PROFESSING WISDOM

I can’t imagine what it takes to be the Director of Research at the Department of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics and regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein. I speak of Stephen Hawking who just recently died. He was brilliant in many ways, but he was an avowed atheist who did not believe in a creator of the universe, in heaven or any afterlife. Paul says in Romans 1:22 “professing to be wise, they became fools.”  Earlier in the same chapter, Paul explains that we should see God in His creation. No calculations required. We are “without excuse”

God’s invisible attributes are clearly seen...even His eternal power.” (Romans 1:20)
The chapter goes on to detail the result of foolishness and a darkened heart. It is the tragic result of guilt before our God who is due all glory, adoration and thanks.
