“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”  (Genesis 1:1)

The Bible opens with a declaration of the existing, eternal God.  This opening verse also tells us that God is the Creator of everything that exists.  Look around.  Do you see the order of the world in which we live?  Honest reason cannot accept such order without One to place it in order.  For instance, our family used to have a pool table.  Preparing for a game requires the pool balls to be placed in a specific order.  The balls are placed in the “rack”, the “rack” is removed, the cue ball is placed, the cue stick strikes the cue ball, the cue ball jettisons into the orderly balls, and the result is chaos.  Balls scatter all over the table.  I cannot tell you the times I have seen this take place.  The thing about this illustration is that I have never seen pool balls end up in the same location after they were struck by the cue ball.  Contact causes chaos.  Collision causes chaos.  It ALWAYS does and it ALWAYS will.  Since it always does and always will, we can rest assured that collision ALWAYS DID produce chaos.  The only way to restore order to the pool table was for an intelligent being to personally place the balls back in the “rack.”                           

The order of the universe testifies that One of intelligence had to place it in order.  Genesis 1:1 tells us who that One is.  He is the existing, eternal Creator revealed throughout the Bible.

Today is June 27.  Our orderly world required The Creator!
