Who Made It?

Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Oakland, Cal. · Jul 1, 1875

Sir Isaac Newton, a very wise and godly man, was once examining a new and very fine globe, when a gentleman came into his study, who did not beleive in a God, but declared that the world we live on came by chance. He was much pleased with the handsome globe and asked "Who made it?"

"Nobody," answered Sir Isaac, "It happened here."

The gentleman looked up in amazement at the answer, but soon understood what it meant.

The Bible says "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." Must not that man be a fool indeed who can say this beautiful and wonderful world came by chance, when he knows there is not a house, or ship, or picture, or anything else in it, but has a maker. We might as well say that this paper we are reading grew just as it is, as to say that the sun, moon, and stars, and this globe on which we live, came without a creative hand.
