When I read that NASA
sent men into space and back using a huge roomful of computers less powerful
than the one in my cell phone, I started thinking about the intelligence of men
and their choices.
During my lifespan we have gone from bicycles, cars, and single-engine aircraft to jet airplanes, the internet, rocket ships, and each innovator bringing something new looked at the previous generation as primitive, ignorant, out of date. I wonder though, didn’t it require just as much ingenuity and genius to invent the first wheel, wagon, or car? Or to progress from sign language to the quill, the first printing press, telegraph, telephone, internet? Each new invention was built upon knowledge of some previous machine serving mankind. And that’s important to remember.

Many scientists say man is master of this world; there is no
God. They will tell you firmly, as if they were there, that the world just
happened. No plan, no creator, just BANG! This wonderfully coordinated,
complex, beautiful world just happened? I find it interesting that of the various branches of
science, there are more Christians among astronomers than in any other field of science. They have
looked beyond this world and have seen the vastness of space and its many universes,
all so beautifully created to work in harmony and therefore many astronomers dismiss the big bang theory.
Psalm 19:1 says The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Many people worship the creation rather than the Great Creator. They say man is the ultimate authority, in control of his fate. They say they can create life, meaning cloning, but that's not creating; it's reproducing/remodeling. Throughout my 8+ decades, I have learned to know and trust my Creator, my Savior, my Father in heaven. If I'm wrong, oops. At least I enjoyed the relationship I believed I had. Although, if I'm right, these other folks are quite probably in trouble, big trouble.
