Main Characters: The Creator Yahuah

Could this Verse be True?

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. ROMANS 1:20

Evolution's Explanation

The "laws" nature appears to follow are by mere chance. There is no force maintaining our 24 hour day, seasons, physical properties - their existence is a result of random natural processes.

Bibilical Explanation

Nature itself declares intelligent design. We can expect consistency in nature and the laws of nature because they were written and are upheld by Yahuah.

Intelligent design goes hand in hand with creation, but I thought it best to do two separate pages. Dr. Stephen Meyer is the leader in this theory, check out his website. The basis of his argument is creation itself is proof of intelligent design, and therefore the Creator. For example, if I took a bucket filled with thousands of tiny letters, would you expect that if I threw them on the floor enough times that I would get a fascinating book? Seem like a stretch? Well, that's what evolution assumes but on a MUCH grander scale. A book written by haphazardly throwing a bucket of letter is far more likely than the human body designing itself. The book only requires letters to form words, the human body requires the letters to form instructions and those instructions to come to life and power themselves to create and sustain life. Of course, do your own research and decide for yourself!

Consider the Human Eye

My son has some visual issues so I tried to learn a bit about the visual system. Oh my. So complicated and quite frankly surreal when you think about what we're able to see and perceive almost instantaneously. Imagine if you had a computer with such fast sight recognition that it was able to announce any visitor coming to your house the instant they were in focus. Welp, that's what your eyes and brain do in concert without your help. Seeing takes almost no effort for most of us, we see "incidentally" just by gazing our attention. Now think about what your eyes filter out without effort. It's so crazy I don't know how we can think this just "happened." Take a look at these videos and see what you think. The crazy thing is there are evolutionists that believe the human eye is proof of poor design. Or maybe poor "luck" since there's no design in evolution. It all depends on your worldview. If you exclude the possibility of a Creator, you only see "evidence" through that lens. Pun intended.

Consider DNA

"The human genome consists of about 3 billion bases in a precise order, each of which can be represented by a letter (G, A, T or C) ref 1). They are only 4 letters that are written similar to software code. If you printed out the human genome in 12 point font, it would stretch from Boston to Houston (ref 1). I can't really conceptualize 3 billion, but one of the videos said if you typed a word a minute, for 8 hours a day, it would take you 50 years to type the equivalent of the human genome. They're not just random letters or code jumbled together, they're 3 billion letters that tell a cell what to do. This is mind bending in and of itself. I can't do human DNA justice, just watch the videos! We're supposed to believe these instructions (all 3 billion bases) ended up in a cell too small for the naked eye to observe, by mere chance. Yeesh.

10 New Testament Verses Confirming the Sabbath Law

This verse is sort of a mic drop moment: Luk 23:56 Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment. Messiah Himself confirming the law, saying Sabbath was made for man, aka humans. Mar 2:27 YAHUSHA said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. If Sabbath was not a law, Messiah would have no need to clarify what is and what is not lawful. Mat 12:12 "How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." If Sabbath was done away with, there would be no reason for Messiah to discuss Sabbath during the great tribulation. Mat 24:20 "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. Mat 24:21 "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. If Sabbath was not a law, there would be no reason for Messiah to say He is Master of Sabbath. The statement would be irrelevant. Mat 12:8 "For the Son of Man is Master of the Sabbath." Luk 6:5 And He was saying to them, "The Son of Man is Master of the Sabbath." Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is MASTER also of the sabbath. Mary Magdaline and Mary waited until after the Sabbath to go to Mesiah's grave. If Sabbath was no longer a law, they clearly did not understand. Mat 28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. Mar 16:1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. Mar 16:2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
