Creative Design: God’s Creative Signature

G. Thomas Sharp • February 22, 2019

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen. – Romans 11:33-36, KJV

The uniqueness and wonder of life shrouded is breathtaking as it is by nature’s ineffable mysteries, and it has baffled man for time immemorial. The full complement of earth’s priceless features are essential to our existence, but their existence is unexplainable without a Creator!

For example, the enzyme/substrate receptor site is among these wonders. The automatic interface between enzymes and their unique receptor sites, is, to say the least, extremely mindboggling. And it must be kept in mind that without their existence life is impossible! It is these obvious relationships, too many and too complex to be explained by blind chance and accident, that has caused many to believe in an organized, highly intelligent transcendence.

It was the prophet Isaiah that confirmed this idea when He told us that God’s thoughts “…are not our thoughts, neither are our ways His ways … For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) And without the fact of Creation, evangelistic gospel preaching has no foundation or justification because it was the Creator God that satisfied the price of our redemption. He came to die!

This explains Apostle Paul’s remarks to the people at Mars’ hill: “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, seeing He gives to all life and breath and all things; and has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on the face of the earth, has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation …And the times of this ignorance God winked at: but now commands all men everywhere to repent: because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world…” (Acts17:23-31)

Artemis... Is No God

By Matt Miles • May 6, 2026

Artemis - the Greek goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, chastity and childbirth. 1 While the Greek goddess may not be openly worshiped anymore, her name has now been irrevocably linked to the lesser light, just as her mythological twin brother Apollo’s was in the last century. Even so, it was not without Providence showing Who is really present in the affairs of men. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has been focused on having a prolonged presence in space with the work of the International Space Station (ISS), so until recently lunar exploration took a backseat. The Artemis missions of NASA have changed that. They began with the first launch in 2022 when an unmanned spacecraft orbited the Moon and returned successfully for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. The plan for the Artemis program is to establish an ongoing manned presence on the Moon. In upcoming missions astronauts will return to the surface, marking another generation of Moon exploration. As we press forward, may we never forget the sacrifice of many lives throughout our ongoing space program, and may we remember it is only possible by the ordered design and engineered forces at work in creation by the Lord God our Creator. Many of you may have watched, as I did, as four brave astronauts were launched from the clutches of Earth’s gravity on April 1, 2026. It was hard to describe how proud I was as an American on that day. This country, founded on God-ordained rights and privileges, was the first and only country to place His image bearers on the surface of the lesser light years ago, and we are headed back again. We are literally doing what the Lord asked of us from the Genesis 1:28 mandate in studying His creation. As much as I know that not all who work for NASA have this worldview, there are several that do, praise the Lord! On Artemis II launch day, one of the four astronauts on board was our brother in Christ - Victor Glover, mission pilot.
