The Builder of the House

“He who hath builded the house hath more honour
than the house. For every house is builded by some man;
but he that built all things is God.” Hebrews 3:3-4
 
5-28-17, John D. Morris -- Perhaps the single greatest category of evidence for supernatural creation is in the nature of the creation itself, which everywhere shows such intricate design that it could not have come about by random chance; the human body:
​
Consider the earth: Its size, mass, distance from the sun and moon, rotational wobble, chemical makeup, etc., are critical within very narrow limits. Any significant deviation in any of these, or other characteristics, would make life impossible.

But inorganic molecules, planets, and galaxies are simpler by several orders of magnitude than even the tiniest living organism. The marvelous genetic code that regulates life, growth, and reproduction is so unthinkably complex, so obviously designed, that it would take a “willingly . . . ignorant” (2 Peter 3:5) mind to conclude a naturalistic origin for it.

Life at every stage and at every level of investigation shows symmetry in its order, purpose in its function, and interdependence between its parts; all of these are clear marks of design by an Intelligent Designer/Creator.
 
The evidence speaks so eloquently that even “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” (Romans 1:20) if they choose not to believe and therefore to merit and face His wrath (v. 18).

​“All things were created by Him,
and for Him."  Colossians 1:16

Mankind can take no pride in it nor rebellious solace in the idea of naturalistic origin, for “thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” (Revelation 4:11).

God vs The Scientist, Egor

God was sitting in heaven one day when Egor the scientist said to Him,  
“God, we don’t need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing – in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning.”

“Oh, is that so? Explain…” replies God.

Egor answered, “Well, we can take dirt and form it into the
likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man.”

“Well, that’s very interesting… show Me.”

Egor then bends down to the earth and starts to
mold the soil into the shape of a man.

“No, no, no…” interrupts God, “Get your own dirt!”
