or The agnostic evolutionist who repeatedly and inadvertently demonstrates to millions the truth of God’s Word!
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear,” Hebrews 11:3.
The Greek word translated in our text by the phrase, “we understand”, is NOIEO. It means ‘to perceive with the mind, to understand, to have understanding.’
1. Those who believe the inspired record of God creating all that we see around and above us, stretching out into the immensity of the universe, are enabled ‘to perceive with the mind’ just how this has come into existence and rejoice in that knowledge
Those who follow the subject of man’s excavations of the earth’s record of former times, with any degree of dedication, will have noted how many times we read headlines which may be generalised as :—
‘Experts discover new evidence which throws in doubt former opinions on the origin of all things.’
I read the following statement recently:
‘As of early 2026, several groundbreaking scientific discoveries—primarily from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and CERN—have challenged the conventional Big Bang model and, by extension, traditional understandings of the origin of the universe, galaxies, and matter. These findings suggest that the early universe was far more mature, complex, and active than previously believed.’
Such is the repeated history of the unbelievers’ guesswork as to the origin of all things!
There has been a constant and necessary casting aside of yesterday’s ‘certainties’ and an embracing of yet another short-lived confident definition of the most ‘certain’ truth of how all things began, by Bible-rejecting ‘experts’!
Faith’s Response
All the while, the one who embraces by faith what the Lord says in Genesis chapter 1, finds in the latest discoveries which demolish the ‘authoritative’ declarations of yesterday of the evolutionists, but confirmation of the Bible’s account.
Student
While a student back in the mid-‘60s, part of my theological studies, under the late Dr Alan Cairns, involved an in-depth study of “The Genesis Flood.”
It was much more than helpful in my grasping of how unbelieving man’s searching of the fossil records was but fully endorsing of God’s account of creation.
Of course, palaeontologists, who are disciples of Darwin, place upon such discoveries the most ludicrous interpretations. (more…)
