Here is a thought I had while doing my assignment:
We all heard the story of the creation right? We know he made us out of the dust of the earth. Now I don’t mean to make a mockery of things nor do I mean to really be skeptical, but I want to be honest. I’ve read the narrative of the creation of man like a million times now (well not literally) but since I have been doing my God, Revelation and Men I really start to ponder a few things. Especially in the creation of man, we don’t have exact records nor do we have exact details in the records that we have. And that’s what gives rise to this question how did God make man out of the dust of the earth?
Have we seen the dust in this earth? It’s soft and dispersed; you can never really keep it together, what more mould it and shape it into a person. Well I can understand mud, wet dust and dirt together and mix it with water we’ll get – mud, or Clay!!! Now that’s an awesome molding material. Soft, and flexible yet when it stay together very well.
But here is the next thing that boggles me. We’ve seen clay structures and clay statues, they get all the details of the outside right, so I can see how God did it. No problem for him, if he can mould mountains and carve trees design animals and paint sun sets then molding the appearance of men is easy. But for all the knowledge in the world I would like to know how the molded the insides of us? Our clay structures are either solid or hollowed, but how did God carve us out, and yet make the minute details? How can he make us so finely out of clay, I mean our veins, our muscles, our tendons, our bones I can get but what about the fine details in our kidneys? How could God do such a thing?
I sat there in my room thinking and I could not shake it from my mind, I’m tempted to turn to science and evolution or anything that can explain it. But the truth is this very simple thing: what is stopping God from not doing it? The truth is that he can. Simple as that. We think and ponder and nowhere in our deepest imagination can we do it. No way could I fathom how God could have done it so amazingly.
What a wonderful miracle, so now when I look in the mirror I really see someone handsome ;P and someone who is fearfully and wonderfully made. Look at your body, so very carefully, maybe you can slowly be amazed at how wonderfully made you are.
