Last night Denise and I were reminded of the truth in Romans 1:19-20 as we shared the gospel with our new Catalonia friend Juan. He told us the famous myth that was made into one of the most important holidays in all of Spain, Saint Jordi day. Here in this myth of a slain dragon by a knight who saves a princess and all the people is an example of God already giving this nation the truth of His love for them. Romans 1:19-20 reminds us in the phrase “the things that are made” is one word in the Greek, Poima in which we get our English word Poem from. Paul declares that God’s creation is a glorious poem, a work of art that is fitted together in a majestic hymn. The same word is used in Eph. 2:10 where we are told that we are His work of art created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Paganism and idolatry are not steps in human evolution to enlightenment, from “slime to divinity”. God’s creation is His billboard as to His nature as it continually proclaims His character, nature and intentions to His creation. Robert Jastrow, an astrophysicist and director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies said, “We see how the astronomical evidence supports the biblical view of the origin of the world….the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same. Consider the enormousness of the problem: Science has proved the universe exploded into being at a certain moment. It asks what caused this effect? Who or what put matter and energy into the Universe? And science cannot answer these questions….For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of his ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been there for centuries.”
