God is not the
subject of science because He cannot be experimented on or called into an
equation. Science can only study what they can see or measure and all unseen
theoretical entities are simply modern myths even if a scientist defines seeing
in a different way than a non-scientist does. Saying that they have faith that
one day they will prove something they cannot prove merely moves that
scientist’s faith into the realm of religion. Faith is not science and science
is not faith. Science has limits. Faith is only limited by God’s will for that
person having the faith. One can study the mechanism by which a thing is done
but no one can study God unless He chooses to reveal Himself as He has done in
the Bible.
We must also
recognize just how much modern theoretical science is influenced by 19th
century occultism as well as by Soviet Communism.[1]
God’s creation of
the universe is not only confirmed by Moses, writing Genesis under the
inspiration of God, but also Isaiah.
Isaiah
42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that
created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth,
and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it,
and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isaiah
45:18 For thus saith the LORD that
created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath
established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am
the LORD; and there is none else.
King
David;
Psalm
33:6 By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
And
the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Mark
13:19 For in those days shall be
affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God
created unto this time, neither shall be.
Science requires
that if you put forth a proposition, a statement of presumed fact, that you
should be able to make certain predictions from it. This verse says that God
created. So, one could logically assume that since an intelligent entity
created everything that a certain degree of design and order must be present in
it as in our experience order does not come from disorder without intelligent
guidance. This is, indeed, the case. Physicists are looking for a unifying
“theory of everything.” Well, it is right here in front of us. He is the God of
the Bible. His existence explains everything from how the universe is held
together to the moral sense of human beings as you will see in the following
study.
Who is God? He is
the uncreated person and entity who created all that is. He simply is, as He
said Himself, I AM THAT I AM.
Exodus
3:13 And Moses said unto God, Behold,
when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of
your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name?
what shall I say unto them? 14 And God
said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
It is a
nonsensical question to ask who created God. Such a question is a philosophical
absurdity. It is like asking; could God create a rock so heavy He could not
lift it? Such questions are the pure gibberish of the skeptic whose mind is
blinded by the god of this world, Satan.
God is the source
of all reality; seen and unseen. In Job God states that everything from dust
forming into a clod of dirt in a farmer’s field to lions catching their prey,
with the movements of distant galaxies to rain happening in places on earth
where there is no man are all direct results of His direct actions. Read Job,
chapter 38. God is not a watchmaker winding up the clock and walking away or
standing to admire His work. He makes the hands move and the tick-tock sound is
part of His second-by-second control of all events. So, scientific thought,
even with Christians since Isaac Newton, by reducing God to the ultimate first
cause without an active role in every moment of our existence, is just simply
one of the things that is in error about modern thinking. Nothing happens by
itself without direction, meaningless and pointless, a result of blind chance.
Absolutely nothing.
The question
always arises. Why does calamity and disaster happen if God is good? We will be
forced to discuss that later.
