00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 Hello,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47 I really wanted to be a child psychologist,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49 but 40 years ago,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 in my native Bay Area of California,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 my university was extremely humanistic.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58 As a new Christian,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:04 I found the concept that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny did

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 not leave space for a

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07 creationistic viewpoint,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 and I wasn't going to regurgitate evolutionary dogma.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14 In simplistic terms,

00:01:14 --> 00:01:19 ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny means that the journey we take

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 from womb to world

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26 mimics the evolutionary process theorized in humanistic teaching.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31 That we are one-celled organisms in primordial slime that

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 evolve into human form.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39 I've also mentioned that I'm studying chemistry as part of my

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40 aromatherapy certification,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 and that I'm not a very science-y gal.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:49 However, a picture in one of my chemistry classes struck a chord.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52 A number of them, in fact.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57 In our midweek Bible study, we're in the book of Genesis.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 Having recently discussed creation,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05 when I saw a picture of an individual membrane-wrapped cell,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 It showed water inside the cell,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14 a membrane as the outer layer of the cell separating it from

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 the water inside our

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16 bodies.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 With that in mind,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:26 water inside the human cell separated by a membrane acting as a

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27 barrier to water

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28 inside the body

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33 Listen to the words of the creation account of the second day

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34 from Genesis 1,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:34 6-8.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 And God said,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43 Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate the

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 waters from the waters.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52 from the waters above.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54 And it was so.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 God called the expanse sky.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02 And there was evening and there was morning the second day.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08 Romans 1.20 tells us that nature itself declares that there is

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 a designer behind

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11 the intelligent design.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16 The eye and how cameras mimic it to take pictures.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:18 Our lungs,

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 the branchioles of which look like trees,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:27 reminding us of the symbiotic relationship we as humans have with trees.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 Humans exhale carbon dioxide,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 which trees need for photosynthesis,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 and trees produce oxygen,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 which humans need in order to breathe.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43 The Bible talks about channels of the sea,

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45 currents of the wind,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47 constellations,

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49 orbits of the sun,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50 moon,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51 and planets,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55 long before humans understood these concepts.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57 Truly,

00:03:57 --> 00:04:02 Psalm 14.1 is correct to say that only the foolish would claim

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04 there is no God.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07 How can we refute his plain evidence?

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11 Jeremiah 29.13 says,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16 You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17 your heart.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22 Our meme for today echoes this sentiment saying,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25 God is plain to see by eyes.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28 that truly seek him.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:35 What to you is the most mind-blowing aspect of God's design?

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37 Chime in below.
