Did you know that previously unknown species of animals, insects, reptiles, and plants are discovered all the time? Did you know that this has been happening in the Mekong Delta region for the past TEN years at a rate of two species a week? These aren’t “new” species, by the way (Creation ended on Day 6), they are simply “new” to us.

When the media reports 1,000 newly discovered species should we be surprised?  Not really, but the hearts of believers should skip a beat with excitement and awe at the ongoing pagent of Creation that is compliments of our God. “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” – 1 Cor. 10:26

Here’s a clip from the World Wildlife Fund showing just a small fraction of all the species that we have never known before. Watch out for that hot pink centipede…it produces cyanide!

Matthew Fountaine Maury (1806-1873) is known as the Father of Oceanography.  Using Psalm 8:8 as his guide, he was determined to learn what “the paths of the seas” were, and he did just that, discovering what we call today ocean currents.  Even Wikipedia notes his complete reliance up on Scriptures for his endeavors, “Maury lived by the Scriptures; he fully and unconditionally believed in what the Holy Scriptures stated; he hardly ever spoke or wrote without the inclusion of scriptural references; he prayed every day.”

Hear what the man himself once said.  Maury’s daughter wrote a book in 1888 about her famous father and recorded these words:

“I have been blamed by men of science, both in this country and in England, for quoting the Bible in confirmation of the doctrines of physical geography. The Bible, they say, was not written for scientific purposes, and is therefore of no authority in matters of science. I beg pardon! The Bible is authority for everything it touches…The Bible is true and science is true, and therefore each, if truly read, but proves the truth of the other.”

Did you see this?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/09/20/hadron.collider.damage.ap/index.html

Incidentally, did you see anything in the news that the super collider was dead *just 36 hours* after it was fired up?! No, you didn’t. That’s partly because the agency that boasted of it with such fanfare (CERN) didn’t announce the thing had broken until two days ago.

As for the thing failing, doesn’t surprise me at all, except for how quickly it did…and now they’ve done let their Lemon Law window close so they’re stuck with the thing.

Men set out to prove a big bang that never happened but Genesis 1:1 still stands. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Psalm 2 sums up how God doesn’t even have to lift a finger to show how foolish the “wisdom” of men is. In this case all He had to do is tell a couple of superconducting magnets to sieze up and they immediately obeyed.  No irreverance intended, but “Go God!” I think that is just the coolest

Dear scientists at CERN, this one’s for you:

Psalm 2
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

One of the first objections whenever someone challenges the Bible is, “So you really believe God created everything in six 24-hour days?!”

If you have been stumped by just having “Yes” as your answer, let me help you with two thoughts:

1. The folks at Answers In Genesis have done a wonderful job with this one.  In short:  Before sin entered the world there was no death.  So no creature, down to the lowest organism, could have yet died, so creation could not have occurred over millions of years.
2. My favorite answer:  God is God!  The true miracle of creation is not that God created everything in six 24-hour days…its that He chose to take so long!  Folks, we serve the LORD OF EVERYTHING…He could’ve just as easily done it in six seconds!

Creation in six literal days??  Pfft!!  Puhleez…that’s a no-brainer…let’s move on…”Would you consider yourself a good person?”

P.S.: Incidentally, “Yes” is a perfectly reasonable answer by itself.  The Bible is not the one on the witness stand. “Let God be true and every man a liar.” (Rom 3:4)
