Yesterday while checking my email I saw an article on the web about Stephen Hawking, the well known physist, that said there was no heaven and that God is no longer needed. We have science! He declared that Heaven is a fairy story and that God is not needed. He believes that when you die you just cease to exist. Sound familiar? Remember our friend from the Last Post? He believed the same way. He has now learned the real truth. There is life after death and a judgement that follows. Hawkings believes that everything that exists does so without God's help. I would challenge him to prove that the world exists today and came from nothing with noone's help.
I know many folks who hold that Creation was not an act of God but a chance happening that just ocurred. One illustration that has stuck with me over the years is the one about the watch parts. The professor who was giving the lecture about creation took a watch and took all the workings from inside of it and placed them in the bag. He then placed the body of the watch in the bag as well. He started to shake the bag as he was giving us the information he wanted to share. He said that those who believe in things just coming into existence by sheer chance were way off the path. After having shaken the bag for a couple of minutes he poured out the contents onto the table. The parts all fell out loose and unassembled. He said that maybe he didn't give the bag shaking long enough. He put the parts back in the bag then went back to shaking the bag. He continued on about how God took nothing and made everything that is in existence. He continued talking for 20 more minutes and once again dumped out the bag. The same results so he picked up the pieces once more and started to shake the bag. He finshed up he presentation and dumped the bag out one last time. Still there was no watch only parts. He stated that he or anyone could shake the bag for all eternity and still never get the watch together. It takes a watchmaker to know the parts and be able to assemble in a certain order so that not only would it look like a watch but also run. It is simply the fact that creation itself shows a designer. That Designer is God Himself.
When the speaker finished his presentation, he asked how many were concentrating on the bag and wondering if the watch would somehow come together by shaking the bag. Many raised their hands. He left us with this thought. You were so busy wondering if the watch would come together but in reality the whole point is the fact the parts had to be made first by someone before they could even be put in the bag. Yes Stephen Hawkings God does exist as does heaven and one day you will meet Him. Meet Him as your Savior not as your Judge!
