The vain conclude: “God could not be that smart!”

God uses science to separate sheep from goats.  As microscopes and telescopes showed the complexity of Creation, many stopped believing in The Creator.

The complexity of a blade of grass, an eye, a tiny minnow, or a tree is staggering!  Electrons, atoms, molecules, cells, structures, stars, planets, and quarks move around in perfect order.

“God could not be that smart!” scientists said as telescopes and microscopes showed how complicated things and movements are.

Catholic Fundamentalism disagrees!  “God wrote and downloaded Programs and sub-Programs to create the stage props and set decorations for The Big Movie!  It is a perfect ‘computer animation’.  It is made of something we may visualize as 3-D pixels.  Science is merely the study of stage props and set decorations.”

Many recoil in horror!  The vain conclude:  “God could not be that smart!”

The successive governments of Babylon encourage others to think “God could not be that smart!”  By doing so, they become gods!  Scientists find funding is available for those who teach:  “God could not be that smart!”

Why did God go to all that trouble?   Each life is a serious business!  The Big Movie is designed with one end in mind:  God separates sheep from goats.  His obedient sheep get to spend a joyful eternity in Heaven.  The others are cursed with unending pain.

Amid the clamor of Creation, one fact emerges.  He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies arrived at the prophesied time and place.  He announced “I come to divide.”

He separates His obedient sheep from self-worshiping goats.  He separates the saved souls from the condemned.

Many are blessed to believe. That is not enough!  The only people whose souls get into Heaven are obedient!  He was clear about that!  “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”

His obedient sheep obey His Great Church-Founding Decree:

“I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”

Semi-believers reject The Only Church Jesus Founded.  The vain conclude:  “God could not be that smart!”
