Where's the Miracle?

It was during my freshman year in high school that I encountered a science teacher who taught the “theory of evolution”. Never before had I been introduced to such “hogwash”. Instinctively, I began arguing from the Book of Genesis that God existed and was the Creator of all things. To my surprise, the teacher told me he also believed in God, but that God had nothing to do with the process of evolution.

When it came to test time, I had to answer the questions just like he taught. Hearing him present his so-called evidence still left me with the “missing link”. Even though at the year-end I was glad to be finished with that class, it did help me refocus on the miracle of creation. My son and his friend on the other hand did not fair so well. During their senior year in high school, they encountered an English teacher who was a “theistic evolutionist”. That is, she believed in God but felt that God’s method of creation included Darwin’s evolution. It was exciting to watch them intently study and read so many religious texts.

During each class for the rest of that semester, they did not discuss English, but forced class discussions on creationism versus evolution. When it came time for that grading period to end, the two guys knew that they had made an “A”. Then I got a call to come to the school office. It seemed that they both had a “D” average in the class. When I discussed the situation with my son, he knew he had been right. We then talked about understanding and respecting her position is spite of her misbeliefs. He had to believe that she would one day see God’s miracle of life and realize that it could not happen by accident. 

Take just a moment and realize how precious life is.

Find a friend who has just had a baby. Go to the hospital and just gaze at the newborns lying there. Look at their eyes, their little hands and feet. It’s not too difficult to see that God still creates miracles. Our very bodies are a testimony of God’s love, grace, and miraculous power.

If you have recovered from an illness or been healed of a sickness, then you too should know the miracle God has completed in your life.

Funny, but if evolution improves the species with the passing of time, what in the world has happened to my body.  Based on evolutionary process, by the time we get old we all should have that perfect body.  Guess I was behind the door when they were passing out the evolutionary process.

Thank Him today for the miracle of life. No one’s body is to full perfection, but God has given each of us an opportunity to reflect on His miracle in each life. It is also important that whenever we see or experience a miracle, we should tell everyone that God is the miracle maker. 

Have a Great Day!
