God Has Revealed Himself Through Creation

General revelation is God revealing Himself through creation. Whether one looks through a telescope or a microscope, God's fingerprints can be found on everything He has created. His beautiful and majestic work can be seen in the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies. The complexity of His craftsmanship can even be found inside a single cell. Inside this well organized and purposeful factory, called the cell, are codes and instructions which are carried out by machines that are obedient to the commands they are given. If one part of the cell fails to do its job then the entire cell is useless - irreducible complexity. God's handiwork can be seen throughout this entire universe. We live in a day and age where that should be most apparent to us. Our advances in science and technology have given us an advantage our ancestors never had. We are able to see the complexity and obvious design embedded throughout all of God's creation in a way that has never been achieved before. However, men have chosen to suppress the truth found in creation and exchange it for a lie - that being evolution. What's ironic (as you'll see in the video) is that those who refuse to acknowledge God as Creator, can't help but use language that confirms there is design and purpose to this world.

Psalms 19:1-6, "1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words,whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. 6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat."

Romans 1:18-21, "18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened."
