Building a Better Mouse Trap

“Building a better mouse trap merely results in smarter mice,” said Charles Darwin commenting on the evolution and adaptation of species. On a very limited scale, this adaption can be true; but, on the macro scale of reality the creature cannot evolve into the Creator. A logical absurdity. God knows we know He exists. “For the invisible things of Him 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 KJV). 

If There Is A God

If there is a God, then why does He allow evil? A question, which demands a reply. “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding” (Job 38:4 KJV). Bitterness will spin out of control unless conscience replies, “You know better.” We cannot freely choose to glorify God unless we have the ability to utterly embrace evil.

God Is, Therefore I Am

God is, therefore I am. “God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Genesis 1:27 KJV). With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), we are now discussing sentience (consciousness) and awareness like ancient philosophers defining reality. To be clear, the creature is not greater than the Creator; otherwise, Yahweh would cease to be all powerful. In no actual universe does less power trump all power. Our adversary specializes in frightening us with power that pales alongside the omnipotence of the LORD God. Just ask Elijah after the defeat of the prophets of Baal. The Almighty does not wake up in a cold sweat frightened of any adversary. “But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him” (Luke 12:5 KJV). By the way, Yahweh wins! “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Revelation 20:10 KJV). Hallelujah!
