why do we matter
to You, o God
“who am I”, we ask,
as the psalmist begs the
question
wondering how you, o God
would even care that we
exist
not just individually
but a species on earth
You have made us special
a little lower than the
angels
You have given us dominion
to care for the earth
all of creation, the world
“Who am I”, I ask
and then I hear, clearly,
Your answer, o God,
“You are a part of creation,
made in the image of God.”

“Al Mohler’s Nihilistic
Man vs. Bill Nye’s Reasonable Man”
February 5, 2014
and my comment to that
post:
“After watching the
debate, my only thought was that
both of them are wrong
because they were both
too sure they were right.
Bill Nye seems to be saying
the reasonable man can
reason it all out and Ken Ham
seems to be saying just
read the bible. Neither seems
truly viable. We are
arrogant if we thinks we are creators
(i.e. copyrighting DNA
code) and we are denying our own eyes
if we say all of this
happened in such a short period of time
if you just use a
calculator to add of the genealogies in the bible.
We need the Creator and
the mind God has given us. We need
to also remember that we
only see in part now and that
God's ways are not our
ways too.”
