Introduction

Men believe and say many things, but what God says will stand. The
prophet Isaiah warns the wicked and unrighteous to forsake their
wicked ways and return to the Lord (Is 55 NKJ). He says that the
thoughts and ways of mankind are so different from the Lord’s—it’s
like the distance of the heavens is above the earth.
Imagine a God who has always existed and who is the author
and finisher of all creation. Not only has he laid the foundation of
the earth but of all the other planets in the universe. They all work
in their orbit like a fine-tuned machine and has laws and restraints
that govern their behavior without deviation. But on the other hand,
there is mankind who arrives on the scene, not of his own accord
and has to endure many years of learning to just be able to function
proficiently to some degree in controlling his own short existence in
a world that is completely foreign to him. He is confined to a very
short period allotted to him. Whatever knowledge he may acquire,
he then struggles to keep it from seeping out of his memory as time
passes. Yet he acts as if the God of the universe has to bend and con
form to his every changing whim.
But it behooves every man and person to humbly acknowledge
God for who he is and give deference to his words and commands. He
must first admit to himself that there is a living God who has created
him and that any knowledge he may acquire cannot supersede what
God has proclaimed. In this book, I seek to highlight some of the
ways in which God has gone about in creating the living things in the
world in which we live. It is my hope that something I say will influ
ence someone else to also believe in this incredible God that I serve.
