Isaiah 25:1
O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.
How many marvelous things do you see every day? Every month or year? I was at a place called Camp Eagle last year and I went out to the lake in the middle of the night and saw the stars reflected on the perfectly glassy water. It was as if God had laid a giant mirror for us to stand there and marvel at the clear reflection of the stars.
When you think of the great expanse of the universe, the perfect coordination of force, alignment and movement of the earth to keep it habitable, you can't help but marvel at the greatness of God.
But nothing as complex as the universe can just happen by chance or some process of elimination. It has to be a carefully orchestrated plan that was designed by the creator from start to finish. Nothing left to chance, all pre-designed, all a perfect plan carefully and faithfully executed by God.
You can believe this and be in awe of God, willing to exalt him and praise his name every day. Or you can believe that we are the product of chance and natural selection. The product of random events which evolved into our existence.
In my opinion, it takes more faith to believe that God is not a person, deeply interested in each of us. God loves us so much, he even lets us choose what to believe!
So bottom line, it is your choice.
