Basic Questions

April 19, 2014

Who?

Who made man?

Was it man through evolution?

Or God in His divine wisdom?

 

What?

What is the meaning of life?

Are we to live to continue the race?

Or to serve God for His glory?

 

When?

When was the Earth created?

Was it 4.5 billion years ago?

Or was it 8 or even 6 thousand years ago?

 

Where?

Where is the cradle of life?

Is it in Africa where the ancient hominids are?

Or is it in Mesopotamia, the possible Eden?

 

Why?

Why was man created?

To be the culmination of generations of evolution?

Or to be the children of God, his earthly progeny?

 

How?

How did the universe begin?

How did the Earth form?

How did man become man?

How?

 

How?

How come people are so divided?

When we have so much alike?

Why do we question?

And how can we not?

What is the problem with getting along?

And where is the solution?

 

How many times does the universe give mankind the answers?

How many times does God?

How often have doctors, physicists, mathematicians made mistakes?

How flawed is mankind?

 

Whose fault is it?

God's?

The Universe?

Or Mankind?

Could you handle the truth?

Just asking
