THE WORK OF PRECISION THAT NATURE IS...
... Cannot be Conceivable in the Absence of Divine Intelligence
Nature is the constitution of the divine government, appointed the responsibility of ruling the material world.
Nature is God’s Signature
God-deniers work overtime trying to convince people who lack divine conviction that after a natural explanation of something is provided, it is a necessary elimination of the divine factor. The truth of the matter, however, is that nature is God’s handiwork, therefore, natural explanation of things can never substitute the divine intelligence in explaining origin and existence. Nature, in essence, is God’s signature and no one can fake it.
Nature exits to do God’s bidding (Psalm 104:19); it governs as it is also divinely governed:
“Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?” —Job 38:8-11.
The Bible says the following about nature (in part):
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.” —Psalm 19:1-4.
George Washington Carver, the American nature-lover and inventor (1864—1943), must have been referring to this Psalm when he said: “I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.”
If you love God, you will definitely understand nature more than if you don’t love Him. The reason is that it was from God that man got the mandate to have dominion over nature. This dominion entails the management, utilization and appreciation of nature.
The magnum opus that nature is,
Cannot be a random sampling of purposelessness,
For nature is a necessary product of a stunning success.
The tour de force that nature is,
Can never be the work of an accident,
For accident cannot culminate into something intelligent.
The predictability that nature is,
Can never be a logical product of chance;
For chance and predictability produce no congruence.
The jig-saw-fit that nature is,
Cannot be attributed to mindlessness,
For mindlessness doesn’t fit in with purposefulness.
The masterpiece that nature is,
Is the doing of an infinite architectural brilliance.
For natural laws consistently and stubbornly point to an intelligence.
Logic is in the domain of intellectualism. One cannot remain truly intellectual while disregarding the intelligent design in nature. Thus, the Bible itself calls people who deny God’s existence ‘fools’ (Ps. 14:1, 53:1). And fools are not known to be wits at logic.
What on earth other than bewitchment can make one disown the very source of his existence? What on earth other than hypnosis can make one convince himself that there is no God? What on earth other than diabolic conspiracy can make one believe the mindless ‘Big Bang’ other than the mindful ‘Big God’?
To understand and appreciate nature, listen to the Scripture.
It is only God who can build castles in the air. Planets are much heavier than castles, yet He flung them into the space and they are hanging there, not even precariously.
There is a world out there, a space;
Our planet is just a dot, held in place;
It hangs presumably precariously, with all its weight,
Establishing its foundation on His might.
Only God can do something like this,
Displaying a majesty you cannot miss,
Building castles in the air for us to stare;
He sets them ablaze, behold their flare.
When we behold the mystery of Your majesty,
Our soul worships as we appreciate the subtlety,
The sweetness of appreciating Your splendour,
Is to offer our worship in complete surrender.
You O Lord God, is wiser than wisdom;
Thank You for offering us a kingdom,
You O Lord God, is mightier than might,
We appreciate the glory of Your light.
We are the recipients of Your Great Love,
If You need worship, that’s what You’ll get.
We worship You with no reservations,
For we have partaken of life-giving revelations.
Glory to God in the highest!! Blessed are they that have made peace with God the Father.
Questions to Ponder
1. Explaining phenomena through natural rendering doesn’t eliminate God. If the quest for understanding stops at natural explanation, how can the sceptic explain things that defy natural explanation?
2. Are you aware of some happenings that cannot be explained naturally? Why is it futile to try to provide natural explanation for everything?
3. Nature has been ‘speaking’, have you been listening? What has it been telling you about God?
