The God Question
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” — Genesis 1:1
Is There a God? A Creator?
Or are we, as Darwin and others propose, the random product of a faith-demanding concept like the primordial “caldron soup”?
From the first time I saw a leaf under a microscope, I stood in awe. Beneath a leaf’s surface lies a world of intricate design. The cuticle protects it from water loss, while the epidermis shields the inner layers. Beneath it, the palisade mesophyll cells capture sunlight for photosynthesis, and the spongy mesophyll allows gases to circulate. Threaded through are the xylem (carrying water and minerals) and phloem (transporting food). The stomata on the lower epidermis open and close to breathe life into the plant. A perfect system of order and balance.
My awe is the structures hidden within the leaf. I never cease to be amazed by the leaf. Something so delicate, yet so precisely built, could not be an accident. Its veins carry life, its cells convert light into energy, and its structure whispers design. And yet, with all this sophistication, nothing in nature comes close to the design of man.
When I look at humanity, I see brilliance that defies randomness. We are not the product of chaos. We are the product of thought. Of love. Of design. Of skill. Of power.
Man the Masterpiece
When you marvel at a camera, its lenses, its precision, its power to capture light, pause and consider the human eye. No invention rivals it. The eye adjusts effortlessly to light and darkness, to focus and depth, interpreting millions of shades and dimensions in an instant. Every blink is an act of engineering brilliance; every gaze, a miracle of perception. We have been given within our very bodies what no man can fully reproduce.
Cities depend on pumps to move water through pipes and sustain life. Yet, no pump on earth compares to the human heart. This small organ, barely the size of a fist, beats over 2.5 billion times in an average lifetime, sending over 2,000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of vessels daily. It neither sleeps nor stops. Designed for endurance, calibrated for precision, it outperforms every machine ever made.
Engineers build elaborate sound systems and strive for pure tones. But the human ear remains unmatched. It can detect a whisper in the wind or the roar of thunder and distinguish countless layers of pitch, tone, and harmony, all while maintaining balance and spatial awareness. It is both a receiver and a processor, interpreting vibration into meaning, sound into understanding.
Modern science marvels at nuclear reactors, solar fields, and hydroelectric dams, grand achievements of human engineering. Yet the human body contains a power plant far more advanced than any of these. The digestive system, living, dynamic, and self-repairing, transforms the simplest of meals into energy, rebuilding cells, repairing tissue, sustaining movement, and fueling the brain, that complex command-and-control center that governs thought, emotion, and coordination. Every mouthful becomes motion. Every breath sustains life.
The Study of Man
From anatomy to biochemistry, physiology to psychiatry, man has devoted centuries to studying himself. Medical schools spend years training minds to understand the body’s systems, and yet, each decade reveals more mysteries than the last. The more we learn, the more we realize how little we truly know. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Designed, Not Random
This harmony, this order, this breathtaking complexity cannot be the work of accident or chance. Every structure, from the spiraling DNA molecule to the rhythm of the heartbeat, speaks of intention. Man is not the product of chaos; he is the expression of design. Of Art. Of Beauty. A living testimony to intelligence, purpose, and divine artistry. We are walking, breathing marvels of divine engineering. Every breath and heartbeat testifies to the genius of the Creator’s design.
The Music of Creation
Researchers have translated the subtle movements within plants or the micro-vibrations of flowing water into sound, a process called biosonification, and the results weren’t random noise. The sounds were musical. Harmonic patterns emerged, elegant, ordered, and surprisingly beautiful. Movement translated into melody. Think about that. The hidden life of plants, the gentle pulse of sap, the slow breath of leaves, the ripple of a stream, when brought into the range of human hearing, sings.

Beauty appears where we expected only function. If nature can produce harmony when its processes are revealed, what does that say about the world we live in? It suggests that creation is not mechanical, but musical. That behind every law, every motion, every unseen vibration lies rhythm and resonance, the signature of intelligence and love. The universe hums with order. The cosmos is composed, not chaotic. It feels, unmistakably, like the kind of world a Creator would make, not indifferent, but intentional; not silent, but singing.
Creation sings. And its music reveals a Composer. Just as a Van Gogh brushstroke or a Beethoven sonata bears the mark of its author, the artistry of life carries the unmistakable imprint of its Maker.
The Divine Preparation
Genesis 1 tells a story far greater than mere beginnings. It’s not only the account of how man was created, but of how man was prepared for. Man wasn’t the first to appear, he was the last. And yet, the most significant. If you reverse the order of creation, the purpose becomes clear: everything that came before was made for man. Light to see. Land to stand upon. Seeds and trees and animals for nourishment.
Oceans, skies, and rhythms of night and day, all set in place like the backdrop of a grand stage awaiting its central character.
Everything was designed in harmony, every element interconnected, and forming a hierarchy of purpose. The food chain, the ecological systems, the very food pyramid itself — all speak of order. Each level sustains the next, all culminating with man at the summit, not by accident, but by design.
Creation was a stage being set for humanity’s entrance. Nothing was random.
No wonder Scripture asks in awe:
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?”
— Psalm 8:4 (KJV)
Man stands as both the reason and the recipient of divine preparation, the crown of creation, placed within a world perfectly tuned for his existence.
The Artist’s Signature
Denying the existence of a Creator is a choice, but the artistic footprint of the Creator in nature cannot be denied. Without man, the world has no interpreter, no steward, no one to admire or govern it.
And yet, even in rebellion, the design remains. The signature is still everywhere.
Final Thoughts
Man is amazing. I am amazing. I am His workmanship, fearfully and wonderfully made. I am beyond awesome, and so are you.
So to answer the question, “Is there a God?”, the answer is a resounding Yes!
You are not here by accident. You are not a random collection of cells. You are here on earth at this time, by design, not chance. God designed you and me with incredible thoughtfulness, and He created us with a love that surpasses comprehension.
Yes, you are the apple of His eye, the crown of His creation.
Come, let’s pursue truth together.
Let’s seek His glory.
Welcome to Glory Pursuit.
