Brilliant Theoretical Physicist Stephen Hawking Once Said Before We Understood Science, It Was Natural

Brilliant theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking once said “Before we understood science, it was natural to believe that 'a god' created the universe, but (now) science offers a more convincing explanation... because there is a LAW (emphasis mine) such as gravity, the universe can and will CREATE (emphasis mine) itself from nothing.”

In Hawking’s view, he essentially says all the raw energy-matter that just (somehow?) 'existed' at one point blew up, CREATED a law of gravity and CREATED all we see on earth and the heavens. He goes on saying “No one created the universe and no one directs our fate therefore there is probably no heaven and no afterlife...(it’s) just wishful thinking. There is no reliable evidence for it.”

Using that logic then if a tornado blew through IBM’s factory is it also reasonable to assume that the most powerful super-computer ever CREATED would just blow out the other side and self-order itself into existence(!?!) Today programmers developed the immense power of Artificial Intelligence, but even that 'Intelligent Design' (which is far inferior to what we see in the heavens) had a CREATOR.

If you want 'reliable evidence' simply look up at the HEAVENS of the very universe that Hawking once studied...and ponder the not so coincidental fact that we even grammatically refer to them as HEAVEN as a visible clue that confirms:

“The invisible things of him (God) from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE.” Romans 1:20

Just as a book must have an author and LAWS are written by people, they don’t just write themselves. Therefore using Hawking’s logic “there is probably” certainly an author and CREATOR of something as complex as the heavens — and that’s not just “wishful thinking” but a logical conclusion.

Friend if the most “convincing explanation” is that there is scientifically no god and no creator feel free, but given the principle of authorship, does “From Nothing” even seem reasonable?

If you are right, no harm no foul! Live your life as you please until you die and then cease to exist, but if not, once before GOD you will be found WITHOUT EXCUSE.

Are you willing to direct your ETERNAL FATE on that?

Looking at the growing chaos happening in the world, we have to ask ourselves, 'Where does such chaos come from?' and today’s verse from Micah 2:1 gives the answer to this and draws an import distinction between SIN and INIQUITY.

While we all sin, the difference between the two is this:

SIN in is -Not- Inquity, but All INIQUITY -Is- Sin.

Iniquity is not just doing wrong, but in expressly executing evil. The Apostle Paul describes these as people that reject any acknowledgement of God, have depraved minds, and are filled with every kind of wickedness and malicious behavior. He concludes in Romans 1:32 saying that those that act this way not only celebrate these things, but approve of others that also do such things.

As today’s scripture reference says depraved evil is preceded by deliberate planning. Those that work iniquity meditate on it in the darkness of night, then put it into action. 911 was an example of a once unthinkable thought of crashing jets into buildings. Such imaginations are inconceivable for a moral mind, but an expected outcome from a mind of iniquity.

Jesus said the end result of this iniquity will be a time of great tribulation “..that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now - and never will again.” The only safety from the coming breakdown and anarchy in the world is in the salvation God offers to all who repent of their SIN and believe on Christ.

Friend, the signs are all around us. The end of life as we have known it is coming rapidly to an end. Seek God and believe this word:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

Honoring God is the single most important thing that believers can do, yet when it comes to prayer, the 80/20 rule is usually the case. That is for many believers 80% of prayer is in asking God to do something or bless someone, but only 20% of the time is spent giving God praise.

While in the world, the normal rule is the top 20% is the main focus of attention, but in the spiritual world it needs to be the Exact Opposite. Just as today’s scripture — along with over one hundred fifty other verses exhorts us, God is to be honored and glorified FIRST before anything else.

