From Eliyahu

 

Consider this:

 

The pursuit of science without God has brought the world to a crisis of cosmic proportions. I am not talking about the boogey men of climate change or over-population. Neither am I referring to the real threat of nuclear destruction, genetic annihilation, or some other yet unknown black ball of destruction being cooked up in some hidden laboratory by over-educated mad scientists who would easily sell out the whole world for grant money and 'recognition.'  No, the crisis I am talking about that has been brought about by atheistic science is the crisis of meaninglessness.

 

The problem is this: Atheistic, materialist science has one strict assumption - no God and no supernatural world. Science as we have come to know it today starts from the assumption that all can be explained by so-called 'natural' means. Of course, it is self-evident that something must account for the presence of all creation, including the most difficult of all, intelligent human beings. Since materialist science is not allowed to even consider an actual Creator as the first cause, they are forced to find a substitute for God as Creator. Charles Darwin famously attempted to fill that massive void with a proposed natural process of evolution. Since then, evolution is the god worshipped by the devotees of the science religion.

 

In their minds evolution is every bit as powerful a creator as any that could be imagined. According to their mythology, which of course they regard as fact, evolution literally caused 'nothing' to explode in a big bang that created everything. Of course, no one observed this miracle of evolution, nor have the high priests of science ever been able to duplicate such a thing in a lab. You just have to take it on faith. After evolution created the universe out of nothing it went on to create all of the natural laws of physics and everything else in the universe - everywhere.

 

Evolution even created the earth with a finely tuned environment perfectly suited for life. Then evolution caused some bit of inanimate matter - a particle of mud - to spring into the form of a one-cell living thing, complete with a complex DNA code making it possible for that cell to reproduce. Reproduce it did, into every known form of life on earth, at each new stage writing ever more complex DNA code to enable each new life form to spring into the world and reproduce. The biggest miracle of all is that evolution did all of that with no intelligence and no purpose - all of the trillions upon trillions of steps in the creation of the universe and all that is in it were completed by nothing more than dumb chance. It was like playing every lottery on earth forever and always getting the right number - completely by accident.

 

The myth of evolution gives science a powerful god indeed, if only it were true. Of course, no truly sane mind could ever agree with such an insane religion, because the claims for evolution - for dumb chance - are neither provable nor possible. Besides that, evolution has a really nasty downside; it gives man absolutely no meaning for existing, and an absolute certainty of ultimate meaninglessness. That's because just as evolution created everything - it must destroy everything in the end. This gives the question 'what's it all for?' a decidedly dismal answer. The only answer the evolution god allows to that question is: your life is absolutely meaningless. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending how you see it, human beings need to have meaning to be ok. It looks like evolution messed up on that one. 

 

The truly great minds of history never fell for the distorted science I'm talking about. For example, perhaps the greatest scientific mind ever, Sir Isaac Newton, spent more time writing about the Bible than about science. Newton's science was studying the Creation to better know the Creator. I'm sure he would have nipped the Darwin farce in the bud, had he lived that long.

 

Many other great minds could be cited, who have seen the necessity of God.

What does God Himself think of this? Scripture says:

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none (of them) who does good. YHWH looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Psalms 14:1-2

YHWH cares, and He gets personally involved with those who seek Him. He is constantly observing us all, seeking for those who are seeking Him. For those who know Him, it is not about pacifying their fears with a god of their own imagination, as we are often accused of by the spiritually ignorant. Rather, it is an actual experience with a real person, just like having a relationship with any other person - except this Person is your Father in Heaven who created you and loves you. This goes way beyond the confines of religious ritual and tradition. This is a heart to heart relationship that brings eternal meaning into all one does. This is what you were created for, and it is the best!

 

What does God want from you? What do loving parents want from their children of any age? A relationship of acknowledgement, respect and love. If you owe this to your loving parents how much moreso to your Creator?

 

You are a unique creation and there is no other person exactly like you. Why is that? Because you are not just an accident of birth! You were created with a unique purpose according to the will of your Creator. At the same time, what makes you a person is that you have free will. You get to choose whether you will seek out your Creator, get to know Him, and then do His unique will for your life! Sadly, most people decide to do whatever pleases them, rather than pleasing Him. In the short run that may seem to be more fun. In the longer run, it means living a life of vanity and meaninglessness.

 

Why do some people choose His way instead of their own? The answer is in the relationship they develop with Him. Many start out like Moses, who really didn't want to do the will of YHWH, who only did it because, in his case, YHWH would not take 'no' for an answer. After walking in YHWH's will and getting to know Him Moses fell in love with Him. Moses found everything that is admirable and worthwhile in his Heavenly Father, and came to understand that the meaning of his life could only be found in YHWH. Moses said to YHWH:

"Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight...”  Exodus 33:13

All the great men and women of God first came to that same place that Moses expressed. For example, David said:

"Show me Your ways, O YHWH; Teach me Your paths." Psalms 25:4

What is it that brings a person to this place of wanting to know our Father's ways, so as to please Him above all else? In a word: Love. To know Him is to love Him. To love Him is to do His will.

 

When all of us who are His children come to love Him with the fullness of love He so richly deserves from us, amazing things are going to happen! No one can out-love YHWH, nor can anyone out-give our grand Creator! As surely as He lives forever, so shall we, His children - and so much more. As it has been written,

"Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard," nor has it risen up into the heart of man, the things which Elohim has prepared for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

While we can't even imagine, right now, the fullness of the love gifts that YHWH holds in store for those who love Him, we do know some of it. This relationship/fellowship with our Creator holds the ultimate meaning for our lives. We will be exploring some of this tonight at our Tsiyon meeting at Tsiyon.Net starts at 8 PM, CST. Could you use some encouragement during these troubled times? Then this meeting is just what you need!

 

Blessings and good health to you,
