Message of Scripture 11/04/2021

 

Today’s message from Scripture is Gen. 1:27; “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

 

Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, or so the story goes, and they will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare. In reality, however, if you give six monkeys one computer for a month, what they make is a mess. Researchers at Plymouth University in England report that primates left alone with a computer attacked the machine, and failed to produce a single word. Eventually they produced five pages of text, composed primarily of the letter S. Later, the letters A, J, L, and M crept in.

 

What are the odds that monkeys could randomly type words, which could be pieced together to form one of Shakespeare’s plays? Mathematicians have considered them to be infinitesimally small, almost non-existent. But now what are the odds that monkeys can type any words at all, much less any that could be pieced together and form any coherent document, or that they could ultimately do so word for word? Accidents and chance most often produce chaos, not intelligent design.

 

I am reminded of what Paul says of those in His day who deliberately rejected the knowledge of God. “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse” (Rom. 1:19-20).  Only by understanding the will of our Creator, His way for salvation, for life, for eternity, do we have life worth living. Let’s go out to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and show the world what living in the image of God really is. God bless.
