The ultimate question that even the most serious scientists avoid
It's a question everyone should and could be confronted with. I believe that so far no one would be able to answer this question just like that. But there is good news, because knowing the question is enough to reach out to all the treasures God has in store for you. It is, of course, a biblical question and it is life-changing. I guess you're curious by now….
You will find the question in Job 38: 4. Here, the question God asks is: “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” According to studies, 80% of the world's population is actively engaged in faith and 20% is trying to convince itself and others that there is no God. The latter turns out to work well in the West. There you are taught you only have to believe what you can understand. And if you really can't understand something then you just make a theory about it, in such a way that you come up with a more or less plausible explanation…
I used to spend a lot of time on evolution because this theme was important in my education. When I gave my life to Jesus I was immediately confronted with the first chapters in the Bible that spoke about creation and I was challenged anyway. If those first chapters were wrong, why should I take the rest seriously?
There are still a lot of believing people who choose to believe selectively. According to them, God can do one thing and not the other. This deprives many people of blessing because their faith is based on what they can see.
God's question is as simple and refreshing and as "to the point" as it can be. "Where were you when I made the earth?" No one can say he was there. So, when we make a study of it, we must rely on what we assume or in other words believe.
The evolutionists therefore believe that everything is a coincidence, including our existence. Since there are far fewer missing links in the story of creation than in the theory of evolution, it is also easier for me to believe.
If everything came into being by coincidence and becoming meaningless as a result, that trend would be continued. Yet an enormous amount of people are occupied in their minds with life’s important questions and with care and assistance. God is still performing miracles, God is still changing situations and human lives. God heals. Reflecting in silence on the question "where were you?" would be much more effective than trying to find an answer to everything.
One thing is for certain: God our loving Father was there then and He is still there now. It's up to you to believe in Him and to allow Him to perform His miracles in your life. Many blessings with it!
