In the "Beginning"....God


This week the launching of "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking hit the air waves declaring "God isn't necessary for the universe to be created....only gravity and Quantum Physics". Listening to an interview with the Co-Author, Leonard Mlodinow, he said the book is not disproving the existance of God - rather that the creation of the universe" -- In Genesis 1 it states that God created the heavens and the earth...and, it is my opinion that the laws of Gravity and Quantum Physics were also His handiwork....for God is God of order and purpose....can you imagine if there were no "Law of Gravity"??? What would hold us together, what would happen to orbits of the planets??

When I look into the Heavenlies, I see God's work.....when I look around at what I can see with my naked eye, I am at "awe" of the beauty and splendor....this doesn't even touch on the intricacy of how fearfully and wonderfully made we are...again, God knew what He was doing when he created this universe, world and our bodies.....It is His desire that each one of us "know Him" persoanally....to have a personal knowledge and growing personal relationship to God - made possible through Jesus Christ's life, death and resurrection from the dead. I am thankful that I know Jesus and God's love and Grace personally. I am thankful that these authors have noted that they do not challenge the existance of God....my prayer is that this book would not lead people to a false conclusion about God and the wonderful work of Creation.
