So What?
Why does any of this matter?
You might be wondering: "Okay, so you see flood evidence from airplane windows and believe the Bible is historically accurate. So what? How does that change anything for me?"
Here's why it matters:
It Changes Everything About How We See the World
If the biblical account of creation and the global flood is true—and the geological evidence suggests it is—then we're not living in a random, meaningless universe that came about by chance over billions of years. Instead, we're living in a world that was intentionally designed by a loving Creator who cares enough about us to communicate with us through His Word.
The scars we see across the landscape aren't just interesting geological formations. They're reminders of a time when God acted decisively in human history because of mankind's rebellion. They're evidence that God means what He says and does what He promises—both in judgment and in salvation.
It Gives Us Confidence in God's Word
When we see that the Bible accurately describes Earth's geological history in Genesis, it gives us confidence that it's also accurate about everything else—including God's promises of forgiveness, eternal life, and His plan for the future. If God got the "science" right, we can trust Him with our lives.
It Puts Our Lives in Perspective
Just as God provided one way of salvation through Noah's ark during the flood, He has provided one way of salvation today through Jesus Christ. The geological scars remind us that God's patience with human rebellion has limits, but they also remind us of His incredible mercy in providing a way of escape.
It's Personal
This isn't just ancient history or abstract theology. The same God who shaped the mountains and carved the valleys is the same God who offers to transform your life today. The same power that moved continents and laid down rock layers is available to move the mountains in your own life.
The Bottom Line
The scars tell us we live in a world where:
God is real and active in history
His Word can be trusted completely
Our choices have eternal consequences
Rescue is available through Jesus Christ
The most beautiful landscapes often come from the most catastrophic events—and God can do the same in our lives
So what? It means that every time you look at a mountain, a canyon, or any geological formation, you're looking at evidence that you matter to God, His Word is true, and He has made a way for you to be part of His story.
The earth bears witness to both God's judgment and His faithfulness. The question is: what will you do with that evidence?
That's what Scargazers is all about—helping people see that the story written in stone points to the story written in Scripture, and both point to the story God wants to write in your life.
