At
the same time, after decades of watching evolutionary news headlines boast of
things that just ain't so, and reading the testimonies of scientists who both
know Jesus Christ as Creator and Redeemer, and are above reproach in their
scientific practices, I still feel joy whenever I hear some new way that the
creation gives glory to the God who created.[1]
The
fact is that, in the beginning there was no big bang that brought something out
of nothing. Instead, there was the uncreated God who created everything out of
himself.[2]
Today's light waves give glory to God whose first command of creation was, "Let there be light!" And when
he spoke these words, "there was
light."[3]
I
write this because so many think that the announcement of a scientist
discovering something unique about light waves actually enables him to extend
this measurement down through the ages that could be any length an evolutionist
wishes them to be. All these scientists are really seeing is something
wonderful about the light that God created in the beginning. Whatever it is
doing now, or appears to be doing now, is simply the ripple-effect of God
speaking it into existence by his word.
Since
the heavens continue to give glory to God,[4]
including light-waves rippling out into the furthest reaches of the heavens, I
thought I would join their song this morning and deny that the glory of the
light of the heavens belongs to some impersonal and impossible explosion from
the distant past of some far-flung imagination.[5]
Instead,
by God’s own breathed-out words we know that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. He was
in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any
thing made that was made.”[6]
Now, this being true, guess what else God offers us along
with the glorious testimony of the light-rippling heavens. Look at this
wonderful blessing of wisdom and knowledge: “For God, who said, ‘Let
light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ.”[7]
Isn’t
that beautiful! The same God who flung light into existence, and made us in his
image so that we could figure out how to look so far into space that we could
distinguish one kind of light-wave from another, invites us to see in Jesus Christ
our Creator the glory of God in the face of his Son, the true Light of the
World!
And,
if Jesus still says to us today, “I am
the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not
walk in darkness, but will have the light
of life”,[8]
let us not allow any blind, big-bang-believing evolutionist keep us from knowing
the light of the world who created all the light we will ever find in the
heavens. Perhaps one day we will hear of even this scientist truly seeing the
light!
