Myth, 105

 ~ Man Is Irrelevant In The Big Picture ~

Myth  ~  In this great universe of billions of galaxies man is just a tiny irrelevant part of the big picture.  Mankind evolved from apes which have evolved from a Big Bang or other unverifiable source. 

Reality  ~  Man was created in the image of God and man’s purpose is to worship his Creator. 

Scripture  ~  “God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth’” (Genesis 1:27-28). 

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.  And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply in it” (Genesis 9:6-7). 

“You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.  I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. Ps 139:13-14

Comment  ~  I do not fully understand what being created in the image of God means.  One thing is clear to me.  God is the creator and He endowed man with a creativity not seen in other forms of life on earth.  Man creates, automobiles, aircraft, massive cities, and amazing electronics.  Other forms of life may create intricate structures, such as the honeycombs of bees, but their technology does not change over centuries.
