Proofs of God's Wondrous Creation! -
01-04-2007, 10:19 PM
As we all know, God created a perfect world in which every creature lives in harmony and balance with the rest of Creation. An examination of our world demonstrates exactly how well thought-out the world really is! Here's but one example:
Bees are attracted to colorful flowers, where they get nectar to make honey. In their flying about, they transfer pollen from one flower to another, fertilizing them. What a wonderful design! Each helps the other to thrive!
There are thousands more examples of the beauty of Creation and the loving design put into it by God! What's your favorite? Please share photos, too. I can't wait to see everyone's favorite parts of Creation!

Here's a fine pairing of animals which God designed to work together, enjoying their lives romping together in the wild until it's time to serve their true purpose: Keeping His people's homes well-decorated with beautiful rugs and wall-hangings.
This is a zebra. Isn't it a beautiful creature? And so tame! Clearly, it understands that humans are its friends, and comes up to greet them with the love of God in its docile eyes. After feeding this zebra, I petted it while it rubbed its head sweetly against my hand.
When it no longer requires its hide, it will make a beautiful wall hanging, or can be tanned to make all sorts of leather products. I have an ottoman upholstered in zebra, myself! I can't wait to help this zebra fulfill its true purpose!
Here we have a lioness. Also a creation of stunning beauty and grace, these gigantic cats provide gorgeous rugs for our homes, or fur coats for our women. I gave one to Rosa for Christmas. (A fur coat, not a lioness.) She likes it so much, she refuses to let anything come between it and her skin. GLORIOUS!
Finally, we see the two interacting. Can't you feel God's love in His perfect creation? All that effort to ensure that our women have proper fur coats to wear, and we have lovely upholstery! PRAISE GOD!
. . . and those PETA people tell us fur is murder? It's GOD'S PLAN! This is what Intelligent Design is all about! Making full use of the resources God put here for us. PRAISE JESUS!

Behold the kakapo—an animal so pathetic, so inconvenient, that its very existence is proof of God's creation of the universe. If evolution were true, there's simply no way it could have survived even a single generation!
The kakapo is a parrot. Unlike every other parrot species, however, the kakapo is completely flightless. Both its weight (up to eight pounds—heavier than most Bibles!) and its puny wingpower make flying an impossibility It also possess drab brownish-green plumage, in stark contrast to the brilliant plumage of its kin, and has none of their mimicking skills, capable instead of producing only a deep, loud booming sound that the males use to lure potential mates into their dens. Their use of such crude, coercive mating tactics also makes them unique in the parrot family.
Needless to say, the reptile (it can't fly, so it isn't a bird) is critically endangered. WikiPedophilia estimates that only 86 individuals are left in the wild, mainly due to habitat destruction by humans and the introduction of mammals such as cats and rats. In spite of this, God has not yet eliminated the species, a surprising fact considering its utter uselessness to civilized man and the sinful implications of its common name.
Here's a picture of a dead kakapo. Isn't it pathetic?
Survival of the fittest, indeed. Take that, Chucky Darwin!

What a lovely reptile.
God surely knows how to intelligently create parrots.

I bet he'd love to chase that parrot around . . .
Trouble is, he'd probably catch it mighty quick.

so if the world is so perfectly created then, why would God see fit to eliminate an animal after the world was created?? and to bring up the point of habitat destruction. since humans are given free will, and destroying a perfect creature that God created, then wouldn't God rain down some type of judgment on us for destroying his creatures? and if it isn't perfect, why was it created in the first place??
Is a little disappointed in this site....

It was created in the first place so we humans could use it as we see fit, whether that's using oil to power our SUVs or eating pigs and then using their bones as projectiles to knock the hats off Hasidic JOOs in the street as a tribute to Samson's achievement with the jawbone of an ass. Got it?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Yes, it is used by the Maori as a means of food, but why would God help out a heathen tribe that has not found Jesus Christ??

My favorite one is that your little finger fits perfectly into either nostril. Surely design is undeniable.

The panda, as a wild animal, totally sucks in every way possible, apart from the fact it is kinda funny to look at in zoos.

but what of the Kakapo? it's only use is to feed a heathen tribe. How do you explain the existence of a creature that's usefulness is reserved for a tribe that doesn't believe in God or Jesus Christ? Why would he support generation after generation of pagans that do not know the love of Jesus??

Ho:14:9: Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
Strikes me that God is ineffable, and as such, who is to say whether the Kakapo is useful or not. In 100 years time, we may find that squeezing the juice out of Kakapos is the perfect cure for foot fungus or some other disease.
Amen

But what of all the animals that have become extinct? they might have been able to cure things that we are infected by now. and isn't disease just God's way of punishing sinners, so if we cure something by means of medicine, take for example, curing foot fungus from the juice of a kakapo bird, wouldn't you be playing God? and if it is punishment, why would he give us a cure for something that could be used by anyone?
and just as a random question, are all the people with the True Christian titles employees of the LBC??

Goodness Stranger, your writing does you no favors. Animals that have become extinct have clearly cured all the diseases that they were supposed to, and, the diseases being extinct, the animals are too.
Disease is indeed God’s way of punishing sinners or, in the case of Job, just seeing what Job would do.
To suggest that any member of the congregation of Landover Baptist Church would “play God” is near libellous.
The question is also stupid. If God gave us the Kakapo to cure foot fungus, what are we going to do? Throw the gift back in his face?
A cure is a cure. The True Christian™ does not mind that Unsaved Trash™ such as yourself gets cured. All we ask is that you consider Who gave you the disease and why. And then Who gave the True Christian™ the cure to cure you. This way, if you have any sliver of goodness in you at all, which I doubt, you will Praise God from your heart and turn from your vile ways.
Should you fail, I see no reason to give you a second chance.
And, a random answer, “No.”
Amen

Toilet paper! Toilet paper is my favorite part of creation. Why just last Sunday, our pastor, Billy Ray, was telling his goats...errr...sheep during the sermon that in the beginning, about 10,000 years ago when the lord created the earth and all things living, the Pagans were using the Bible as toilet paper but then, god created Charmin...Ah, the lord does work in miraculous ways indeed!

10,000 years ago? What kind of a heretic are you, sinner?

but the only disease that has been eradicated from the earth is smallpox, so doesn't that mean, by using your logic, that only one species should become extinct?
I am not suggesting that a LBC member would consider 'playing God' by curing a disease, but since a disease is God's punishment for sinners, how do you explain why he even gave us a cure for something that can be used? Why would he even give us the opportunity to cure His punishment on us?
and could i possibly see a list of all the cures/medicines that True Christians have developed?
