The Universe is Shouting

Great theologians have been proven wrong with time. Calvin reportedly called Copernicus something a kin to a glorified astrologer. He claimed to have settled the matter with ‘the text’ (a text Calvin obviously misinterpreted). As much as we love the Apostle Paul, that great man of God would be mystified were we to tell him that God’s world is ‘round’.

I can no longer dismiss the growing evidence. It is time for my own Copernican revolution. The natural world does not lie, and, over time, truth always wins. The Universe not only shouts the glory of God, it also shouts of deep time and deep space. Our planet not only records an amazing history of human accomplishment through brick, steel and glass, but also layer upon layer of entombed rock and bone from the past- clues to God's methods and ways with the natural world.

Let me say it: I was wrong. It was through evolutionary processes that God brought natural things into being.

There, I said it. It's out. And, I am still here- still a 'believer', still a lover of Jesus.
