He Doth Devise Means
.
Physical systems wear out; biological organisms get old and die; societies and empires fall and vanish. All these phenomena are local expressions of God's universal curse on man and all his dominion - it applies to everything, without exception.
.
The very existence of the law of entropy points to a Creator, because systems that are wearing out must first have been made new, and beings that die must first have been given life.
.
Someday the curse itself will be removed when God creates new heavens and a new earth, and the whole creation "shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God"
"For we
must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered
up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that
his banished be not expelled from him." - (2 Samuel 14:14)
These words of the "wise woman of Tekoah,"spoken to King David concerning Absalom, his son, were wiser than she knew, for they reflect a principle of human experience that affects us all.
Human life must eventually deteriorate and die; this
declension cannot be reversed any more than water poured down on the ground can
be "un-poured" up into the cup again.
This principle is the famous law of
entropy ("in-turning").
Physical systems wear out; biological organisms get old
and die; societies and empires fall and vanish.
All these phenomena are local expressions of God's
universal curse on man and all his dominion (Genesis 3:14-19).
It applies to everything, without exception.
However, the very existence of the law of entropy points to a Creator, because systems that are wearing out must first have been made new, and beings that die must first have been given life.
The very idea of a universal naturalistic evolution of all
things into more complex systems is contrary to all real scientific data and is
contradicted by all human experience.
Nevertheless, the God who created all things can surely "devise
means" by which the law of decay can be set aside.
Solar energy and the hydrologic cycle can raise the
spilled water; the sinful life can be purified by God's grace and the blood of
Christ; and the dead can be revived by the resurrection life of Christ.
Someday the curse itself will be removed when God creates new heavens and a new earth, and the whole creation "shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Romans 8:21).
The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word can be
trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to how the
universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has planned for
us.
After 50 years of ministry, ICR remains a
leader in scientific research within the context of biblical creation. Founded
by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists to conduct scientific research within
the realms of origins and Earth history, and then to educate the public both
formally and informally through professional training programs, through
conferences and seminars around the country, and through books, magazines, and
media presentations.
