“For every house is built by someone,but God is the builder of everything.”(Hebrews 3:4)

Inadequate, photography of faraway galaxies takes us back to evolution theory’s most egregious gap in its answer to our origin question.

Space photography is one of the more promising man-made creations that have accelerated our understanding of the universe and the world around us, bringing to focus incredible depiction of the universe with stunning shots of earth’s magnificent solar system relative to those of other planets and stars in the milky-way; albeit, inadequate, photography of faraway galaxies takes us back to evolution theory’s most egregious gap in its answer to our origin questions by evasive theories that are inconclusive with regards to the initial matter that brought the world into order. In the vastness of the universe and the precise interdependencies that make up our most intricate creations on earth, the imprints of an impeccable designer are present everywhere, requiring a more perceptive mind over a less primitive creation to subdue and make meaning of its purpose. Living organisms allow for a greater understanding of our capacities as intelligent beings able to give and derive meaning from life, distinguishing differences between ourselves others, creating a hierarchal order of power through which we comprise our theories about God and life. Given words and language we are able to speak and understand, formulating ideas about who we are in relationship to the universe, and a much greater creator, by whom we must have been created for a reason, and whose power far exceeds that of creation. Seen at the microscopic levels and scaled to galaxy expansions, are efforts leading the investigation of the causative agents behind their perfect coherence, inspiring a figurative conversation with God and man, perhaps a modern Job, whose apprehensions about life’s toils awakens the perceptive mind of a poetic Godly response: “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimension? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?” (Job 38:41)

Bounded by incomplete theories of evolution5, or the initial spark that brought the precise order of the universe into place, probabilistic theories6 comprised no unified answers about the basic elements and their origin. Made of similar matter to those of plants and animals we find evidence of our human superiority mostly in the distinguishing consciousness that sets us apart from the acts of our closest genetic species. While presumptuous evolutionary theories far fetch the magnitude of time required to project in both past and future, it leaves doubt in the balance to a man impatiently fidgeting for an answer to life’s purpose. A simple, self-evident presence of a higher God, who ordered the universe into being was made more complex by a man attempting to reason its own God-like superiority over others. Missing the mark on usability, mankind’s upcycle of the truth: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (Genesis 1:1,2) reached unprecedented heights of defiance by evolutionary theories, which falter by inconsistent proofs regarding the onslaught and self-governance of the precise laws of nature. Highly improbable, hypothesis of self-organizing blueprint of life’s DNA lies in the domain of the impossible, unfounded by a short historic collective memory of humanity without any consistent proof. With certainty comparable to a random chance, self-evolution is similar to unaided attempts of reverting colors of a painting to comprehensible uniformity from chaos, an example of which is in Figure 1, where mixed colors are reconfigured on their own into their individual color spectrum without any intervention. Similarly, big bang’s initial molecule couldn’t have sparked life into the universe without the work of an agent, to bring viable order from absolute chaos.

The word of God is the power by which we establish truth about creation. Immutable, it is the sword by which a clear divide is made between darkness and light

An egregious oversight to the calculations of our discoveries is discrediting God of creation, by similar inadequacy to excluding invisible light rays from the spectrum of light in spite of their felt evidence. In denial of an omnipotent creator, we are threatened by the existence of God whom we associate with the limiting agents of law and sin and whom we fear would spoil our self-exploratory inquisitions to much promised lead to controls when our consciousness is distant from Him. Equally disturbing is the exclusion, emphasized by invisibility, of evidence pointing to the existence of a supreme God. Powerful are the witnesses of God’s creation seen in the interwoven preset conditions and mechanisms without which our entire humanity would spin to an unalterable disarray, escaping the harder question about our existence and its purpose. Evidenced by the basic elements with which we breathe, to the preciseness of the angular bonding between hydrogen and oxygen molecules in life-giving water, the earth’s placement in relationship to the sun, and the constant laws that ground our physical bodies in gravity with an unlimited outlook into galaxies in a never-ending universe, expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. God’s world is meticulously made.

Chaos

Order

God who is capable of putting the world together in six days by His word, is also able to establish the proof of His work, most notable in the birth of His Son Jesus Christ whom He sent in human form, and sacrificed on the cross, so that His resurrection maybe witnessed by many who would become the living proof of His creation. A testament to Jesus’ life remains to be the most viable evidence of the story of creation. By God’s appearance in the flesh, Jesus has been given the authority of our destinies, promising a similar spiritual creation of us that is more reflective of His image. God’s aspiration for perfect beings had to do away with the more mechanical aspect of earthly decaying humans, by a more complete being in which the constraint of death seen in the regrettable design of Adam and Eve in the story of creation is abolished by the resurrection of Christ from death. The invincibility to death presented in Jesus Christ extended to our lives as spiritual beings, worn by those whom would later adopt Jesus as their God—who catachrestically speaking— “bear the groans of a new liberty into eternal life in heaven.” (Romans 8:20), the promise of an even greater creation from that in which we now experience.

Before we subdued our climates to escape the late serotinals for an early greenhouse harvest, the universe continues to operate in due seasons. The apple tree will always yield its fruit in the winter, by the same cycles in which its parent tree grew, relying on water, air, and sun to branch the luscious flowers that birds, bees, and animals feed on. The primeval will always bring the rain where rivers run and trees blossom. A greater truth emerges from the budding of the apple tree, the burial of the seed, more symbolic of the meaning about our life and death enters into our consciousness. A much higher wisdom of a creator must be attributed to God, who has commanded life from an inert seed: “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?” Job (38:12), were God’s words to Job whose testimony to God’s creation weathered grievous tribulations in all aspects of his life, whom God later restored by faith.

It may be worthwhile to consider the words behind the great designer of the universe, who took a far greater interest in our humanity than in any other creation. God has greater plan for our future, requiring belief in more than the fictitious façade we now chase in toiles and labors away from His truth, often mounting to nothing more than a psychological insignificance of passing vanities. Untamed timely pursuits to answers about life impacts our individual lives the most, when not aided by God’s guidance and words, risking costly retreats to what has long been established about His creation
