Letter - Heavens declare the glory of God

To the editor:

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament (sky) shows His handiwork” (Psalms 19:1).

President Abraham Lincoln said once, “I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.”

Could the Sears Tower or the Golden Gate Bridge exist without a planner and a builder? Could a plane fly by consensus? Were the presidents’ faces on Mount Rushmore caused by erosion? Could fields of corn or wheat or strawberries exist without a farmer first planning and then planting them? Could the sun, moon, stars and planets exist without being planned and created by the Omniscient (all knowing) and Omnipotent (all powerful) Creator?

Today, many educated people with doctors’ degrees have a problem. They can’t look up into a cloudless and clear night sky into heaven and come to a consensus of how it all came into existence?

Inconceivable! However, many true and honest astronomers and scientists know that God created it. Millions of repeated observations and tests have proven that an intelligence (God) was actively involved.

The media, state and federal departments of education and public schools refuse to recognize that The Infinite, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent God is the source of all honest education, as our forefathers experienced. Today, our educators try to produce “Excellence in Education” without God. Falling test scores are the inevitable result. An honest consensus about why this is happening is needed, not lowering standards. Unbelievable!

“For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they (ungodly) are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).
