A message to the intellectuals

Paul writes the following verse to the Romans (Romans 1:18-23)

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 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: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

A very apt message indeed.

Nature comprises of living and non-living things/components which have complex structure and function that cannot be simply explained by what we learn in Biochemistry and Biology. The fact is that everything in nature is the handiwork of God. Man tries to explain them by evolutionary theories just because he cannot comprehend the presence of a Creator. And whenever I read the biochemical and zoological basis of evolution, I only find massive blunders and holes (even when I detach myself from faith and read it as a biologist). I am not saying that evolution and modification doesn’t exist… it does. But the big bang and evolution of man, the formation of earth and the like are just plain hypotheses. In any event, can man who has propounded such widely accepted evolution theories create a cell all by himself? Can he create genetic materials from amino acids? Perhaps oligopeptides but nothing more. But man, instead of glorifying God, started to worship the creations and more fatally, his own intellect.
