Who Made Your Eyes?

Welcome to the GOSPEL Journey discussion. These posts are to help you engage with the central message of the Bible. This week, we will be dealing with the statement: God created us to be with Him. Comment. Question. Agree. Disagree. Either way, let us know what you think.

Who made your eyes?

Many are now referring to creation as “intelligent design.” It seemed to lessen the emotion involved in the creation/evolution debate. However, the term “intelligent design” implies an “intelligent designer,” doesn’t it?

Take a look at Romans 1:18-23 and then answer the following questions:

1. What is God’s wrath in response to? Is the idea of a wrathful God hard for you to comprehend?
2. How available is the evidence of God?
3. What displays attributes of God to all? What are some of those attributes?
4. Can a person claim that God has not revealed Himself to him/her?
5. Who do those who deny worship to the Creator ultimately end up worshipping?

You don’t have to see the Ford oval on the grille of a car to know it had a manufacturer. You may not know who printed your textbooks, but that doesn’t change the fact that you believe there is a publisher. Now consider your eyes. Is it really possible that they developed without a Designer? Even just tear duct, as simple as it may seem, is incredibly complex and the eye depends on it for its survival. Does time/chance allow for the evolution of the eye and the tear duct at the same time? What would be the purpose of the tear duct before an eye? What would be the function of the eye, if not for the tear duct?

Ask yourself the question. “Is the concept of creation that difficult for me to believe, or is it that I struggle with the idea that I may need to answer to a Creator?”
