SIR ISAAC NEWTON was not only a great and celebrated scientist, but he was also a Christian. One day he showed a friend a model globe of the earth which he had made. Around the globe he had placed the sun, the moon, and stars. It was a small likeness of a little bit of the great universe which God made.
This friend of his was an infidel he did not believe in God nor in His Son, Jesus Christ. His thought was that the earth and the sun and the moon and the stars just happened. He did not believe that God made them.
When he saw the model Sir Isaac Newton had made, he said, “What a wonderful thing this is! Who made it?”
“It just happened!” replied Sir Isaac.
“Do you think I am a fool?” returned his friend. “You know this didn’t just happen. Someone made it!”
The great scientist replied, “If someone made this, then God must have made the real universe.”
The Bible tells us, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Gen. 1:11In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1).
