The birth of Jesus (last updated: 27th April 2025)
Extraordinary birth
What better evidence is there that we have a Creator God than the birth of Jesus, the Son of God? Few would
dispute that Jesus was an extraordinary human being able to perform miracles simply by issuing commands. He was unique in every
respect, clearly genetically different from us mere mortals. This demonstrated to the World that God has unlimited power, able to
control the development of an embryo to create a very special human being, His one and only Son to live amongst us for
a short while. His resurrection is further evidence if any is needed that God fully understands how our bodies function, and this
is possible because He Created life.
It is easy to overlook the significance of Jesus' birth and resurrection and fail to see the link between these events and
the Creationist viewpoint. We hope these observations will give our readers pause for thought.
The fact that Jesus behaved with great humility during His time on Earth amongst us is surely
further evidence that He was not an imposter but the genuine article, namely God's Son.
Human imagination would envisage the Son of God as an all powerful being exercising great authority
to impress His earthly audience leaving us with no doubt as to who He was. Jesus did not behave
this way, in fact He was somewhat reluctant to show off the unlimited and unprecedented capabilities He possessed.
He tended to perform miracles
only when it became necessary due to circumstances at the time. He did not use them merely to impress His followers.
Jesus could easily have escaped crucifixion as any human being would have done by kowtowing to the sanhedrin but His mission was to provide mankind
with a means of salvation so He had no choice but to undergo the great suffering and humiliation that dying on a cross entailed.
The Glory of God's Creation
The Bible says that God is a Being with intellect (Romans 11:34), and He has made a well-ordered Universe
in which truth can be known and logical rules applied. God is the Creator of the human intellect, giving us the ability
to comprehend, think, reason, and remember.
Finally we would like to draw your attention to the work of Dr. James Tour a scientist who has done more than anyone else to
further the cause of Creationism, not based on his reading of the Bible, or on his Christian faith, but on the knowledge he has
gained from working with complex molecules in the laboratory over many years. He is a true master in his fields of technology
and no one disputes that.
One of his fields of expertise is Synthetic Organic Chemistry:
These scientists work with elements and compounds that are found in nature or are human-made. A Chemists primary job function is to
research interactions between different chemicals to discover beneficial compounds that can be used for the betterment of
the human race. Of course all of these complex chemicals are based on the trillions of elementary materials (atoms) found
throughout nature supplied for the benefit of mankind by God during the Act of Creation. Dr. Tour is well placed to critique Origin
of Life issues because he works with the very chemicals that life is built upon.
This gives him a unique understanding of the problems of building in a laboratory the complex organic molecules found in
nature.
Dr. Tour will initiate a private Zoom call with anyone who is not a believer in Jesus but
would like to hear his story about how he became a man with faith in Jesus, the Son of God
