The Powerful Cosmos

Ancient people believed in myths,
so they created images of gods
worshiping them in beautiful temples...
but they refused to bow down
and worship the Omnipotent Spirit
who breathed life into Adam and Eve.  


They didn't see the powerful cosmos 
working in the infinite universe,
so they left their fate to the hands of gods
making up tales to honor them;
and not seeing all that the eyes saw in reality,
they rejected the belief of that Source.


And like them, some believe that everything
we see in night visions: stars and planets aligned so perfectly,
were created by a big explosion some billion of years ago,
thus rejecting the existence of a Creator...
and out of thousands of religions, only one attributed it to the true God;
even today most people follow in their footsteps, giving their souls to modern idols.
