you believe it or not is your choice.
The Bible tells us that we are not a product of evolution but are fearfully and wonderfully made by God:
“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)
“In the beginning was the Word [Jesus Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3)
To make a decision not to believe that there is a Creator, Almighty God, and to believe instead the lies of evolution is to believe that the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa, located in the United Arab Emirates, coming in at 2,717 feet high and with 163 floors, and which took six years to build just created itself. To believe that after years of evolving, all the necessary parts just happened to be present and assembled themselves perfectly together, producing a structure that can withstand winds that are at the altitude, earthquakes, and other weather events. It just happened to assemble a structure that contains all the necessary systems to support such a complex structure.
To believe the lies of evolution is to believe that the greatest works of art just created themselves. For example, the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel appeared over time when all the required parts of the evolution process were there - the brushes, the paint, the thought process to produce the image being represented on the ceiling, each stroke of the brush that was tediously painted on the ceiling. There was no creator; it just evolved over time.
Think about the most complex supercomputer. If you believe the lies of evolution, that supercomputer’s intricate parts just happened to evolve over time and precisely assembled all of those parts in way required form them to function. Per Analytics Insight, the most powerful supercomputer in the world is the Summit supercomputer: (See: https://www.analyticsinsight.net/top-10-most-powerful-supercomputers-in-the-world-you-should-know/#:~:text=Summit%20is%20currently%20the%20most,physics%2C%20energy%2C%20and%20healthcare.)
“Summit is currently the most powerful supercomputer in the world. It is located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, USA. The machine was developed by IBM and NVIDIA and has a processing power of 200 petaflops. It is used for research in various fields, including physics, energy, and healthcare.”
Per IBM, a supercomputer is defined as: (See: https://www.ibm.com/topics/supercomputing#:~:text=Unlike%20traditional%20computers%2C%20supercomputers%20use,tens%20of%20thousands%20of%20nodes.)
“Unlike traditional computers, supercomputers use more than one central processing unit (CPU). These CPUs are grouped into compute nodes, comprising a processor or a group of processors—symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)—and a memory block. At scale, a supercomputer can contain tens of thousands of nodes. With interconnect communication capabilities, these nodes can collaborate on solving a specific problem. Nodes also use interconnects to communicate with I/O systems, like data storage and networking.
A matter to note, because of modern supercomputers' power consumption, data centers require cooling systems and suitable facilities to house it all.”
Such thinking is insane if you really think about it. Further, none of the examples I mentioned above can compare to the complexity of the human body, with its eleven main body systems that are present and fit together perfectly in order for the human body to function:
Cardiovascular
Digestive
Endocrine
Integumentary
Lymphatic
Muscular
Nervous
Reproductive
Respiratory
Skeletal
Urinary
Per openmd.com: (See: https://openmd.com/guide/human-body-systems)
“Organs of the human body are commonly grouped into eleven systems. Each body system includes organs and structures that serve a common purpose. The systems are highly interdependent, working together to sustain life and enable interaction with the surrounding environment.”
Notice it says that the “systems are highly interdependent, working together to sustain life.” This is only possible by having a designer, a Creator that created those systems to work together perfectly. In order for a human being to have life and to sustain it, all of those systems must have been present at the very beginning; otherwise, life and the ability to sustain it would have not been possible. A human could not have had two of the systems present and then over millions of years had other systems added to it. The evidence is clear: If there is something created, it speaks to a Creator.
With the discovery of DNA and all the studying and analyzing of it that has occurred since that discovery, it is found to be amazingly complex and that it speaks to a Creator. Per your genome.org: (See: https://www.yourgenome.org/facts/what-does-dna-do/).
“The DNA code contains instructions needed to make the proteins and molecules essential for our growth, development and health.”
For these instructions, from where did they come? What are the odds they just randomly appeared over millions of years and they just happened to be coded in the manner required to create and sustain life? Just as the Bible’s book of Genesis tells us, the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and everything that is in them, including all human beings, is Almighty God. To disbelieve that is to be deceived by the lies of Satan. What gets in between believing that God is Creator of all things? Pride, and pride is exactly what caused the fall of Satan. Pride puts a massive wedge between us and God, causing us to believe anything that appeals to our prideful self, including the lie that we evolved over millions of years and that we are just another animal. Is it any wonder that our country, our world is in the sad and confused state that it is in? This does not speak to order as God created it to have but to disorder and confusion, which is exactly what Satan wants so that he can ensnare people in his web of lies.
For me, I reject the lies of Satan and I trust the word of God. Oh, yes, Lord God, I will praise You! Yes, I will trust in You, and I will praise You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. I know that You created me, and I am in total awe of You, Your power, Your presence, and that You know all things! Just as the evidence of You is present in all that I am, in my most inner workings, so is there evidence of You in all of Your word and in all of Your creation. Just as my body was designed like a tapestry that is woven together perfectly, so is Your word like a tapestry, woven together perfectly, with the Old Testament working together with the New Testament, revealing Yourself and Your perfect plan of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ for all mankind; that my soul knows very well. ✝️
