The Eye and the Ear Evidence God

“The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The Lord has made both of them” (Proverbs 20:12). Consider them.

The eye is far more complex than the most sophisticated camera ever designed. The eye consists of 107 million cells.

Seven million are cones which receive and record for me the full spectrum ban of colors numbering in the thousands.

One hundred million cells are rods which enable me to see in low light.

It has infinite design, order, and plan to the eye. Consider it.

When light rays hit the cornea they are slightly bent toward each other. Next the light travels through the aqueous humor, then the pupil. The iris regulates the amount of light entering the eye. Next the light travels through the curved surface of the lens into the vitreous humor and meets at a point called the focus, which ideally is the retina. From there the optic nerve can carry multiple simultaneous electronic messages to the brain.

These rods and cones are shaped differently and numbered variously with different animals. Such effect demands a great cause and that cause is our loving Creator.

Consider the ear.  You can listen to an orchestra and enjoy multiple sounds at once, sounds so faint that they flutter my eardrum one billionth of a centimeter. These sounds are transmitted to the brain by three bones called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup.

If they register the sound of a piano emitted at 250 vibrations per second, they know it is middle-C.

There is a design, a plan, and order to the ear. It is a great effect. The cause? Our loving Creator God.

The eye, the ear, the universe feeds your faith.

My eyes have seen the Alps and Andes, the Congo and Nile rivers, the Sahara and the Judean deserts, the seven seas and the five continents.

My ears have been flooded with the sounds of joy and sorrow, pleasure and protection, wisdom and wit.

BUT, the Scripture says, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard … the things which God has prepared for those who love Him” (I Corinthians 2:9).

Order, plan, and design of everything from the universe to your eyes and ears stimulate your faith. There is an effect: you. Where there is an effect there must be a cause. The cause is our loving Creator God. Trust Him as Savior.

Jesus explains why He came and offered Himself as the door to immortality.  He said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10: 10).
