The Most Important Question In Life . . .

I believe the most important question in Life is "Is there a Creator God, or not?" The answer to that question will govern our whole outlook on life. If there is no Creator God and we are the result of pure accident, then we came from nothing, are here on Earth for no purpose, and are going nowhere except into oblivion. Our lives are without reason or purpose. We have our moments of Joy and often many more moments of pain and sorrow. There is no reason for our existence or the existence of anything in the Universe. It might as well have never happened.
There would be a need for Law, so that we can remain civilised and governable. Most would just keep the law because they are afraid of getting caught, there being little need for morals. It is so evident that in our modern western world, which has largely abandoned belief in a Creator God, morals have indeed gone largely out of the window.
However, If there is a Creator God, then the picture is entirely different. We are no accident. We came from somewhere and are on this Earth for a PURPOSE. After our lives are over we will be moving on. We will have someone to answer to as for our actions other than the law, and we will have need for morals once that God has made known what is required of us. Our whole outlook should then be radically different.
For one thing we would become answerable to God. There would be Spiritual Laws we would be expected to follow. We would expect consequences if we do not follow those Spiritual Laws, just as consequences follow our not following Physical or Laws of the Land. I wonder how often people who feel in their hearts there is a God, ignore those promptings because they simply do not want to face the fact and have to change their lifestyle!
For all the years humanity have been on this Earth up to the last approx 100 years, virtually all of humanity have believed in the Divine. The nomads of prehistory, the bushmen and aboriginals, the civilised and uncivilised of all past ages had a God or Gods. The idea of a supreme being or beings seem to have been instilled into the very Psyche of all mankind. I believe it still is!
Then comes the Scientific Age! The idea that all the Universe is just the result of accident evolving from nothing. Darwin's theory of Evolution taught as FACT in schools for many years.This is gradual evolution by natural selection. This was accepted by academics and instilled into all our children. However the evidence (ie in the fossil record) seemed to show that the various creatures appeared suddenly and virtually no evidence seemed to show a gradual evolution. Now the Scientific world is changing its mind. The FACT of gradual evolution is giving way to one of sudden jumps! In other words the theory is being made to match the evidence.Now evolution by sudden jumps is being taught to all our children as a FACT.
Evolution seems to teach that creatures developed or changed from one species to another over time. No one has ever actually witnessed any creature evolving into a different species, They just seem to go on producing their own kind, and the very genes seem to make certain that cross breeding or any radical change from one species to another is not possible. I also wonder, if evolution is a fact, why we ever evolved a human conscience! (an inborn awareness of right and wrong).
The Bible tells a very different story. But one that fits the know observed facts. "Each creature gives birth to its own kind". Also that they were not evolved but created.
One evolutionary scientist commented, "The chance of life evolving from non-living matter is so extremely remote that it should be considered scientifically impossible, but it must have happened". Wow hardly a scientific remark! This scientist would rather accept the impossibility of evolution than even consider the possibility of Creationism.
The argument as to whether there is a Creator God or whether all is the result of blind chance can go on and will do so. In the end it comes down to faith I guess. But something deep in each of us - whoever we are - seems to whisper to us of the Divine.
Someone once told me that in time mankind will be clever enough to produce life from non-living matter and make a creature (God forbid). I pointed out to that person that should that ever happen, it would only prove that it took an intelligent, planning and designing being to do it. It would not be the result of pure blind chance.
"Bible translator Ronald Knox was once engaged in a theological discussion with scientist John Scott Haldane, "In a universe containing millions of planets," reasoned Haldane, "is it not inevitable that life should appear on at least one of them?" "Sir", replied Knox, "if Scotland Yard found a body in your cabin trunk, would you tell them: "There are millions of trunks in the world - surely one of them must contain a body?" I think they would still want to know who put it there"
Are we prepared to face this most important of all questions? Are we the offspring of a Heavenly Father or are we just the result of blind meaningless chance? Are we here for a purpose? Is our conscious awareness no more than the result of the chemical reactions inside our own body? Something deep inside me tells me this is not the case.
Will YOU give a few moments to consider this the most important question in Life?
