Towel Day?!?

I had never even heard of "Towel Day" until one of my brothers sent me an e-mail about today being so designated. Apparently, the 25th of May is designated "Towel Day" in honor of the late author Douglas Adams who wrote, among other things, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." However, as I looked into this a little, I surmise that towel day may be appropriate in this case: we should be crying for the soul of this man who will be spending eternity in Hell. According to the information posted regarding Mr. Adams, he was an avowed atheist - so much so that today's lead evangelist of atheism, Richard Dawkins, dedicated one of his books to him. It bewilders me that anyone can look and study the incredible beauty and wonder of the universe and not see the handiwork of the Creator.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the works of His hands." - Psalm 19:1

When I look up into the beauty of the star-filled sky, the words of that old hymn come to mind:
"O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed." This awe and wonder becomes even greater as I ponder and consider the way that the universe is so perfectly balanced and proportioned: how all of these things are lined up with such precision that they could have only come from an omniscient Creator.

"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and stars, which You have ordained" - Psalm 8:3

The Lord has indeed blessed us and continues to bless us. He shows forth His amazing handiwork, if only we will open our eyes and see. However, we are living our lives in grave peril if we look upon these wonders and try to deny that there is a God that is Lord over all.
