GOD’S CREATION 1ES 1 INES OF GOD
For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity have been made clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made—His handiworks (Ro 1:20, Amp.).
CREATION RICH IN EVIDENCE
All of God’s creation is rich in the evidence of His existence and His handiwork. One needs only to really look at various plants and creatures to know that behind such intricate design and practicality there must be a supreme intelligence.
Beginning with the most magnificent creation of God, the universe, most of us know that there is a definite pattern in it all. If it were not so, we would not know from one night to the next where the stars and planets would be. If it were not so, planets and stars would be crashing into each other constantly, and our own planet would have been short-lived. Who made the laws by which the movements of stars, planets, and our solar system are ruled?
Astronomers know that all the stars, solar systems, galaxies, and comets have a definite pattern of movement. “What supermathematician planned all this? The Bible asks:
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? (Is 40:12).

Our solar system alone is a marvel of design. According to scientists, the nine planets that swing around our sun are at precisely the right distance from each other. Further, the planet on which we humans live is at exactly the right distance from the sun, so that it neither gets too hot nor too cold for us to live, as it does on the other planets. The Bible says that God set the sun and the moon in the firmament of heaven (Gen 1:17). The sun is constantly in
