Beholding God’s Creation
The creationist literature is filled with important rebuttals of evolutionary and uniformitarian principles, however in years of reading about Biblical creationism I have often returned to one key passage of Scripture for edification and contemplation. It is this:
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:18-20, NIV translation)
