CREATOR AND JUDGE

CREATOR AND Judges 36

How do you react to the idea of the God who reveals Himself in the Bible as the Creator of the universe? You are probably not indifferent to this question. You are either comforted by it or strongly resistant to it. It is obvious that both in the macro world of astronomy and in the minuscule realm of microbiology there is unmistakable evidence of intelligent design. Yet many people go to great lengths to reject the obvious. Why is this? The most probable reason is that there are profound implications if one admits that behind intelligent design, there obviously has to be a designer. This designer would ultimately have to be a Creator. A Creator has the power and right to do what He will with His creation. If among His creation there are intelligent creatures, He has the right to command how they will live. If they fail to meet His requirements, He has the right and power to sit as their Judge. This is the explanation for the irrational attempt to deny an ultimate designer. That creator/designer must be answered to as ultimate Judge. For those who desire to live autonomous lives, but who have nagging, well-founded suspicions that this Judge does indeed exist, it is understandable why some would go to great lengths to remove the creator from their thoughts. Where do you stand on this question?
