Microwave Oven Creationism

God does things in Big Ways. He makes stars. He creates planets. He creates Life with a capitol “L”. This kind of bigness tends to make people think that they can’t understand Him. Let’s simplify. Do you want to stand in the light of God? You do? Good. Go outside and stand in the sunshine. You have done it. You are in the Light of God. God created that light. That light left the surface of the sun about eight minutes before it touched your skin.

Sunlight is light made in the furnace of the sun. God created the sun. He used gravity, pressure, heat and lots of hydrogen gas. The gravity builds the heat and eventually two atoms of Hydrogen fuse together. This makes one atom of Helium. This also releases a lot of heat and a bit of light.

To repeat, God does things in a Big Way. Every second in our common average ordinary sun millions of tons of hydrogen are fused together. This has gone on for billions of years. It will continue for billions of more years. There it is, 93 million miles away, safely isolated from us, doing God’s Work. God’s Cook Stove. God’s Furnace. He puts in raw matter. He pushes the right buttons, and the light comes on. He cooks it. In time, the matter is cooked. What dish is God preparing? Just what is it that He is cooking? The basic building blocks of the Universe, the periodic table of the elements. That is God’s Soup.

First the Hydrogen is cooked into Helium. The soup is a little thicker. Then the other elements begin to fuse. The soup gets thicker. God is persistent. God is patient. He keeps the stove going for 18 to 20 billion years. The soup gets very thick. The longer it cooks, the thicker it gets. Heavy elements all the way out to Uranium, and beyond, are formed. This soup pot is one that God does not have to watch all the time. He does not have to stir the pot from time to time. He just lets it burn. He set the rules. It works just fine without attention.

Maybe the ancient Egyptians were not so dumb in their worship of the sun? It is certainly a visible manifestation of God. It is in a very safe place for an atomic reactor to be when it is your principal source of heat and light. This is exactly what I mean when I say that God does things in a Big Way.

Go to the library. Look up the size of the planet Jupiter. Compare it to Earth. Jupiter is basically a large ball of cold Hydrogen gas and other complex elements. Jupiter is a giant propane bottle of fuel waiting for action. Jupiter did not get big enough to turn on. It is a baby sun. It didn’t get big enough to turn on.

Jupiter is an incomplete sun. It is big, but not big enough. It does produce heat, but it does not produce light. Jupiter will just have to wait its turn. In God’s next round of star creation, the gasses and elements of Jupiter will get their chance. A chance to be a part of a star somewhere. In the meantime, Jupiter is part of God’s reserve fuel supply. Jupiter is just a kind of spare gas tank, waiting to be used.

His pithy comments and suggestions for a return to a God-centered personal religion will interest everyone.
