Intuitional Reasoning Considered

INTUITIONAL REASONING CONSIDERED The Intuitional Argument The intuitional argument is that which is in man, sometimes called the "first truths"; that belief that knows that there is a God without anyone revealing that fact."

"Come now, let us REASON together saith the Lord." (Isaiah 1:18) Can we deny that God "of old (times past)hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands." (Psalms 102:25) Just look around and you will notice that behind every design, there is a designer.

Look at a car, boat, television set, chair, table, ring, stove, children's toys, buildings, anything...and behind them all you will find a designer. Even our space shuttles, with all of their sophisticated mechanisms, only appear as a simple child's toy compared to the intelligence required to create and set in perfect order, not only our earth and its galaxy alone, but the multiplicity of galaxies that exist.

Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made (Hebrew "asa") heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee." ( Nehemiah 9:6) Did the earth just happen to be tilted exactly 23 and 1/2 degrees? Was it only an accident that the moon is exactly the right size to control the tides of our oceans? Was it by chance the sun is exactly the right distance from the earth so we do not burn up or freeze to death? Did our atmosphere, made up of largely 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, just accidently work itself into this ratio to sustain human life? Remember, this is the only atmosphere that we know of that contains these elements in this ratio.

It would be easier for all the monkeys in the world to scamper across all the typewriters in the world and type perfectly all the books that exist, than to imagine our earth and universe to be a product of chance, rather than designed and created by the intelligence of Almighty God.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) The Lord reminds us that

"...the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:20

"That they know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me and I am the Lord and there is none else." Isaiah 45:6.
