Glory to God..

Some folks believe that the ancient Egyptians, who accomplished unbelievable scientific projects, were in fact aliens from some other planet. Movies and T.V. series have been based upon this idea. We still do not know how the Egyptians were able to move incredibly heavy stones over long distances and use them in construction projects so precise we can hardly rival them ourselves. We find it difficult to believe that such learned scientists could have lived in ancient times.
We sell them short in our estimation of their developed abilities. We don’t think they should have been able to rise to such heights of learning.
Today’s evaluation of humankind’s abilities is stretched in the opposite direction, for we think there is nothing beyond our reach. We have built buildings so high that different weather systems must be taken into account in each floor’s climate control schemes. We are “humanists” to the nth degree not only in scientific disciplines, but also in philosophy, theology and all the arts. As one intellectual boldly declared, “There is no longer any need or room for God.”
I am reminded instantly of a verse in the Bible which simply declares, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘there is no God” (Psalm 14:1). The equipment we use to come to the conclusion that God does not exist is part of a masterful design. The New Testament declares the human body to be a “temple of God.” By design, it is a marvel. When in good health, all of its systems work together seamlessly to give the illusion of unity, but in fact many separate systems are being correlated to produce a single action, such as raising the arm. Every living thing in this world is a miracle in itself, not to mention the earth itself and the family of celestial bodies to which it belongs.
Seems to me we need to credit the ancients for using their minds to become creative, not forgetting to give ourselves credit for the same, but always thanking God for creating us with such potential for greatness. In our sane moments, we give God the glory for all good things.
