Definition of a Fool

"The fool hath said in his heart There is no God."  Psalm 14:1  The Bible declares that the man that says there is no God is a fool.  The reason that man is a fool is that God has shown Himself to man through his creation.  If I sit here and look at this laptop that is before me I realize there is a creator of the laptop.  The laptop is complex in its design.  It consists of circuit boards, transistors, capacitors, resistors, chemical etchings, light emitting diodes, magnets and plastic keys.  This list is not anywhere near complete.  It has so many more components.  Common sense will tell me if I examine the complexity of the computer that there has to be a person that created it.  It didn't come into being all by itself.  A person that would look at such evidence and declare that there was no creator is simply being willfully ignorant.  They see the clear evidence, but refuse to acknowledge the same.  We see the same thing declared about man in Romans 1:19-23.

Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 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:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

They wouldn't accept the true God, but fashioned themselves gods in their own image, the image of corruptible man.  When man will not worship God he has to create something to worship.  

Wouldn't it just be easier to accept that God is the creator of man and the universe and trust Him with our lives and our futures.  Don't be foolish!  Trust God.
