God's Beauty of Creation

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast glory. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." (Genesis 1:31-2:2)

God's beauty is everywhere, and our creator, our loving God has truly blessed us. Breathtaking mountains and valleys, streams and seas intricately carved with his gentle hands. Dense beautiful forests of trees seeded out of his giving hand. Graceful Cheetahs running wide open across the African grasslands, created by God's grace. The Human Beings that love, laugh, and smile, created in our Heavenly Father's own image.

Is today's technology and science at a critical step to become tomorrow's advancements to the human race? No. The only critical step to advance ourselves is to accept God, believe he sent his only Son to die on the cross, so that we can have everlasting life. I have nothing against technology, in fact, it keeps me alive every day. But explaining everything away as "breakthroughs" in technology and science is not the answer. Science can not prove to me that the earth evolved from some random "big bang" event, and that human beings evolved from a ball of rock. Scientists look toward science to be their savior, but in reality, they just can't explain how the earth was created, and their egos will not accept that they are wrong. To them, believing in an all powerful being is "illogical."

The truth is right in front of everyone, but Satan puts blinders over their eyes. Look at the world around you, is nature's beauty a result of millions of years of evolution? Your computer, a man-made piece of technology, is the inventor's brain a result of evolving from primitive cavemen? No. These things could not have been created without God creating the heaven and earth, humans and beasts. God's beauty surrounds us all, and it is His will, everything ultimately was created by Him. We owe everything to God, and that is why I will serve him in this life and for eternity.

God Bless,
Stephen

Stephen,
It is amazing to try to grasp the complexity of creation. God is the most reasonable explanation for the existence of everything. We have been given the responsibility to use our minds and resources to understand how creation occurred. This is part of our stewardship of the world. Yet, rejecting the creator makes little sense. God is good to us and I'm very grateful! Thanks for your thoughts.
