addition, biologically speaking, there is the first Law of Bio-Genesis: That it takes “the living cells” of others, of both the Human male and the Human female, of both a Man and a Woman, as “parents,” to begin our existence,” to begin Human life at “fertilization,” to which we refer as: “Conception!”
Were Humans to have started as “little babies” in the jungles and forests of Earth natural environment, who would have cared for them, feed and clothed them, protect them from wild animals and the elements? No adult Humans would have existed then! Thus, fails again, the theory of evolution, in providing “a godless alternative narrative” to account for the “creation” of the Universe and of Humankind in it.
The Universe was “not too bright” or “not too smart” in “creating” its own nemesis — Evolutionists believe that so-called “climate change” and “global warming” are destroying the Planet and Humans are responsible and accountable for that feat of self-destruction.
But Jesus, Son of Man and Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit, approved of God and to be worshipped by Human Beings as “a miracle worker” and Savior of Humanity, not only annulled and cancelled this “covenant with death,” but also ensured us “Continuum living” by giving us access to both “life abundant” and eternal life. (Isaiah 28:14–19).
For, Jesus, “the Emmanuel of God,” means “God is with us!” (1 Corinthians 13:9–13; Revelation 22:3–5). Jesus is “the light of the world” (John 9:4–7) that casts out all anxieties sprouting from “darkness,” “doubt,” “blindness,” and “fear;” for perfect love casts out fear. (John 9:35–41; 1 John 4:16–21).
“Then Joseph, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 1:19–20).
That was to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah, the Prophet. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).
Jesus was both perfect Son of God and the “Seed of Woman,” or, the Son of Man. In fulfillment of the Scriptures, Mary had descended from Adam and Eve, “mother of all the living,” and ultimately, from the Tribe of Judah; along with Joseph, the husband of Mary, also son of Jacob his father; and of course, Jesus, who was also from the Tribe of Judah.
But Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit; for Mary was a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23–25).
So, we did not exist before we were conceived in our mothers’ wombs, before we were born! Where were we, then?
What constellations of events and activities “configured” in order to arrive at our present stage; to arrive in our times?
During which epoch, or age of Human living, — like “the state of the Union,” so to speak, — or “State of Human Society” do we enter into existence?
At what point in “the state of Human Living” — “in the annals of Human History;” — do we receive “the gift of life?”
In which historical times, in “the History of Humans,” do we encounter life, or come into being from conception to birth?
We are born into a world, during a certain period of Human History, “state of which,” we know absolutely nothing!
Secular historians have divided the history of Humankind into different “ages,” but apart from God’s immanence and omniscience, e.g., “the stone age;” “the bronze age,” etc. . .
However, as little babies in diapers, our capacities have not yet developed to their full potentialities! Thus, we are not cognizant of our earthly condition during our time of birth.
But, historically, we, were born “in the Christian era!” For we are in the Year of our Lord; anno domini, Two Thousand and Eighteen!
Our “Reality,” or “the Universe in which we live,” and earthly conditions around us, began thus:
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
But, because we are spirit-beings created unto “the image and likeness of God,” our beginnings also include the presence of God:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (Genesis 1:26; John 1:1).
In short, when the Holy Bible said, “Elohim,” or “God” said, “Let there be light; and there was light. And the Lord God saw that the Light was good,” (Genesis 1:3–4), Jesus, His Son, was also present; so was the Holy Spirit. For at the same time, — God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, — that GOD, was creating “star-light” or “sun-light,” Jesus was already “the light of the world,” — that is, since before the foundation of the world:
“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:4–5).
God is Spirit. We have a spirit, a soul, and, a albeit mortal, biological body. Materially, and also, spiritually, God had already separated the Light from the Darkness; (Genesis 1:4), that is, God had separated Himself, from Satan, and from the material Creation He had brought into being.
Satan is “the prince of this world,” whom God had cast out of Heaven; and God had also separated Himself from “the rulers of this world.” (2 Corinthians 2:7–8; James 1:16–18; 4:4–8; 1 John 1:5–10).
Thus, in the same manner, God had already separated those who are His in Christ Jesus, His Seed, from the wicked people who practice evil, “the Seed of Satan.” (Genesis 3:15; Matthew 25:46; Romans 8:28–30; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10; Revelation 22:14–15.)
But, says the Unbeliever: We will no longer “biologically exist” after we die! Our living existence thereby ends and our lives terminate on the Earth, in a state of “terminal Entropy” or “final Entropy,” which we call, death!
But, still, asks the Doubter: “Where are we going?” Our “inner-being” or “inner-self” — our Soul, our Spirit, our Mind, our Heart; the “Person” within our bodies, our “decision-making free-will Self,” our “Personhood,” our “inner-Person,.”. . .etc. . .?.
These abstract spiritual-moral “character traits of Personhood,” are surely different, separate, and independent from our physical-biological bodies! The body can be “paralyzed,” yet “the Mind lives!” A good example, “in our times,” was Physicist Stephen Hawking! What happens to the “inner-Person” who says: “I am?”
“Where did we come from?” and “Where are we going?” make up the “conundrum” which “Human Nature” must always “deal with,” even as we “wrestle” with “the Human Condition.”
We, as little babies needing diapers and regular feeding from adults who gave us birth, our parents, know nothing of the world in which we find ourselves at birth. Yet, God, our Creator, foreknew us, even before we were born!
“For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psalms 139:13).
“I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well; my
