A couple of nights’ ago I watched a programme on T.V. about
the terracotta army discovered some time ago in China. Each soldier is amazing and individually
crafted. One man was measuring their
ears to see how unique each one is, just as if they were portraits of different
people, and I guess that is so. They
were buried with weapons which proved to be excellent and accurate. The commentator said they were, “well ahead
of their time.” Often when speaking of “primitive” peoples there is amazement
at their technology. We do not know how
Stonehenge could possibly have been positioned as it is. We marvel at the precision of the
pyramids. Why is it that we are amazed
at these things? If we read our Bibles
we see that Adam and Eve were created perfect and this would have included
their intellect. They were far more
clever than anyone on earth today and it was only after the fall when they
rebelled against God that everything about them began gradually to
decline. Evolutionists tell us that we are
becoming more and more clever, having come from nothing. The truth is, from the beginning man was more
intelligent than we are and everything is now going downhill as we race toward
eternity. What pride we have in our achievements and yet there has been no
solution to war, crime, poverty or famine.
We can flood the Earth with gadgets and fill papers with so called
science which is mostly just the product of imagination. We are failures. There is a certain solution, to turn back to
God whom Adam and Eve rebelled against, and find His salvation in Jesus Christ.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
