Finding Yourself in the Psalms
Psalm 135
A Psalm To Help When the Wicked Blaspheme God
illus – Joe Dukes. All alone. The only Creationist cellular biologist in the UK
“Joe is in the midst of the 'lions den' being the only creationist at University of Bath – he contends with the 'high end' of the evolutionists of Science in not only the U of Bath but probably the UK.
Masters in BioChemistry and he submitted his doctoral thesis last Friday and should have defended and then know within 8 weeks if he has his Phd.”
Back to rejection of God based on lack of proof. This is ironic from scientists as let us observe the alternative: a big bang from nothing to create everything. Now one of the fundamental laws of the universe is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So energy existed forever, this explains the big bang theory and how it occurred. God existed forever and can neither be created nor destroyed. Do you see some parrallels now in these arguments? Scientists who reject the personal God reject it in favour of their own impersonal "god," the god of energy. So whether you believe in evolution by chance or one God who created things similarly, you still have to have faith that something or someone existed for all of eternity, unchanged and immortal. God or energy, both take faith. To look down on those who believe in a God who has created things we see around us is rather hypocritical when the alternative is believing that the big bang just occurred.
