Psalm
19:1
The heavens declare
the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.

We all know the
opening statement in the Bible. Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.” We heard these words many times because they sound
so simple. But do you know that the meaning is so deep?
Dyson Freeman, one
of today’s most brilliant scientists, writes that nature’s laws are marked by “the
greatest mathematical simplicity and beauty.” While I am not a scientist or a
mathematician, I am intrigues by this statement.
If there is no
Designer—no Creator God—how is it that our universe can be a law-abiding system
marked by simplicity and beauty? I wonder, why isn’t our universe in chaos?
The only reasonable
explanation to me is the God of the Bible. As it says in [bible]Roman1:20[/bible],
“Since the creation of the world [God’s] invisible attributes are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that [we] are without excuse.”
If it’s only the
reality of God’s existence that explains the whole universe, that must also be
true of our lives. We are not accidents but creatures designed by a Maker of
limitless power and wisdom. Look for Him in what He has designed—you’ll see Him
there.
The
design of creation points to the Master Designer.
