Finding God in Nature, part 2 ................. When I look at the world the first thing that I notice is that it exists. I know this is obvious, but it is important. I also know that it is illogical for something to exist without having a beginning. So how did everything get here? One must believe that either it was always here and had no beginning, or "Something" else was always here and made everything. Now since it is illogical for anything to exist without beginning, then the most logical answer would be that only one "Thing" broke this logic as opposed to all things breaking the logic. In other words, it makes more sense to believe that only one "Power" always existed than to believe that the star in the sky, and the bird in the air, and rock on the ground, etc. have always existed (in some form of either energy or matter). Similarly, the existence of nature leads one to believe that there is an Eternal Power, who created the universe, because it is the most logical explanation. |

Finding God in Nature, part 3 .................. The second thing that I notice about the universe is that there is an enormous amount of energy and matter in it. The laws of entropy state that systems always go from a state of order and high energy to a state of disorder and low energy. A good example of this is a child's bedroom, but we can see this in nature constantly. The lesson that we learn from this is that it is not possible to for a creative force to make something with more energy than it had to begin with. Therefore, the "Eternal Power" that made the universe must have more power than all the energy in the universe combined. In fact, that "Eternal Power" must be practically infinitely powerful. Thus one can learn that there is an "Omnipotent, Eternal Power". |

Scripture ... Gen 1:1ff, Psa 19:1-3, Rom 1:18-20 ... Sir Pent, Here are three passages that I can know God by looking a nature ... that is why ALL are without excuse. We still need to go, so they hear , believe and call on Him, so they are saved (Rom 10:15-13). Being of a simpler mind, I read that the sun, moon, asteriods ... are in perfect place for us to exist. God made and controls all the energy. We do need to be careful not to worship nature, becuase they are not gods and have no power in themselves, except by the All Powerful God. Tahnk you for the input, Searcher |
