He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile. vv.9-11
Read chapter 94
This confident psalmist in God reproves the atheist. He reasons against their skepticism with specific examples such as the ear and the eye. Shall not the Creator of the ear be able to hear or the Creator of the eye be able to see? Of course!
He fashioned that marvellous organ, and fixed it in the most convenient place near to the brain, and is he deaf himself? Is he capable of such design and invention, and yet can he not discern what is done in the world which he made? He made you hear, can he not himself hear? Unanswerable question! It overwhelms the sceptic, and covers him with confusion. He that formed the eye, shall he not see? He gives us vision; is it conceivable that he has no sight himself? With skilful hand he fashioned the optic nerve, and the eyeball, and all its curious mechanism, and it surpasses all conception that he can himself be unable to observe the doings of his creatures. If there be a God, he must be a personal intelligent being, and no limit can be set to his knowledge. ( Charles Spurgeon)
The Lord teaches man knowledge, He gave Adam all wisdom (the sciences included), yet it seems pointless sometimes arguing or debating one who does not believe as they can't understand these basics. What basics of God as Creator, our Intelligent Designer, do you have a hard time understanding or reasoning with other about?
