Whose Hands Are Those That Made Us

I saw this off a friend's wall post, and I could not help but comment and also think.

‎"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life, they weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today." - Lawrence M. Krauss


This prompted me to find words to represent the hand of God in Creation. 


I do not believe we are the product of chance or explosions. Whatever explanation for the beginning of life must also fully account for the details of origin and the meaning to and for, life. 


We are too complex and too intelligent and conscious beings to simply burn out like a fuse at the end of our lives. We are a bigger presence than the bodies we have now. We are creative beings that are also emotive and sensitive. 


I do not believe that something as fickle and elusive as chance may be able to create landform, water bodies, and make human beings. Are we then the product of chance. And, by any chance, is chance still at work in this world, where more things are coming into being by the providence of chance? 
Can we also say we have mastered chance, by the way we have taken control of our lives?


This thread of thought has no firm ground to explain why we are what we are and how we are. 


I believe that our very existence and this physical world is too ordered and beautiful to be the work of something other than God. 


However we refuse to submit to the idea that there would be someone higher and wiser and more important than our race, who made us. We also refuse to submit to that Someone.

This rebellion is in our nature. Whichever leadership, government does not please or suit us, we overturn and unfollow them. We do not honour or obey any institution that cannot or will not serve and please us.

We are human-centred - we are the highest and smartest beings and we are the most important.

Romans 1 pegs this down, where we refuse to submit, much less honour or obey God.
Can a subject not pay due homage to his King? Will his King suffer this indifference for too long without teaching him to submit, or else remove him from His court?

We as created beings in the image of God, have the gift of creativity and craftsmanship, that we may too fashion things that are beautiful, because that was what He first did with us.


He is the Alpha and the Omega. He was before all things, and He made all things.
He was before us in the beginning, and I believe He will also be there at the end. 


Most people dare not be sure, but are non-committal to any divinity, and balk at the idea of submitting to any god. How long more, may we avoid this question?

I am a latecomer to Christ, and I have learnt, but am revising this truth that God is first, He is highest.
How many more will see this also.
