Einsteins God
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalm 19:1
When the great physicist Albert Einstein was asked if he believed in God, he responded: We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. . . . That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human beings toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws. Although Einstein marveled at the design he saw in nature, he did not believe in a personal Creator.
The psalmist shared Einsteins sense of awe about nature but took the next step and believed in the Designer behind the design: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork (Ps. 19:1).
The wonder we feel as we behold our universe should serve as a road sign pointing to the One who created it. The Scriptures tell us, All things were made through [Christ], and without Him nothing was made that was made (John 1:3).
Are you struggling in your beliefs? Look up at the stars tonight. In the sky is crafted an amazing road sign pointing to the Designer behind the design.
God wrote His autograph
Upon the sky last night,
In the stars I never saw
A signature so bright! Schoeberlein
