Psalm 2:2-4
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”
Is the human hand evidence of a Creator? In a paper which appeared in the science publication PLOS ONE, a team of four scientists claimed that the link between muscles and hand movements is the product of “proper design by the Creator.” The paper goes on to say that human hand coordination “should indicate the mystery of the Creator’s invention,” and concludes by again claiming the mechanical architecture of the hand is the result of “proper design by the Creator.”
How shocking for such a paper to appear in a pro-evolution science journal! After all, such publications do not publish any articles that even hint at the existence of a Creator. Well, as you would expect, the scientific community was quick to call for PLOS ONE to retract the article, and that’s exactly what they did. The publisher also apologized to readers who were threatening to boycott the publication.
A situation like this only underscores the fact that science – led for the most part by atheists – has become an exclusive club that scientists like Sir Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell and Louis Pasteur would not be permitted to join. Indeed, even present-day scientists like MRI inventor Dr. Raymond Damadian would be told to take a hike.
Try as they might to remove God from the picture, however, the fact remains that He who sits in the heavens is laughing at them in derision. He, not they, will have the last laugh.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, because I know that evolution keeps people on the broad road that leads to destruction, I pray that You will give me opportunities to share Your truths with many of them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
