Volume 128 – Creation Moments

Humans: The Artists

Genesis 4:21 “And his brother’s name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.” Which is more likely to last buried in the ground for a few thousand years: a wooden spoon or a stone hammer? Since the hammer...

Flying Sheep?

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.” One unusual argument that the universe is the work of the Creator rather than aimless chance goes li...

Coral Grows Faster than Thought

2 Peter 3:4 “And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.” Many people know that, despite its appearance, coral is actually a tiny ani...

Illogical Wisdom

Isaiah 55:8 “For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” In 1981 it was only a theory – one that seemed to go against all logic. The theory said that if you have a signal – say, a sound that w...

Psalm 139:14 “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.” Do your eyes ever play tricks on you? Our eyes regularly play tricks on us with the help of our br...

John 11:11-12 “These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.” When you are ill, you need sleep. ...
