We're a little slow getting the landscaping in.<br /> <br />You're wondering at God's creation; try this: He was creating wonders for three and a half billion years before Man arrived. There is strong evidence that trilobites and other creatures in the Cambrian, half a billion years ago, saw colours; some Cambrian animals have moire lines--i.e. refraction colour and trilobite eyes are amazingly complex and efficient.<br /> <br />So the awesome creation was up and running for quite some time. I therefore suspect that He made it for His pleasure, not ours. Our wonder, we being made in His image, is sort of a by-product.<br /> <br />blessingsSandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3379561194571607372.post-70698477290268008992009-05-08T13:52:00.000-07:002009-05-08T13:52:00.000-07:00My religion might be based on salvation, but my ch...My religion might be based on salvation, but my chief emotion IS GRATITUDE for being saved and for being safe.<br /> <br />I agree with delight and gratitude for all His creation.
