How, Why and Who?
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." Psalm 14:1 NIV
A very popular scientist and television host had these words to say about the theory of evolution; “And I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future." And this same scientist had this to say about creation (Intelligent design), "It's just really a hard thing. You know, in another couple of centuries that world view, I'm sure, will be, it just won't exist. There's no evidence for it."
I think that the scientific community has always had trouble with faith because they seek to answer the wrong questions. Science can only answer the "how". Faith answers the "why" and the "who". Faith answers the question; “How were we created?” We were hand crafted by God as He gave us the breath of life (Genesis 2:7). “Why were we created?” To be the object of His affections, to worship Him and to do Godly good works. “Who created us?” Jehovah God.
God gave us science and minds capable of great understanding so that we can notice Him, in all that He has created (Romans 1:20). But the foolish looks at everything God has made and says that "There is no God." These people, these fools at heart, they are very much like men that look in the mirror and forget what they look like the moment they turn away (James 1:23-24). But you, you men and women of faith, you keep following what is right. If you persevere in your faith, God will keep His word and give you the Crown of Eternal Life (James 1:12).
