God’s Command vs. Chance

‘I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made …’ Psalm 139:14

Could life as we know it – plant, animal, and human life – have spontaneously happened by chance?

Could our amazing solar system be the result of an accident?

The more advanced science becomes, the more evidence there is for a Master Designer!

Researchers continue to uncover the divine order in each tiny human cell.

Biochemist Bruce Alberts, former president of the Academy of Sciences, writes, ‘We have always underestimated cells; undoubtedly we still do … Cells are the basic unit of life … indeed the entire cell can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of a set of different protein machines in defined positions.’

The psalmist David wasn’t a scientist, yet he recognised that each of us is a complex product of God’s amazing hands!

He said; ‘For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. … My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. … How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You’ Psalm 139:13, 15, 17-18.

The average human heart beats 115,000 times a day. Our blood travels around 19,312 kilometres every day (to circumnavigate Australia by road is around 16,000 kilometres!). Adults take an average of 18,000 to 30,000 breaths a day, and for the most part, all these functions take place without our awareness. Amazing!

Stop and take a few minutes to acknowledge and thank your Creator for the amazing things He did with that first clump of dirt!
