A fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God.'

The answer to the issue on the fundamentals of Creationism vs Evolutionism was answered sooner than I expect, and I believe it's God given, really.

Snr Pastor was away in Israel for the past week and Pastor Lian was preaching during the mid-week bible study as well as the Sunday Service. And in both messages, somehow, she touched on the subject. Having been attending the services regularly, the topic on creationism was seldom preached on, as far as I can remember. So it was an awesome feeling when Pastor Lian taught on Friday night about how we were "fearfully and wonderfully made" and that "we are not here by chance". And when she opened yesterday's sermon with references to the creation theory, and made mention about Charles Darwin and the Theory of Evolution, wow~ I knew then that God had made it His concern for what goes on even in my thoughts.

"The need of the World is to listen to God."-Albert Einstein

"For you formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvellous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.  My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth." - Psalms 139:13-15

Indeed, when I read the study text on the Prenatal Development, which spans the 9 months between conception and birth, I can only say that it is simply amazing!

From the fertilized egg (zygote), begins a process of cell division - one cell becomes two, two becomes four.... until about 150 cells after 10 days and at this stage it becomes an embryo. The genetic plan begins to form at this stage, with the cells begining to specialise as components of particular organ systems (differentiation). There is the nervous system, the skin, the muscles, the bones, blood vessels, internal organs, digestive system, lungs, glands, ... and millions of specialized cells. And then, in 3 weeks time, you get the heartbeat, a reflexive response to stimulation! It's so amazing, that from a single cell, a complex life is formed.

And, I, am one from such a development! Certainly, I am not here by chance. I am fearfully and wonderfully made!

"The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God.' " - Psalm 14:1

And Pastor Lian went on the explain the awesome reason behind the creation story, the 6 days of creation, on how He completed everything for man, His crowning creation to enjoy, how He let man have the freedom of choice, of choosing between the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, of how, unless we are capable of choosing, we will never be able to love; of how man made the wrong choice and how God break from His rest to give us again the completed works..... the completed work of Jesus' death on the cross, paying the price for restoring us.

Yes, we have an awesome God whose heart is a father's heart of love!
