“For the invisible things of Him
from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made,
even His eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse”
Romans 1:20

In that wonderful book, Pilgrim’s Progress, there was a character, named “Atheist”.
.
And this man (as this picture depicts) was a man with bad eyesight (blinded by the god of this world).
.
And the artist of this picture was not too gentle in his portrayal of Mr. Atheist.
But in a day and age in which militant atheists are forcing their hopelessly miserable ideology on us, and our children, it takes some restraint to not mock…
.
But it must be remembered that only God can open the eyes of the blind.
.
And so, the atheist, like all the rest of us sinners, is completely at the mercy of God’s grace.

LOOSE ENDS OF ATHEISM
.
For those of us who have been atheists, we understand that there’s a need to explain away the unexplainable.
.
As a young atheist, we had certain “monkey wrenches in the works”, so to speak: various “loose ends” which we desperately tried to tie up.
.
That is, there were things which didn’t quite set right with atheism.

BEAUTY & POETRY OF NATURE
.
Now one of those loose ends of atheism is the “the beauty & poetry & symmetry of nature”.
.
Yes, the beauty and poetry of nature is a big problem for the atheist.
The beauty and poetry of nature just doesn’t quite harmonize with the “Big Bang”!
The chaos of the pre-bang eternity-past, just doesn’t quite harmonize with this law-abiding universe, filled with beauty and symmetry and poetry!
.
And so, as atheists, we tried to convince ourselves that beauty is just subjective: something that we have merely adapted ourselves to.

MANY PRISONERS OF HOPELESS FEAR!
.
And let’s face it! Many or perhaps most atheists don’t like to think
too deeply about these things.
Atheism is a very unsettling ideology, or religion, or philosophy, or whatever one may wish to call it.
And thus, the average atheist is a prisoner of his own fears of hopelessness, to a great degree.
.
Listen… “through fear of death (the people of the world) were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:15.
.
Yes, this world is held captive through the fear of death, even though few will admit it.
.
And the closer to the grave, the more that this hopeless philosophy begins to crush out the joy of their life…

HIDEOUS UNDENIABLE
.
Now, back to this idea that “nature is neutral”.
.
The so-called “neutrality of nature” cannot even explain those things in nature which are obviously hideous looking!
.
It simply cannot be explained according to evolution and atheism and the so-called “big-bang”!

10,000 TEACHERS IN CHRIST
1st Corinthians 4:15
.
But the fact remains, that nature has many things beautiful, and many things, not-so-beautiful!
And that’s part of the poetry of nature!
.
Therefore, nature becomes our schoolmaster, teaching us lessons about good and evil!
.
Behold the Dandelion!
This little flower of the field looks so bright and so pretty.
But after a short time, when the hot Sun arises, this pretty little flower dies, and turns into lifeless spindles.
Yes, this too is our instructor, teaching us of the shortness and meaningless of life without God…
.
Listen…“All flesh is grass,
and all the goodliness thereof
is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth…
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”
Isaiah 40:6-8
.
So here we see that God compares the grass to mankind, and the little wildflowers to man’s short-lived glory.

“OR SPEAK TO THE EARTH AND IT SHALL TEACH THEE”
Job 12:8
.
But also, nature teaches us the great lesson, that God loves good, but hates evil.
.
And so, as we look at the various aspects of nature, we can see God’s Law, written in the tiniest atom, to the greatest galaxy…and even beyond!

“CORDS OF VANITY“
.
“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:” Isaiah 5:18
.
Look at the slope of this third mountain (Babylon Mtn. on right), and notice that it goes straight down to the Dragon Constellation.
This slope belongs to the constellation commonly called “Pisces“.
Doesn’t it almost look like the Dragon is towing this Mountain?
It almost looks like the Dragon is transporting this “False Mountain” from the south… from Hell!
And he has pulled it northward…next to these other two mountains.
This would almost seem like a comical idea…if it weren’t for the destruction and death and woe caused by Satan for many-a-millennium.
.
Just listen to this verse…
“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
and sin as it were with a cart rope:”
Isaiah 5:18.
