I stumbled across a news article this evening that brought to mind the courses I had in the natural and biological sciences through the years. Since I attended a public school, I was presented with the view that the earth has been here for billions of years.
One of the many reasons they argued for such an old earth was that the time that it took for various geologic phenomenon to occur must have taken many, many years. For example, I learned that it clearly took millions of years for hydrological forces to create the Grand Canyon.
Now, I'm no geophysicist, but I do find it interesting that one earthquake has had a dramatic impact in China. The recent earthquake has yielded several lakes, one that continues to rise and has threatened to overtake an entire city.
This is one earthquake. One day . . . . just minutes really.
Perhaps Genesis is right after all. Perhaps God brought the entire earth into existence out of nothing but His Word. Perhaps He is the Almighty, Eternal, Holy God who created man and made a way to redeem them when they fell.
