OF FLOWERS AND THE BALTIMORE ORIOLE (C. 1958)

Unfortunately, increase in factual knowl­edge has not resulted in greater recognition of God. Rather it seems that man has felt that by explaining something he has eliminated the need for a God.

LABORATORY LESSONS (C. 1958)

The Bible is proved scientifically accurate, even in its many small details …

THE UNIVERSE UNDER CENTRAL CONTROL (C. 1958)

Popular conceptions are often misleading. It is, for instance, generally believed that science is like a brilliant and talkative old man who knows all the answers. Instead, science is like a young man who asks a lot of questions. He does much thinking and pondering. He attempts to keep careful, classified notes. The typical scientist is never satisfied that he has the final truth on anything at all.

NATURALISM MUST BOW TO THEISM (C. 1958)

THROUGHOUT all the ages of human history man has asked three profound questions: Whence came I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Many hundreds of books on metaphysics have dealt with these questions. The riddle of existence is an age-old problem. The thesis of this chapter is that theism provides the most satisfactory answer to a rational mind.

CHEMICAL LAWS AND GOD (CIRCA 1958)

What is the directing force that underlies the laws of statistics? When one applies the laws of chance to the proba­bility of an event occurring in Nature, such as the formation of a single protein molecule from the elements, even if we allow three billion years for the age of the earth or more, there isn’t enough time for the event to occur. Only by postulating a directional Force with a purposeful end can we account for the harmony and order which have come from chaos.

FACTS FROM A FORESTER’S FIELDBOOK (C. 1958)

God is not the author of confusion. Quite in contrast, His creative acts are systematically arranged to exhibit order at its highest level.

A FISH, A PLANT, AND A WORM : ALL ON A MISSION FROM GOD

No storms ever gathered, nor any changes in the air which stir up rain happen by chance. Rather the cosmos is so regulated by God’s power that nothing takes place without being foreseen and decreed.

PHOENIX POLICE AND DIVINE PROVIDENCE

How is it that the police officers and medic were (extraordinarily) together on this very night, at this precise moment, and felt compelled to investigate the exact property (a place they never bothered with before now) where this man lay near death?

REFLECTIONS ON THE PROVIDENCE OF GOD, MISSIONARY ACTIVITY IN AMERICA, AND THE 1996 SUMMER OLYMPICS (ATLANTA)

TOZER: WE TRAVEL AN APPOINTED WAY

It is unthinkable that a God of infinite wisdom and power would create a world without a definite plan for that world.
