“Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace” (Proverbs 3:17).
“The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens,” God knew that people were going to reject Him, and reject the Bible, and reject the wisdom from above. Paul writes: “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God [They knew God, they knew the things of God, but refused to glorify Him as God], neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things” (Romans 1:19-23 KJV).
Man began to worship man, humanism, evolution, all that business. God knew they were going to do that, so He set a little trap for them. The Bible says He created the earth by Wisdom: “Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man [Act like a man, quit whimpering, Job]; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me” (Job 38:1-3 KJV).
Job had been accusing God of unrighteousness through this thing, and God is straightening the record.
“Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding” (Job 38:4 KJV). “The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth,” and when He did, when He laid the foundations of this earth, and created it out of nothing, He created it with a history that it did not have, in order to completely throw the scientists a curve. That is very important. When He created man, he created him full grown, when He created trees, and everything else, He created them with the appearance of age—with a history that they did not have—to confound the scientists.
So, all the strata, and everything beneath it, ten minutes after He created it you would think it had been there a million years to look at it. He created it that way because He knew that man would be crooked in his heart. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings” (Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV).
When a man wants to reject God and His revelation, God will give them the means to do it! God will give him a lie. God created this world in such a way that if a man wants to reject God and refuse His truth, he can find a so-called proof of evolution. Now he can’t find it universally, but he can find little pieces of evidence here and there, God left just enough just to mess them up. “The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.”
