There is design in Nature
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (Psalm 100:3 NKJV)
God is in the world as its Creator. The Scriptures tell us that “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” “Thou hast made the heaven of heavens, with all their hosts, the earth with all things thereon, the seas and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all.” “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing.” “He hath made everything beautiful in its time.”
There is design in Nature, and design presupposes a designer. A ship presupposes a ship-builder; a watch a watch-maker; a world a world-designer and world-maker. A world-designer is a thinker, and that Thinker is God—the Creator of the universe.
Man has made wonderful things; great are the beauties of art and wonders of science, and yet, notwithstanding all their beauty and finish, there is not one of them that can equal the delicacy of the little flower or surpass the beauty of the gorgeous sunset, or the grandeur of the star-gemmed heavens.
Not even the greatest of God’s children, though he be taxed to the utmost—though his life depended upon it—could make a blade of grass. God is in the harmony, law, order, intelligence, design, relation of cause to effect, adaptation of means to an end and purpose of all Nature. [1]
Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf, every ray of light… If thou love each thing thou wilt perceive the mystery of God in all - Fyodor Dostoevsky
