Phil Johnson's sermon "Why I Don't Believe in Atheists" (text: Romans 1:19-20) is a brilliant and majestic exploration of the Creation. Pastor Johnson said,
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
Why did AW Tozer claim that verse as the most important? Even though ALL scripture is profitable? Because all else flows from there. In dogmatic, simple fashion, God made a statement that answers the basic questions all humans ask. Where did we come from? Is this all there is? Why is man different from the animals? and has a conscience? and can think? As Johnson said,
When you look at this photo remember that God made all those stars.
He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. (Ps 147:4).
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing." (Isaiah 40:26).
Please listen to the sermon linked above. It will expand your thinking on Romans 1:19-20, and it will re-affirm your humility, as it did Job's, under the sovereignty of such a Creator.
"...the most obvious truth we learn about God from nature: He is glorious. Every molecule of the universe unveils and declares God's glory. You can see amazing, majestic displays of incomprehensible glory from any conceivable perspective. The glory of God is on display in vivid, intense, and graphic detail no matter where you turn your eyes. Look in the most powerful telescope at the outer edges of the current technology's ability to see, and what you will observe is breathtaking glory."NASA re-oriented its Hubble telescope and took another photo of the Pillars of Creation, its most famous photo, taken in 1995. In the 20th anniversary of the iconic space picture, we see an even more startling clarity than we've ever seen before. This morning in looking at the newly released Hubble telescope's "Pillars of Creation", I was pondering the Creator and His glory. What a joy that Johnson's latest sermon is on this topic. He unfolded a most beautiful and cohesive explanation of why the likeliest most important verse in the bible is:
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)

This text lays the necessary foundation for a truly biblical worldview. It tells us an essential truth, and it's the very first of all the inspired biblical dogmas.This photo takes my breath away. God is tremendous.
