Psalm 19:1 (ESV) — 1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
NOTE: In Jewish
thought, there are three heavens. The first is the atmosphere, the second
heaven is space. The third heaven is the unseen home of God. In this passage,
the first two heavens are referenced. This verse agrees with the NT verse in Romans 1:18–20 (ESV) — 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness
suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them,
because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible
attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly
perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been
made. So they are without excuse. The point is that creation, the
external view, is sufficient to declare God's existence and power. In Romans,
Paul writes that men suppress this truth. Today, men have deceived themselves
in false philosophies and so-called "settled" science that there is
no evidence of God. But random evolution does not disprove God, in fact, it
requires a great deal of faith to believe that our world, us, even the smallest
single cell came about through random evolution. People will believe what they
want to believe but that does not make something true or not true. But God will
use the argument of creation against those who disbelieve when they are judged.
