Creation--Not Chaos

A while back, some of you may recall my posting called “A New View of the Universe”. It included some amazing pictures of galaxies and stars, along with some scale representations of the planets in our solar system along side the sun, which was along side some larger stars…you get the idea. The point was to show just how big the universe is, and how small we are in comparison—and yet God says that he measures it with the breadth of His hand.
Recently, someone who goes by “Travis” posted a comment on that post. He (or she, but I’m just assuming he) said, quote:

This just proves how random the universe is and how much we dont matter. There should be trillions and trillions of other planets with intelgent life.

Do you really think God killed him self on each of them?

Look at these pictures your evolved bacterea on a pebble.

Instead of replying to the comment in the comments to that post, I decided this was a big enough issue that I wanted to devote an entire blog post to it.
So, Travis, let me address your words:

First of all, I’m curious as to how you find chaos and randomness in any of those pictures. The universe, specifically galaxies and stars in this case, follow very rigid rules. Gravity. Centrifugal force. The laws of thermodynamics. And a lot of things that I don’t understand because science is not my forte. But the point is that the rules exist.

Everything—from the smallest nano-cell in your DNA, to the largest galaxy out there—follows these rules. They operate on a regulated system that baffles leading scientists in its complexity. There is no room for chaos in such complex systems as the blood-clotting mechanism, the process of photosynthesis, or the pupal transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly. “Random” simply doesn’t cut it.

Second, your comment about “trillions and trillions of other planets with intelgent[sic] life”. First of all, as a high school teacher once said—it’s hard enough to find intelligent life here on earth. What makes you think it’s anywhere else? LOL.

To be serious though, I doubt you’ve been watching the Science Channel lately. If you had been, you would have seen them stating—over and over again—how they’re this close to finding an Earth-like planet. They study the light from stars eclipsed by orbiting planets, and calculate the size, shape, and distance from the star using mathematical principles that hurt my brain to contemplate. However, as one scientist stated, they’ve “been surprised every time.” He went on to say that it’s possible that “Earth is a cosmic freak. No one believes that, but we all fear it.”

I personally think that they may be right. Earth is a cosmic freak—rather, not a freak, but a hand-made creation specifically designed with a Plan in mind. I would love to think that there may be other “earths” out there—what fan of sci-fi wouldn’t? But I’d be willing to bet that the most “life” we’ll ever find will be of the bacterial sort, if that. God created life that is able to survive in the most hostile places on Earth—I suppose he could have created it to live on a planet a zillion light years away. But intelligent life? Nah.

Precisely because of your next sentence. No, I don’t think that the Christ event happened on any planet or world but ours. When Jesus was on the cross, he said “It is finished.” As in, done. Completed. Mission accomplished.
He didn’t say—“Ok, I’m done here, next destination, the Planet Zurlog!” No; it is finished, and all is well. No alien races that need salvation, no far off worlds requiring a Messiah. The work of the Cross was complete, with no need for a sequel.

As for being, as you so eloquently put it: evolved bacterea [sic] on a pebble, I can only sigh. What will it take before people finally start to see the fallacies of a theory that has been “rewritten” several times since its conception? Darwin didn’t even know about atoms or radiometric dating, and yet evolutionary scientists try to force the “evidence” to fit their preconceived notions.
They even believe in miracles to save their theory. Like the dinosaur that was being excavated, and when they accidentally dropped one of the leg bones, it busted open. Wonder of wonders, what do they find? Soft tissue. Un-fossilized cells. The thing has been dead and buried for 60 billion+ years, and it’s somehow managed to escape being completely fossilized. It’s a miracle.

I could say a lot more right now, but this has already been long enough. However, please feel free to leave comments, and I’ll respond to the best of my abilities.

Very sincerely,
~Trav
