Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge--the LORD--knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.

How can man be so foolish? How can the One who gave us ears not hear? The One who gave us eyes not see? Only if man is convinced that he is the end of a long line of a random process that has brought order out of chaos and that he stands as the ultimate accomplishment of that process.
