Everyone Knows God Thru His Creation

[Podcast Episode 34] What does the natural world really say about where it came from? The Bible gives us a very clear answer that it points towards God as Creator. We explore both the Bible and a couple examples of how this idea works out as we look around us. Then, we share some things we’ve examined under the microscope.

Key Bible passages

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7-10

[Bonus] The book of Job older than Genesis? Check out what Dr. Henry M. Morris has to say about it:

Except for the first eleven chapters of Genesis, which almost certainly were originally written by Adam, Noah, the sons of Noah, and Terah, then eventually edited by Moses (compare with “Introduction” to Genesis), the book of Job is probably the oldest book in the Bible. It contains more references to Creation, the Flood and other primeval events than any book of the Bible except Genesis, and provides more insight into the age-long conflict between God and Satan than almost any other book.

 

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-23

Microscope notes

As you heard, it doesn’t take much to make for an interesting study of the miniature world around us. Pretty much anything God made is going to be fascinating up close!

We really enjoy the videos Mark Armitage posts for us to experience with his world class equipment, too. He’s got two YouTube channels:

• Backyard Microscope designed for kids
• His Regular Channel with more big ideas, but still fascinating things like dinosaur cells and wiggly pollen
