Intelligence of Man

G. Thomas Sharp • April 25, 2018

It plainly teaches in Genesis that man was made in the image of God, and that he was to have governing dominion over all the animals and the land of the earth. This would have, of course, demanded that must have been created with incredible intelligence. And this high-level intelligence must have left observable remnants in the world.

Moreover, if man rebelliously congregated in Babel sometime after the Genesis Flood (somewhat less than 4500 years ago), and God plainly told him to multiply and fill the earth, but he defiantly built a tower high into the heavens to establish his own religious system and deity, again, there must be some traceable evidence showing recognizable interrelatedness remaining in the world.

Of course, this is one of the reasons for evolutionary perpetuity—the billions of years tends to dissuade or discourage any legitimate research! In fact, evolutionary chronology is all about confounding, mystifying and bewildering…it is so far out of the reach of mortal man that most say, in effect, “whatever?”

Evolutionary predictions produce insoluble dead ends and unexpected anomalies, because it predicts man to be a product of animal evolution that had beginnings dominated by squeaks, grunts and growls from ignorant cave dwellers. Man, according to evolutionists, has only been man for about 200,000 years (wow, that’s a long time?). But when we examine this supposed historic record, we find many great surprises. Looking as far back as we can we see can historically conceive into man’s past, we observe unbelievable towers being built, man constructed empires being established, human language being spoken, cognizance of God through religion expressions, etc. It makes one consider the reality that the Bible speaks of all this.

Whether we look at the civilization associated with Seth (3874 B.C) that began animal husbandry and agriculture, or the sophistication of Jubal and Tubal-Cain that witnessed the beginning of music and metallurgy, or the rise of the Babylonian Empire, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Chinese and the incredible forms associated with India, the building of the pyramids, the formation of the Egyptian alphabet, the Code of Hammurabi, Moses and the rise of Israel, etc., we unmistakably see the intelligent of man that could have only come from the Creator God of holy Scripture. To God is the Glory! (Psalms 8:3-9)

Picture of the Moon

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.
