I go out on a clear night and look into the sky and there are millions of stars and planets although we can only see a very small portion with our naked eyes. When I was a kid growing up the term “Black Hole” was unknown except possibly by a very few scientist. Mankind had not gone into space yet. In my parents life time the Electron Microscope and the Atomic Bomb were invented. In my grandparents youth the automobile was invented.

Man by using literal count in The Bible has existed over 10,000 years. Yet in the past 100 years most of the technology some of which either by nuclear explosion or by the alteration man has done in laboratories can destroy the world many times over. What has stopped this? Anyone have the answer? What has stopped some mad man from ending life as we know it? Who/What has stood in the way to prevent it?

The stars, the distant suns and planets, we can see with our own eyes what holds them in place? What set their boundaries? By what means were they all created? What gave us life? Better yet what gave us the abilities no other portion of this creation has which is the ability to think, reason, feel emotion good or bad, love or hate? What gave us conscience and knowing right from wrong? The laws of science shows us both attracting and opposing forces. In nature we also see that when a void is created it is filled very quickly. The same laws apply spiritually.

We accept the laws of science as being fact. Although we can not see the air we breath we accept the fact that it is there. We don’t think twice about flipping a light switch and light being emitted because our own action of flipping a switch began a reaction bringing forth light. By what authority does the electrons flow? Why are you so sure that when you flip the light switch that light will happen? You certainly can’t see the electrons. Yet you believe they are there. You believe not because you yourself have seen electrons but because someone taught you this. Not even the best of minds knows how our universe was formed much less this planet and the life on it. The perfect balance which mans best efforts at detecting life elsewhere have not shown this to exist.

How come is it that many Prophecies are often fulfilled not by the ones who believe in GOD or even believers who are doing an action deliberately. Moses is the one who wrote the first four books of the Bible. The first book in The Bible {Genesis} written about 3300 years ago is the beginning of prophecies that would give hope for mankind.

If earth is billions of years old and man perhaps even as old as a million why did the point of technology we live in today take so long? If mankind is but 10,000 years old same question? Look in Egypt. There was certainly the means to construct massive structures moving massive weight and stacking it.. Later the Romans enjoyed a highly engineered water system. I’ve had Astronomers and we’ve certainly had men with the skills and abilities to forge, mold, shape, most metals for use.

Why suddenly in the past 100-125 years has mans knowledge, communications, and travel abilities suddenly vastly increased? Who told Daniel 2600 years ago about the times this world would face. Though Daniel could not fully comprehend how he was told as recorded in Chapter 12. Yet Daniel believed it in faith.

GOD’s Word The Holy Bible is a book of hope for mankind. It shows our creation, our fall, our promised salvation for those who believe, and GOD’s plan for the future which if you study closely is now unfolding at a very rapid rate. I don’t have to believe the world is billions of years old or 10,000 years. I believe GOD who created the stars I can see and this earth I live on can do both. His creation alone is proof of His existence. Yet His Word existed before this world was formed. Maybe in the next phase of my life I’ll understand the when and how. Then again why do I need to know?

I’m just amazed people have more faith in a light switch than The Divine Being we call GOD who created the heavens and the earth giving us life as well. If there is light somewhere there is darkness. If there is good someplace else there is evil another. It stands to reason there is GOD who gives life, hope, and loves us enough to offer us it eternally, then there is also one somewhere who hates us, offers only a false hope good through our next sinful pleasure, wants to destroys or relationship with GOD just as He himself did in his rebellion against GOD before the earth was formed, and in doing so torment us in eternity. GOD gives us a choice of which.
