God is a science teacher and the universe is His classroom. |
Job 35:9(The Message) - "When times get bad, people cry out for help. They cry for relief from being kicked around, But never give God a thought when things go well, when God puts spontaneous songs in their hearts, When God sets out the entire creation as a science classroom, using birds and beasts to teach wisdom.
God is a science teacher and the universe is His classroom. Hence, it's silly for us to think that we who are merely students of the universe can gain such wisdom that we shake our fists in His direction. He is not impressed by our research. He is not impressed by our analytical ability. He is not impressed by our eloquence. He is not impressed by our passionate pursuit of knowledge. He is God and when it comes to our relationship with Him, the student will never be greater than the teacher.
However, what's really interesting is how people change when their lives turn to crap and everything collapses around them. They go in one of two extreme directions. They either reach out to God or they get extremely bitter toward Him. I believe that this explains both the conditional Christianity of some thinkers and the militant atheism of others. It's not that they don't believe God exists but they want Him to exist in the form that they choose. In other words, they want God to be an idol they create. They want a God of convenience. If God doesn't fit into their box, they won't accept Him.
Continuing in the same vein of my previous blogs let me repeat the quote of the week.
Psalm 53:1(KJV) - The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Atheists are fools and should be treated as such - Anonymous