If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ or believer, all this 'praising the lord' stuff must not make any sense — and that is totally understandable, but consider this…

If God really is who the Bible says He IS, that is, THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING we see from the most distant galaxies in deep space photographed by the Hubble telescope to the astounding complexity of DNA to the miracle of the aerodynamic impossibility of bumble bees flying. But instead, many “believe” that instead a somewhat unexplainable 'Big Bang' occurred for an unknown reason out of nothing and then the scientific 'fact' that you and I all evolved out of a hot molten rock that just happened to be the precise distance from the sun to support life requires a lot more 'faith' then acknowledging the unfathomable majesty that God IS and rightfully deserves!

Whether you are a believer in God or not, He is the GREAT “I AM” and as such is worthy to be praised and thanked first above all else for all that He has created — and for your very existence and life.

Give God the Glory, not just 80% of the time, but always, and the rest will take care of itself, as Jesus promised:

“Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” - Matthew 6:8

I must admit sometimes I may not be the best listener, especially when my husband is talking to me about something he considers important for me to understand.

That’s why hearing is one thing, listening with a heart of love is another.

A good conversation starts by paying attention with a ”listening” ear, not just by hearing words, but by taking effort on your part to understand and read between the lines.

Some people do not know how to express all they are feeling or thinking and that is when a trained ear by the Holy Spirit can hear more than what is being said. The Holy Spirit is our Counselor and He will help you pay close attention.

In today’s scripture we first and foremost must be swift to hear and to do our best to understand without talking over a person. It is important to comprehend what he or she is relating or feeling, otherwise they may feel you are not interested in what they are saying.

Secondly we need to be slow to speak and slow to anger. Are you guilty of this part? If we would follow God’ word on this issue, there would be less arguments and misunderstandings. The Lord is calling us to stop, think and pray before we speak. Jesus didn’t give us a reactionary heart to cause dissension with other. On the contrary, He gave us a heart of love and as Christians we must be aware of that fact when talking to others.

So, if you have times when you realize you are drifting away somewhere when you should be listening and paying close attention, ask the Holy Spirit to 'prick' your ears to hear with an open heart so that you might be totally engaged with the other person and contribute in your conversation. The other person will appreciate that you value what they have to say.

Remember, Silent and listen have the same letters, so stay silent so you can listen.

'Religion' these days is embarrassing, especially if you ascribe to anything Christian. That’s why a message like this routinely gets swiped past because it’s just another message about somebody’s 'imaginary friend' encouraging you to agree with something you don’t want or think you need. Either that, or you ARE a believer in God, but you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of others that you agree with messages about God or Christ. If so, please re-read today’s verse to see what God (that is…if you even believe in one or not) says about those that act this way.

You see, it is NOT belief in God that saves you, or UNBELIEF in God that condemns you, it is the the DENIAL of God where you condemn yourself.

In this connected, socially driven world people crave as many views and likes as possible thinking that the more they get ,the more they also will be LIKED and accepted. While it is great to have friends - be they real or virtual - the best “FRIEND” that you should seek a LIKE from is GOD.

If you scroll past HIM, He will scroll past YOU.

I once heard that it is possible to make the explosive TNT (Nitroglycerin) if you mix just the right amount of manure (nitrogen) and butter (glycerin.) Now I’m not sure if that that is possible but assuming this was true, it would indeed make a powerful combination.

This idea of mixing two key ingredients together to form a powerful element is at the heart of today’s scripture lesson, and like this fabled union of nitrogen and glycerin, the act of mixing the WORD and FAITH when applied is Real Spiritual Dynamite!

Hebrews 4:2 also says that when the Good News (i.e. The Gospel) is spoken to even those that that have the FAITH to BELIEVE, it’s message is indeed DYNAMIC! In the original language the word “power” in the following verse literally is our English word for 'DYNAMITE!'

“The gospel (WORD) of Christ…is the POWER of God to salvation for everyone who believes (FAITH)” Romans 1:16

Friend if you are just casually listening or reading the Word of God and not mixing it with FAITH, the power of what God can and will do in your life will not manifest. So take the Word of God and believe it, act upon it, and apply it fully mixed with faith in what it says. Then and only then will you experience the POWER that will be unleashed by God for you “to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)
