Hello, nice to meet you. And welcome to the Word of God! Perhaps you are asking: `Is there a God?' Well, yes, God does exist! If you read on, you may be in for a surprise and discover that God is altogether different to what many people imagine. You may find the God of the Bible. He is the God Who is eternal, and the eternal realm is totally different from the one in which we spend our lives on earth.
But first let us look at blowflies and aeroplanes. No, I do not want to bother you with blowflies. But you see, long, very long before man began dreaming about flying machines there were these buzzing creatures. No doubt, in those days they were being pursued and killed, like we do these days. But did you ever take note of their tremendous flying-speed? Far superior to our first flying machines. Then, at such high speed they approach a wall and ... stop. How do they know there is a wall? Will they fly themselves to a certain death?
What happens when one of our aeroplanes flies into a building or a mountaintop? A horrendous accident. That never happens to the blowfly. Coming from its top-speed, it can land and sit, no sweat, harm or hurt. It takes off and repeats the same procedure again and again. Our aeroplanes, when they take off or land, need a runway of up to a thousand meters. When the runway is too short there may be a terrible accident. But the blowfly has no need of a runway, ever. Why? You know why that is? It is because our blowflies are the offspring from the first that were created by Almighty God, the Great Creator, the God of the Bible. The Bible, the Word of God, does tell us that we may be certain of the existence of God because of all His visible creation around us. The shark in the ocean. The butterfly in my garden. And those little goldfish in my aquarium.
My wife and I have been living in our house since 1964. It sits there, in a corner of the window at the back of the house. During all those years I have never seen it. It must be very small. But I do see the results of its activities. Time after time my wife has used her duster to wipe it way. That spider-web! And then, the next morning it is there again. Again, on the following morning, a little more intricate and larger. A small spider, weaving its web. That small spider, did it evolve from a gumleaf? Or from a bit of bark? Or from a germ? When, or how, did this gumleaf, or bark, or germ, or ape issue its friendly instructions about how to weave webs? Often the web is many times the spider's own size. Was it necessary to teach the little spider how, where and when to put its power into practice?
