A Note on the Gene Map

Since we share so many obvious similarities with primates, why would anyone think the genes between us and primates would be anything but similar? What does that prove against Creation?

A Nice Poem

I went into a little chapel in the airport in Atlanta, GA a couple months ago because I found myself in the airport on a Sunday. There were a few people there and the preacher was a man I believe was in his 80s, but he looked like he could have been a movie star in his younger years, and he preached a nice little sermon. In the midst of his sermon he recited a poem from memory and it really affected me in a good way. I met him afterward and he agreed to mail it to me. It seems like there were some typos in his transposition of if, and so I tried to find it on the internet, but couldn’t, so I took the liberty to try to correct them. Anyway, here it is (I don’t know the title):

I stood upon a hill one night
And watched the Great Creator write
His autograph in Lightning strokes
And there was I, a witness to this
Magnificent, Momentous, Divine event!

I stood one morning by a stream,
As day was waking like a dream;
The fields were fair as fields may be in spring,
A golden mystery of buttercups;
And God came on and wrote His autograph
in the Dawn!

One afternoon, long years ago, when glacial tides
had ebb and flow,
I found this cliff, God’s hand had smitten,
I scanned its face where God had written,
With some great glacier for a pen
His autograph for time and men!

One night I stood and watched the stars,
The milky way, and ranging Mars;
Where God in letters tipped with fire,
The story of His tall desire had writ in rhyme
and signed His name;
A stellar autograph in flame!

Creation’s dawn was deep in night,
When suddenly “Let there be light,”
Awakened grass and flowers and trees
The wind, the gales, the raging seas,

And to complete creation’s plan,
In His own image God made man;
And signed His name with strokes most sure,
Man is God’s greatest signature!
