Where Did All the Laws Come From?

“It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.”
G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Atheism has concluded that the Universe was the product of a giant explosion in ages past, which they call “The Big Bang Theory”: In the beginning there was nothing.
And out of nothing came an explosion, from which the Universe was born.
And out of this chaos came a well-ordered, and very beautiful and awesome Universe in which all things operate according to laws: innumerable laws!
.
Do you see the contradiction of such an idea? According to them, out of merely nothing, came law and order as well as poetic beauty and majesty!
.
Does this sound absurd?
.
Yes, it’s ridiculous to even imagine for a moment, that out of nothing came an explosion which resulted in a well-ordered and beautifully awesome universe which operates by innumerable laws!
.

LAW & ORDER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE
.
From the tiniest pa
rticle of an atom, to the greatest of all galaxies…there is law and order.
Laws concerning gravity.
Laws concerning food.
Laws concerning music…and motion…and mechanics.
Laws concerning all creatures, great and small.
From the tiniest amoeba to the great whales of the oceans.
Laws about the Earth, and fire and air…and laws about water.
Laws about health and laws about UN-health.
.
Everything operates by laws…millions and billions of laws! Laws which require obedience, and laws which impose penalties for DISobedience.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE JOY OF LAW & ORDER
.
If you would ask a scientist why he or she loves science, you would be sure to hear the answer, “Because all nature operates by Law & Order!”
.
Yes, this is the one great reason why there are scientists! Because all of nature is very predictable, as long as that scientist is familiar with the various laws of whatever he is researching.

NATURE’S POETRY…
.
But not only does nature operate by laws, but nature operates in beauty and in poetry, too!
.
Does Man imagine that this drop of water looking like a beautiful water crown is just a freak accident of nature? No! It tells of Jesus’ kingly majesty as He offers all to drink freely of the “Water of Life”…
“And He said unto me, It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely”
(Revelation 21:6).
.
And so, this water-drop is a visual metaphor, and a marvelous poetic statement made by nature…spoken to Man: Man, the crown of God’s Creation and the only being on Earth who can appreciate its beauty and poetry. Just an accident?

THE SPIDER: A SYMBOL OF EVIL
.
Does Mankind think some “Big Bang” could ever have produced this scary-looking spider and its web…a perfect illustration of how evil desires to ensnare fallen men in its web of addictions and deceptions?
.
So here too is poetry…howbeit the more frightful.
But a very necessary metaphor to help us to understand sin and Satan.

A WORLD OF LIES
.
With all this law & order, it would seem like a very elementary conclusion, that this beautiful and poetic and allegorically-instructive universe is the creation of an all-wise and all-powerful Creator!
.
But in defense of scientists, we have an enemy, who has…
“blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
2nd Corinthians 4:4.
.
Yes, 2nd Corinthians 4:4 calls him, “the god of this world”!
.
We have all been deceived, and not just scientists!

THE VERY GOOD NEWS!
.
And so, we live in a world which is a great contradiction!
.
That is, though we see all this 
beauty and law & order, and poetry, and allegorical-wisdom in nature!
.
But we also see a world filled with lost souls in rebellion against the goodness and law & order which governs the universe!
.
And thus, mankind is confused by these two great opposing forces! Good and evil now exists together.

“that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!”
John 3:16
.
But the very Good News is, that the all-wise, and all-benevolent God has given us a Book which makes sense of all this very confusing world!
.
And by reading that Book, we discover that this loving Creator has sent His only begotten Son into this lost world, that, “that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!” John 3:16

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Give me the joy of knowing more about the wonders of nature. Help me to see, not only the beauty and love, and poetry of nature, and wisdom of nature, but also to realize that this universe is governed by law and order…

THE MOON: A HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON
.
When God created the Moon and the stars, He ordained them to “rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). The Moon, especially when it is full, can light your pathway through the night, as it reflects the light of the Sun.
.
So too, the Christian is to be a light to the world: to this sin-darkened world. But as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world, so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion. Listen…
.
“Ye are the light of the world…
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16
.
However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face.
.
This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord.
.
Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the “Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).
