God Spoke, and it was GREAT

Most everyone agrees after a quick cursory glance and a collective cringe the year 2020 was not good. Then 2021 was another dumpster fire year with record inflation,  COVID is still being COVID, along with a society that cannot even agree that there are two genders or if gender is a fluid state of being.  ARGH!

So I am praying for a 2022 and not even shooting for a good year.  I would settle for the dumpster fire to be put out.

But for today let me bring you back to simpler times IN THE 'very' BEGINNING when God created .. it was good!  ​Let's review.

​Genesis 1 - In the beginning, God spoke the universe into existence.  Some witnesses claimed they heard a loud crackling sound like thunder. Kind of a BANG, a really really  BIG BANG! 

Note: I am not here to discuss Old Earth v New Earth theories. This would be above the pay grade of this cartoonist, but what I will say again is .. 

God created and it was GOOD!

Genesis 1:1-31 To summarize, this daunting project was completed in 6 days where Day 1:  DAY , NIGHT , the SKY were spoke into existence by our Almighty Creator. 

​Those first 6 days His creation included the sun, stars, land, waters, and all the creatures in the sea and on land were created. 

Genesis 2:1-3 Then fast forward to 7th day and God rested. He did not even watch football. In contrast I installed a bathroom floor in our town-home recently and I rested on the 5th, 6th, and 7th days and while it turned out nice it was not Hubble Telescope spectacular like God's Universe.

Next, to rule over the lands and seas God created MAN​ Genesis 2:7 in His own image from the dust of the Earth followed by creating WOMAN from man's 'spare rib' declaring it is not good for man to be alone. Genesis 2:18
​
To which Adam declared.. "Hey beautiful, where have you been all my life?"   

​Then God commanded Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply".. to which Adam quickly started studying his times tables.

This creation story is all recorded into the Bible book of Genesis. While many Cosmologists believe the Big Bang was the creation of EVERYTHING from NOTHING followed by billions of years of random collisions and explosions resulted in our ever expanding universe, all the planets including Earth including life with all it's complexities.  

​Ok, I believe you can collide a chocolate bar with a jar of peanut butter and end up with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.. but this Universe has too moving parts + complexities that are bound together with rules and order for me to believe EVERYTHING came from NOTHING.

Important Note: I believe most Cosmologists 'do drugs'. Just my opinion.. with a smirk.

I choose instead to believe there must be an intelligent design behind creation. I believe in a divine creator that exists outside the confines of time and space. I believe this Intelligent Design is described in the Bible Book of Genesis.

​May God bless each of you greatly in your pursuit of truth.

​This is important stuff, and a foundation for life. If there is a God then the pursuit of Him is a greater science than can be found looking through any microscope, telescope, or on a petri dish

​Understanding our Creator is to go boldly beyond any Star Trek five year journey exploring his creation.

So no matter if you are in the 6,000 year old Young Earth Camp, or you believe in a 4.5 billion year Old Earth let's agree God created and IT WAS GOOD, maybe even GREAT.

.. and certainly better than 2020, or 2021. Just sayin'
