There was a man who got up early every morning before dawn to his work and returned after dark. He was a hardworking and successful man. Every day he took the same route to work. One day he noticed some piles of dirt in a field that hadn’t been there before.
As time went on, there appeared a foundation and later what looked like a floor and eventually some walls and a roof. He remarked to his wife, “A house has just appeared in a field, like it grew out of the ground.” His wife gave him a strange look. “What?” He asked.
”What do you mean ‘grew out of the ground?’” She asked. “Someone’s building a house.”
”I go by there everyday, and I haven’t seen anybody do anything.”
Which is more complex, a house or biological life?
Perhaps there is no greater evidence for the need of a creative, intelligent, powerful deity than biological life. Hebrews 3:4 says it this way “For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.” Or Roman’s 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
The Law of Biogenesis states that life only comes from living things. Life can never arise spontaneously from non living material. It is a biological law because we have never observed anything else. If this is true in all cases, this would require a living being that is eternal to be the creator of all life. Anything other than that would launch an infinite regression that would be unprovable and most likely (definitely) false.
Don’t let your busy life cause you to fail to recognize the builder and understand what that means for you (and everyone).
