Carl Kerby explores what he considers the best evidence for God's creation, examining amazing creatures and their design features while building toward his ultimate answer that God's Word itself is the strongest evidence.
Scripture Texts
Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:1
Main Points or Ideas
- Amazing Creatures Display Design - Kerby showcases several incredible animals including the Moloch Horridus lizard from Australia that can collect water through grooves in its body and pump it to its mouth, Emperor penguins that survive Antarctica's extreme conditions through precise timing and community cooperation, and various other creatures that demonstrate intricate design
- The Heavens Declare God's Glory - The observable universe contains a seven followed by 22 zeros of stars, more than every grain of sand on earth, yet this vast creation pales in comparison to human design and complexity
- Humans Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made - The human body contains 1500 miles of airways, 206 bones that heal themselves, a heart that beats 3 billion times in a lifetime, muscles that work together, and DNA so complex it could store all digital information on earth in just a few hundred pounds
- God's Word Is the Ultimate Evidence - While creation screams of God's existence and design, the best evidence that God created is His Word itself, particularly Genesis 1:1, because it provides the authoritative foundation that cannot be reinterpreted by changing human opinions
Conclusion
Though creation provides powerful evidence of God's design and power, the ultimate and best evidence for creation is Scripture itself, as it gives us the unchanging testimony from the only One who was there and knows what happened.
