Creation Calls

They conveniently forget that long ago, all the

galaxies and this very planet were brought into

existence out of watery chaos by God's word.

2 Peter 3:5 

As Peter remonstrated regarding those in the church who listened only to themselves, he pointed to a truth that they had "conveniently forgotten" - that they were not gods unto themselves, but creatures brought forth from the Creator's hand.  We humans are consistent about forgetting/denying where we ultimately came from.  Peter declared it without hesitation:  Everything - all galaxies and this earth with its teeming host of man and animals - all were brought into existence by the word of God, for "...He spake and it was done; He commanded and it stood fast."

The Bible is consistent from cover to cover regarding the creatorship of all life by God Himself.  There are many who stand on the "side" of modern science and draw a line in the sand against intelligent design.  I believe that the God of creation can stand the scrutiny of modern science, and that carbon dating and tree rings do not preclude the God who spoke life into existence.  Natural selection is not a science but a theory, and it takes as much faith to believe that you came from a primordial slime pool as it does to believe that God spoke all things into existence.

I stand with Peter in the belief that the entire creation speaks to the One who fashioned it all.  Knowing that I am a created creature keeps me from forming myself into my own little godship.  I have neither the power nor the authority to control others.  God does not need my help to improve His workmanship.
