It Keeps Getting More Awesome!
Been thinking to myself how we might go about shifting from the approach to studying things that “science” has adopted to a more useful and practical way. How about tossing Latin to begin with. “Creation Studies” is nicely descriptive and doesn’t require a complex definition. Everybody knows just what you’re talking about. Also, since we really have no idea what or if any of the major groups of species are related in any way, why not just call each species by it’s “common name”. Stuff like that will go a long way to making the endeavor much more appreciable to the general public.
Anyway, as I’ve been thinking about those issues the whole picture of this amazing created universe keeps getting more mind blowing. The Creator must have designed the laws that define matter in such a way that it would give him all the flexibility to use a very broad palette to not only get the cosmos on line, but all the living creatures going along with all the infrastructure to support them and us! This is REALLY BIG STUFF, indeed!!!
It really makes me wonder if our focus shouldn’t be more on appreciation of His creation rather than dissecting and manipulating it. It’s like Jesus said, “Who among you by thought is able to add a half meter to his stature? We think we have all this power to “save and preserve nature” but do we? It’s always going to be the Creator’s option to override all we do anyway. After all, He’s put all the investment into putting them here. The whales, the starlings, the pandas, the salmon and all the rest were put here for His purposes which obviously include our direct benefit! What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing He has done!
