What has been a constant source of wonderment to me is that the cosmologists that posed the theory of the Big Bang have somehow contrived to reassemble all the original elements of the 'bang' , and form them into the Earth we know today ALL WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE HELP.
How did they manage to accomplish this conjuring trick?
Quite simple. They added BILLIONS of years to their formula and blithely stated that at certain magic moments 'this or that' took place. In other words they wrote their own fairy story to challenge the Genesis account of Creation.
This brings me to Big Ben.
Big Ben, the product of Victorian engineering, stands as a majestic and somber icon to the passage of time across the British Empire.
Since the massive clock was placed in the great central tower a team of skilled over-seers have sedulously oiled its works, adjusted it's springs and cogs and kept it ticking for a hundred and fifty years.
How is it that we readily agree that all this is so, yet strenuously deny that the solar system was engineered by God and is overseen by Him every day: a work of art infinitely more complex than Big Ben?
Would someone out there please answer that question?
Jubilate.
