Some Thoughts on Creation's Testimony for God
Those who know me best know there are places I love to visit—seeing waves pound on an ocean beach, the snow-capped Rocky Mountains, a cold mountain stream, a beautiful forest in autumn, and walking in softly fallen snow. My preference for such places is that their beauty reminds me of God.
I can remember the first time I saw the Rockies. I was skiing with friends and drove west out of Denver while it was still dark. But by 9am, I was standing on my skis on the continental divide watching the mountains—one range after the other—to the west. I found myself singing, “How Great Thou Art.”
That’s the sentiment the Apostle Paul captures in Romans chapter 1 when he writes:
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).
Paul's saying there’s no excuse for not believing in God because creation proves that God exists. Something can't come from nothing—for out of nothing, nothing comes. For the world to exist, therefore, it had to be created. This is the default position according to the Bible. The burden of proof isn't on people who believe in God, but on those who don’t.
Creation also has obvious signs of design—the signature of a Great Designer. These are evident in every plant, animal, and mineral. The closer we look at anything, the more remarkable it appears. John Locke writes: “The visible marks of extraordinary wisdom and power appear so plainly in all the works of creation that a rational creature who will but seriously reflect on them, cannot miss the discovery of a deity.”
That some refuse to acknowledge God doesn’t bring His existence into question. It only demonstrates the dishonesty of people—which we already know. The Bible is clear: there's no excuse for not believing in God—because all creation declares the glory of the Lord!
