In the news today, promoting his new book, Stephen Hawking writes, “Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist,”
“Create itself from nothing”? And such men accuse the God fearing man as having a blind faith? The question he does not touch upon is, “How can nothing do anything?” Paul spoke of such men in his letter to the saints at Rome. “Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. (Rom 1:22-23)
It seems to me that Hawking goes even a step further and says that nothing created itself and then goes to the creature saying that once again by spontaneous creation non-existing life brought itself into being. This is of course against all logic and natural reasons. Little wonder God said, “Professing themselves to be wise they became fools.”
Reason alone tells us that there had to be a “Self-existing, eternal, all wise, all powerful God” to bring all things into existence.
Sadly our young people in the public schools and universities will be taught such foolishness, and sadder yet it will affect their non-thinking minds. And sadder yet even some of our “Reformed” brothers in the church tell us that there are 3 or 4 views of creation acceptable in ones interpretation of Genesis one. Once again, that thinking goes against all logic and reason as only one view can be right, it is impossible for all four views to be correct. May God enable the faithful church to reject Satan’s question when he would ask regarding Exodus 20:11 “Did God really say 6 days?”
May God grant the church the wisdom to take a stand with the Apostle Paul and stand firm against those who, “professing themselves to be wise have become fools.”
