John Knight - What is Man?

It is a fact of Science that in terms of size,
The median between the vastness of the universe
And the minuteness of an electron is - MAN!
This makes the term 'Middleman' much more significant.

Modern technology has unwittingly placed Man at the centre,
The centre of Global Development and Global Destruction.
The centre of praise - for his discoveries and conquest of space
The centre of blame - for pollution and global warming.

What is Man? - Man is a paradox between God and Evolution.
Homo Sapiens is capable of genius and crass stupidity
How does all this look from the perspective of Deity?
Must God, who created Man, bear the ultimate responsibility?

God, in his sovereignity delberately created a 'middleman'
A physical being - between the heavenly beings
And the other created beings in the species animalia.
'A little lower that the Angels - much higher than the Apes'.

Man is in a priviledged position - crowned with 'Glory & Honour'
Man is in a responsible position - responsiblefor all created things.
What is Man? - Insignificant on a universal scale - but
Very significant in terms of his intellect and abilities!

Homo sapiens has always had a choice - Ape or Angel?
It's all a question of acknowledging the 'Origin of Man'
Protoplasm in a primeaval pool - or created in the Image of God?
Do we worship at the Shrine of Evolution or the Throne of God?

Why do only the successful consider themselves 'Self Made Men'?
God created each one of us and consequently He cares for all of us,
All we have to do is acknowledge Him as our Creator and Sustainer.
'Oh Lord how majestic is your name in all the Earth! '.
