Considering the Heavens By Richard McCaw
As a young man, I considered carefully the exquisite design of the human body. What would life be without hands and feet? When I learned that the muscles of the heart contract down on the contained blood 60 to 70 times a minute, night and day, year in and year out,throughout my whole lifetime, I could not believe that it was all an accident.
My eyes were wonderful cameras. The pupil of my eye dilates and contracts according to the amount of light needed for vision. Every camera comes with a light meter in order to adjust the camera to the light rays. My eye has its own built-in light meter. Did the parts just come together by mere chance? Hardly so!
From a very early age, whenever I gazed into the clear blue sky and at the beautiful mountains and hills of my native land, or watched the waves of the Caribbean sea as they crashed upon the shores, awe and amazement overwhelmed me. I thought, “What would life be without beauty?” Thank God, He gave me eyes to appreciate His wonderful creation.
As I contemplated these things I asked myself questions. "Is there not a cause? Could so vast and wonderful a universe have originated itself?"
Scientists and philosophers agree that something cannot appear from absolute nothingness. Any opposing conclusion violates a basic scientific principle: causality! Without this first law, science is impossible!
The Psalmist David wrote: “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man, that You are mindful of him?”(Psalm 8:3 NKJ)
