DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION;
AND WHO CHOOSE NOT TO
'REMEMBER THEIR CREATOR',
AND ALSO TO THOSE WHO
IN A DAY OF TRIBULATION
BECOME DARK AND MOROSE,
AND CARE TO QUESTION GOD,
- - - - HE HIMSELF,
HAS A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK.
THE BOOK OF JOB: Chapter 38
38:1 Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
38:2 "Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?
38:3 Brace yourself,
38:4 "Where were you, when I

38:6 What supports its foundations,
38:7 as the morning stars sang together
38:8 "Who defined
38:9 and as I clothed it
38:10 For I locked it behind barred gates,
38:11 I said, 'Thus far and no farther will you come.
38:12 "Have you ever commanded the morning to appear
38:13 Have you ever told the daylight
38:14 For the features of the earth take shape
38:15 The light disturbs the haunts of the wicked,
38:16 "Have you explored the springs from which the seas come?
38:17 Do you know where the gates of death are located?
38:18 Do you realize the extent of the earth?
38:19 "Where does the light come from,
38:20 Can you take it to its home?
38:21 But of course you know all this!
38:22 "Have you visited the treasuries of the snow?
38:23 I have reserved it for the time of trouble,
38:24 Where is the path to the origin of light?
38:25 "Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
38:26 Who makes the rain fall on barren land,
38:27 Who sends the rain that satisfies the parched ground
38:28 "Does the rain have a father?
38:29 Who is the mother of the ice?

38:33 Do you know the laws of the universe
38:34 "Can you shout to the clouds and make it rain?
38:35 Can you make lightning appear
38:36 Who gives intuition and instinct?
38:37 Who is wise enough to count all the clouds?
38:38 turning the dry dust to clumps of mud?
38:39 "Can you stalk prey for a lioness
38:40 as they lie in their dens
38:41 Who provides food for the ravens
Job 39
39:1 "Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
39:2 Do you know how many months they carry their young?
39:3 They crouch down to give birth to their young
39:4 Their young grow up in the open fields,
39:5 "Who makes the wild donkey wild?
39:6 I have placed it in the wilderness;
39:7 It hates the noise of the city,
39:8 The mountains are its pastureland,
39:9 "Will the wild ox consent to being tamed?
39:10 Can you hitch a wild ox to a plow?
39:11 Since it is so strong, can you trust it?
39:12 Can you rely on it to return,
39:13 "The ostrich flaps her wings grandly,
39:14 She lays her eggs on top of the earth,
39:15 She doesn't worry that a foot might crush them
39:16 She is harsh toward her young,
39:17 for God has deprived her of wisdom.
39:18 But whenever she jumps up to run,
39:19 "Have you given the horse its strength
39:20 Did you give it the ability to leap forward like a locust?
39:21 It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength.
39:22 it is unafraid.
39:23 The arrows rattle against it,
39:24 Fiercely it paws the ground
39:25 It snorts at the sound of the bugle.
39:26 "Are you the one who makes the hawk soar
39:27 Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights
39:28 It lives on the cliffs,
39:29 From there it hunts its prey,
39:30 Its nestlings gulp down blood,
Job 40
40:1 Then the LORD said to Job,
40:2 "Do you still want to argue with the Almighty?
You are God's critic,
but do you have the answers?"
40:3 Then Job replied to the LORD,
40:4 "I am nothing
– how could I ever find the answers?
I will put my hand over my mouth in silence.
40:5 I have said too much already.
I have nothing more to say."
because I have some questions for you,
and you must answer them.

dimensions were determined?
. . . And who did the surveying?
and who laid its cornerstone
and all the angels shouted for joy?
the boundaries of the sea
as it burst from the womb,
with clouds and thick darkness?
limiting its shores.
Here your proud waves must stop!'
and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
to spread to the ends of the earth,
to bring an end to the night's wickedness?
as the light approaches, and the dawn is robed in red.
and it stops the arm that is raised in violence.
Have you walked about and explored their depths?
Have you seen the gates of utter gloom?
Tell me about it if you know!
and where does the darkness go?
Do you know how to get there?
For you were born before it was all created,
and you are so very experienced!
Have you seen where the hail is made and stored?
for the day of battle and war.
Where is the home of the east wind?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
in a desert where no one lives?
and makes the tender grass spring up?
Where does dew come from?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
and the surface of the water freezes.
Are you able to restrain the Pleiades or Orion?
or guide the constellation of the Bear
with her cubs across the heavens?
and how God rules the earth?
and cause it to strike as you direct it?
Who can tilt the water jars of heaven,
and satisfy the young lions' appetites
or crouch in the thicket?
when their young cry out to God
as they wander about in hunger?
Have you watched as the wild deer are born?
Are you aware of the time of their delivery?

Will it stay in your stall?
Will it plow a field for you?
Can you go away and trust the ox to do your work?
bringing your grain to the threshing floor?
but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.

She is unconcerned though they die,
He has given her no understanding.
she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.
or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?
Its majestic snorting is something to hear!
When it charges to war,
It does not run from the sword.
and the spear and javelin flash.
and rushes forward into battle
when the trumpet blows.
It senses the battle even at a distance.
It quivers at the noise of battle
and the shout of the captain's commands.
and spread its wings to the south?
to make its nest?
making its home on a distant, rocky crag.
keeping watch with piercing eyes.
for it feeds on the carcass of the slaughtered."
