Why are nature and the universe so ordered and rational?

“The Origin of Species…”?

With the mention of nature and the universe, most people would think of Evolution and the Big Bang Theory.

Not surprising, since we have had those 2 hypotheses ‘rammed down our throats’ since primary school. They are very stong belief systems in our society!

However, neither should encourage order and rationality by their nature. If true, both should be intrinsically random and chaotic.

Darwin’s book in the title promises revelation as to the origin of life. However, the book mostly speaks of Natural Selection, something which almost no-one would disagree about. As for origin of life, there still is no evidence of a living organism, no matter how simple, ever being produced from non-life, even up to this day.

For me, the only feasible explanation is that God created nature and the universe with order and rationality, just as he himself is.

God also, in the process, created Science. Nowadays it is as if we have taken over Science as if it is our own creation, giving no credit to God.

What do you think?

Are we without excuse?

Challenge yourself…

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.“

Romans 1:18 (NIV)(www.laridian.com)

The bottom line claim from that passage in the Bible is that “people are without excuse”.

That was the question. What do you think?

That is God’s claim, coming from Paul.

God says that “what has been made”, that is the world around us as we see and feel it, is the evidence for his claim that he exists. And not only do we need to acknowledge that he exists, but also, that we will be held accountable to him.

I heartily and happily accept that, since I see his hand all around in the world, nature and the sky above. But, most don’t…

What are your reasons for not accepting his claims?
