Creation or Chaos?

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them."

(Genesis 1:1, 27)

What do the Grand Canyon and my granddaughter Riley have in common? Well, actually, more than you might think. Of course, the obvious thing is, they both are very beautiful! But look a little closer and think a little deeper.

Something so intricate, complex, and beautiful had to be designed. This implies, of course, a designer. In this case, we are talking about the Designer, the LORD God Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth and everything we can see with our eyes, as well as what we cannot see.

I imagine Leonardo da Vinci would be quite upset if you were to tell him that his famous Mona Lisa just appeared on the canvas with no artist involved. How would Michelangelo feel if you told him that his marble sculptures of David and Moses just appeared naturally over time? I took this photo of Michelangelo's famous sculpture of Moses while in Rome two years ago:

If God did not create everything, including the human mind, then it is all by chance, chaotic, and totally purposeless. God or unguided macro-evolution? Those are your choices, unless you believe Francis Crick's theory; then you need to throw in aliens! In Romans 1:20, the Apostle Paul says humanity is without excuse because God has revealed Himself in the very things He has made.

God, or random chance? Purpose, or no purpose? What do you think?
