"Look! I Am Making All Things New"

 Continue with The God of the Bible

During recent centuries, men of science have given much time to studying the works of creation. What have they concluded?  One of the pioneers in the field of electricity, the well-known British physicist Lord Kelvin, declared:  "I believe the more thoroughly science is studied the further does it take us from anything compared to atheism."  The European-born scientist Albert Einstein, though reputed to be an atheist, confessed:  "It is enough for me to .  . .reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe, which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifest in nature."  The American scientist and Nobel prize winner Arthur Holly Compton said:  "An orderly unfolding universe testifies to  the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered-'In the beginning God.' " He was quoting the opening  words of the Bible.  

Rulers of might nations may boast of their intelligence and scientific accomplishments in the conquest of outer space.  But how insignificant their space satellites are when compared with the moon that orbits the earth, and the planets that orbit the sun!  How puny the achievements of these mortal men in comparison with Jehovah's creation of billions of heavenly galaxies, each containing billions of suns like our  own, and his grouping and setting them in space for measureless time!  (Psalm 19:1, 2; Job 26:7, 14) It is no wonder that Jehovah regards men as mere grasshoppers, and mighty nations "as nothing." -Isaiah 40: 13-18, 22.  

Did you live in a house? Probably you did not build the house yourself, nor do you know who did. However, the fact that you do not know the builder would not prevent you from accepting the  truth that some intelligent person built it. To reason that the house built itself would appear very foolish!  Since the great universe, and everything in it, required infinitely greater intelligence for its construction, is it not reasonable to conclude that there must be an Intelligent Creator?  Truly, only the senseless one would say  in his heart, "There is no Jehovah." -Psalm 14:1; Hebrews 3:4.
