The Foundation of Creation Studies
If you want to understand this universe that we live in, you must first set aside any notions about the so-called, “big bang” myth and all that. Any attempt to explain the creation of the universe and us without acknowledging the One behind it all is a total waist of time and energy.
Remember, asserting that there isn’t a person behind all of this will never make Him go away! It will only come back to haunt you as the immensity and power of His being confronts you in the end. I hope any who fail to admit this reality and worse yet, tells others that there is no Creator, will return to their senses and begin to appreciate the great things that our Creator has done on our behalf.
The “scientific establishment” has gone down for the count and I don’t see an easy road to recovery for those who have signed oaths against “creationism” and “intelligent design” and anything that questions Darwin’s creation stories.
But, this presents those of us who accept and embrace the reality of a created universe, with a great opportunity to start fresh with a purely humble and respectful perspective on the study of “nature”. How did the Creator make everything so that it works together so wonderfully despite the huge diversity of living things should remind us constantly that He is the only true personification of “brilliance”! Though we may advance in our very crude basic knowledge of some small aspects of the physical, visible universe and living things, we must always remind ourselves that we’ve only scratched the surface of the hows and whys.
Nature was designed for our benefit as not only a support system for mankind, but also as a great educational system to help us grow and mature as people. We don’t need any special credentials or training to be involved. Just an open mind and heart!
