(Psalms 33:6-9 NIV) “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. {7} He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. {8} Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. {9} For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.”
(Colossians 1:15-17 NIV) “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. {16} For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. {17} He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
The marvelously complex and vast universe we live in was created by God. The physical laws of the universe that bring order to our existence were created by our Lord. God is the creator of all things, and that includes you and me. You were God’s idea. He chose to create you. That’s why we worship Him. The evolution versus creation debate really boils down to who will be worshipped. If everything in the cosmos just happened, if we did simply evolve from some single-celled creature into all that we see now, then why worship God? Maybe we should worship nature. Some religions do exactly that. Or perhaps we should even worship man himself, as the end result of evolutionary progress. Some people today also do that. But, if God created and sustains the universe, this world, and us -- He is worthy of our worship. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
