If the universe and everything in it really were designed by some entity, that entity would have to possess extremely advanced scientific knowledge. In fact, that entity would need to have a far greater understanding of scientific principles than we do. Despite all of the incredible technology that we have developed, a single human cell is far more complex that anything that we have ever created. It is just within that past several decades that we have begun to understand the sheer complexity of life on this planet.

The Bible says that a God that loves us far more than we can possibly imagine created us and everything that we see.
That is actually really good news.
Can you imagine what our world would be like if it had been created by some incredibly evil entity?
The God of the Bible is a God of goodness, He is a God of order, and He is a God of science.
And in recent years science and the Bible have been confirming one another again and again.
Of course the Bible is not a science textbook.
It is a love letter to humanity that tells the entire story of the human race from the very beginning to the very end.
But when the Bible speaks on matters of science, it is accurate.
For example, the Bible tells us that our universe is filled with vast numbers of stars. In fact, it compares the number of stars to the number of sand grains along the shore. This is what Genesis 22:17 says…
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies
In ancient times, humans could see that there were thousands of starts in the sky, but they had no idea how vast the universe really is.
Today, it is estimated that there are 200 billion trillion stars in the universe.
Put another way, there are approximately 200 sextillion stars in existence.
That is a lot of stars!
Interestingly, it has also been estimated that there are approximately 7.5 sextillion grains of sand on our planet.
So if you are going to compare the number of stars in the universe to something on Earth, sand would be perhaps the closest thing.
The Bible also tells us that every star is different. The is what 1 Corinthians 15:41 says…
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
In ancient times, humans had no idea that each star is very unique.
To the naked eye, they pretty much all look the same.
But now we know better.
In Job 26:7, we are told that the Earth does not rest on anything…
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Throughout history, various civilizations have come up with all sorts of bizarre theories about our planet.
For example, there is one ancient myth about the Earth resting on the back of a giant sea turtle.
Needless to say, that is not true.
Today, we know that the Earth is not sitting or resting on anything, and that is what the Bible said all along.
Let me switch gears and discuss the hydrologic cycle for a little bit.
