Seeing is believing

I took a nice long motorcycle ride today in the beautiful desert of Arizona. I started early in the morning and watched the sunrise and couldn't help but notice how wonderful God's creation is. Such a diverse collection of animals, birds and desert plants all wonderfully designed to exist together. How do I know that these animals, birds and plants were designed? Faith and sight. Take the hawk that I saw this afternoon, he displayed masterful control of the sky. The shape and structure of each wing eclipses the efforts of man to build something comparable yet there are people who believe such structures could come about spontaneously. I believe that it takes more of a leap of faith to believe that the beautiful hawk evolved than it does to believe that the hawk was created. Why is it so hard to believe that there is a creator who is responsible for the earth and everything in and on it? To believe that there is a creator is to believe that we are accountable to that creator as part of the creation. We, as the created, would be subject to the rules of the one that created us. Some people don't like to think that there is an authority above self and therefore can't believe that there is a higher power to which we are accountable. It all comes down to belief and God has provided all the evidence we need to believe in him as stated in Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." The evidence of God's hand in nature is too strong to avoid! For more on God's revelation of his creation please visit http://www.growingchristians.org/dfgc/without.htm
