1). I believe that Job is simply
asking the obvious that is declared in Romans 1. That how can anyone look
around at the creation of the universe and not see the hand of God.
a). Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is
revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19 Because that which may be known
of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
1:20 For the invisible things of
him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so
that they are without excuse:
b). The majesty of the universe is
too wonderful to magnificent to declare they did not come from the hand of God.
When one does so they are suppressing the truth.
2). ICR 8/28/11 The book of Job is
one of the oldest books in the world, yet it contains numerous references to
natural systems and phenomena, some involving facts of science not discovered
by scientists until recent centuries, yet recorded in Job almost 4,000 years
ago. A good example is in 26:7. "He stretcheth out the north over the
empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing." While ancient
mythologies may imagine the earth to be carried on the shoulders of Atlas or on
the back of a giant turtle, Job correctly noted that it is suspended in space.
The force of "gravity" is still not understood, and it is quite reasonable
to believe that God Himself holds it in the assigned place in His creation. There
is a reference to the rotation of the earth in 38:14. "It is turned as
clay to the seal." This speaks of the smooth turning of the globe to
receive the sun's daily illumination. "The springs of the sea" are
mentioned in 38:16, even though it has only been discovered in recent decades
that there are springs of water emerging from certain parts of the deep ocean
floor. The fact that mountains have "roots," consisting of rocks of
the same nature and density as the mountains themselves, is noted in 28:9. The
infinite extent of the stellar heavens, contradicting the ancient pagan notion
of a vaulted sky with stars affixed to a sort of hemispherical dome, is
suggested in 22:12. "Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the
height of the stars, how high they are!" (see also Isaiah 55:9, etc.). There
are many other scientific insights in this remarkable book and no scientific
errors. The logical conclusion, as our text says, is that "the hand of the
LORD hath wrought this." HMM
