“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.” (Psalm 24:1-2 NIV).
As I write today’s thought, my mind skips to a legal battle being waged in Cobb County, Georgia. The battle is over a sticker in the schools science book that reminds us that evolution is only a theory and should be studied with an open and critical mind. The courts have ordered the sticker removed, claiming that it violates the establishment of religion clause (a clause the courts manipulated but the ACLU have misinterpreted and misused since the mid 1940's).
What does this have to do with our text? Everything. In our text David recognizes that since God created the earth and everything on it, then He has the right to it all. Right there is the rub for evolutionists. Darwin himself stated that he wanted nothing to do with a concept of origins that might include God. Why? Because Darwin like others before him and a host of people who have come after him rightly perceived that if we recognize a Creator then we become responsible to that Creator. Darwin didn’t want it and so he invented a new religion which he cloaked in the guise of science–a religion of atheism whose origin story is evolution. Darwin and all those who have followed in his misguided footsteps understand both the truth of implications of saying, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2 for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.”
