The Incomprehensible
I found God not merely in the scripture, but in the beauty and complexity of nature and the universe.
From the compound eye to the camera lens,
the natural shape of the circle to the wagon wheel,
from the flight of the bird to the creation of the plane.
Just as the camera, the wheel, and the plane were crafted by their creators, did not the eye, the first forms of the universe, and the bird require such craftsmanship?
Can evolution not explain away these complex creations? Evolution is thought evoking, but it leaves one burning question to remain. What created evolution, and everything else we see today?
Even now, as the most evolved species on the planet contemplates its existence, the answer lies somewhere just beyond its comprehension.

Thanks for a beautiful, thought-provoking piece.
He Who has created the universe -- not to mention life itself! -- is certainly the ultimate and inimitable Creator. He has made us in His image: no wonder glimpses of His shadow (evidence of the Genetics of God) occupy our fingers, our heads, and our hearts.
After all, every wholesome earthly manifestation is an imitation of form and substance in heavenly places, even as the spotless lamb to the Lamb of God or the Sanctuary Service of Mosaic inspiration to Christ's Priestly Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary.

Well said, sir! With science, philosophy, and psychology we can better understand and see this beautiful world that we live in. Religion is merely a minute part of the essence of spirituality. The wonders of the world speak volumes of something greater than we can understand. The more beauty that I see, the more spiritual I become, and again, the more beauty that I see.
Thanks so much for stopping by cab! :)

Nicely done, and without all the rambling baggage I typically add. Kudos.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Your "rambling baggage" was quite eloquent in my eyes :P

When one contemplates on the things one sees around him and how they come into existence that is When God comes into the picture. The complexity of life and all things in it cannot be an accident but well planned and executed in perfection which brings harmony and balance of all things. And only spiritual people can understand this. Well done NewB.
