Creation: Questions, Answers and Mystery

Creation: Questions, Answers and Mystery November 26, 2010

As the High Calling newsletter editor, I have the pleasure of reading and featuring other bloggers from around the network. It’s a great position that allows me to encourage others, and at the same time be inspired by great writing. 

I recently read a couple of bloggers who took two approaches to the same topic of Creation. 

Michelle Cox was ready to do battle, reading books about science and creation. She found debates and arguments and drank them up. But then it hit her.

I am neither a scientist or a Hebrew scholar”

Looking for an answer, she found it: 

Mystery.

Mystery is that cloud that neither the scientist nor the theologian can see through. The scientist cannot explain the spark of life, that combustible moment when dead matter finds living substance. The theologian cannot explain a universe that seems to be self-sustaining, spinning without obvious intervention.  

She quotes Ray Stedman, who says, Here is a book that is simply dealing with matters science has not wrestled with and indeed cannot wrestle with– the key to the mystery of human life.”  

Go on over to Michele’s Blog, Quiet Heart,” and encourage her to keep writing.  

Kat also experienced questions surrounding Creation, writes “I may not have all the answers, but I know truth.”  

She’s comfortable in her own skin of faith, aware that He isn’t always obvious, that He cannot be measured.


How can you look up at the stars and question their Maker? How can you look at a newborn and not see the image of the One in who we are created to be like? Do you really believe that all this happened by chance… that we really came from nothing? I do not know… can not know everything about Him.” 

Read, “He is, because he is.”  

What do you think about Mystery? Or do you need all your questions answered scientifically. Do we need science? Do we need faith? How do you integrate the two?

By the way, I’m always looking for interesting, unique and new blogs to highlight. You can drop me a note here.
