"Why?": Our Magnificent Earth!...Our Ultimate Destiny!

By Carl D. Rowe

Do you really believe all that Science and Secular Society is pushing upon us as TRUTH, when in reality, it is Theory? Maybe you and I should delve into these theories a bit closer and see if they line up with Scripture and Common Sense! This book explores and exposes some of these ridiculous theories and asks you to simply look at the awesome creation around you, and with an open mind, judge for yourself. After all, your Peace and Joy here on this Earth, and to whom, or what, you place your trust in, will determine your happiness in this life and eventually your eternal destiny!

The scientific community would have us to believe that there is a logical, scientific explanation to everything. My eyes, my senses, my mind and my spirit tell me otherwise. So I raise a number of questions “WHY” and present my take on why things are as they are.

“The Author asserts that Almighty God was the Creator of the Universe and the Earth, refuting the theories of Evolution, and, over time, infused His creation with amazing resources. When the “fullness of time” had come, sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to show us the way to Himself. The Earth, our bodies, and all created things are described, in great detail, illustrating the incredible complexity of all creation. The folly of mankind’s desire to travel to Mars is discussed, and the way to GOD is clearly defined.”

Most importantly, how our choices determine our eternal destiny.

Preface:

Hey Guys & Gals, got a minute?

Are you into Elk hunting? Fishing? Hiking and Camping? Bird-Watching? If you are you, no doubt, have a real serious appreciation of Nature and the wonder and complexity of it all.

You may be wondering how did all of this come about. Did this magnificent world of ours just happen by an amazing number of miraculous chances?

When you’re out there in the mountains, or on the beach and you look up and view the billions of stars and planets and the Milky Way, do you wonder if there’s really a God who created all of this, and maybe me as well?

You would really like to know a lot more about Creation and God, but you are turned off by organized religion? Good News! God is not interested in religion, but desires to have a personal relationship with you, one of His Children.

Please stay with me and read through this short book. I want to describe to you how this Earth came into being and how God has provided every conceivable resource that was needed by man, and then provided a way that we might dwell with Him forever.

I wish that I could present an impressive list of my credentials, university degrees, books authored, and literary accomplishments. Truth is that I possess none of the above. I happen to be a simple man who loves God and God’s creation and desires to awaken the wonder of His creation in everyone who may read this.

Wherever you may be on your spiritual journey, I hope that you will be challenged to open up your heart and mind to the real possibility of a Creator / God who loves you and desires a relationship with you. This is not an in-depth discussion of theology. I am, in no way, qualified to tackle that subject. I do, however, have the God-given gifts of sight, hearing, touching, feeling, observing, and a sense of awe at the awesomeness of, the beauty and complexity of nature, all of which point to our Creator.

The scientific community would have us believe that there is a logical, scientific explanation for everything. My eyes, my senses, my mind, and spirit tell me otherwise. So, I raise a number of questions, WHY? and present my take on why things are as they are.

Enjoy!
