God said...

I was rummaging through my friend's dvd collection and their 'Life in the Undergrowth' by David Attenborough greatly interest me. This documentary featured insects and was filmed using high definition photography. I am not a big fan of insects nor slimy creatures so knowing about them on a screen seemed like a better idea.
The first episode was enough to blow me away. Things that could not be seen by the naked eye was portrayed clearly on my television screen. Every strand of hair on a spider now appeared before my very eyes. A few things that fascinated me was the splendid and intricate web spun by the Nephila; the millions of giant mayflies fluttering for the last time against a magnificent sunset at Körös River; and the dragonfly after emerging from its chrysalis, spread out its wings and takes it's first flight.
Throughout the whole documentary, I was awed; awed at God the creator of all things. Here is an account of Genesis 1:20-25:

And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

I am convinced that nothing can replace the truth about creation except that God spoke and it was there. In all of our intelligence and might, we can never take care of an entire ecosystem nor replicate a single strand of human DNA. If we do evolve from monkeys, where do monkeys come from? If life was originated from the Big Bang, where did the first atoms or particles come from? There might be intelligent agnostics or naturalists out there who would never believe the words "God said, and it was" but I believe God has shown us in His Word and in this world He created, that He existed before time and He is all-powerful. He just need to speak and He can create a world filled with so much wonder and beauty. Some says faith is blind but I often wonder isn't nature one of the best evidences before our eyes that God's word is true?

One of the things I want to see before I die is the glow worms in the Woitomo Cave of New Zealand. There, you can see thousand of lines suspended from the cave's ceiling made by larvaes of the glow worm. Every line is a strand of silk with a series of droplets made by the larvae. The light produced by the glow worms reflects on the droplets and illuminates the cave, like that of a million stars in the night sky. Who can create something like this? Definitely not me nor the most brilliant intellect.
