I love nature!! I think that there is nothing cooler than all the different things that God has made. My favorite thing to look at and take pictures of is the sky! Anywhere and at anytime, if there is a beautiful sky outside, you can find me taking pictures of it. The picture to the left is actually a picture I took one night in Florida. One of my favorite things about Florida is the skies. The skies here are soo beautiful compared to New York (where I am from). Over the summer, I really missed walking outside from dinner and looking over the lake and seeing these amazing colors that are not something you see everyday! Seeing all these amazing things that God has created, I don't understand how someone can not think that there is a God. How could someone think that the trees, water, animals, humans, the different and unique flowers, and complex brain of an ant- how could someone think that that came from a big bang or evolution!? It just does not make sense in my mind. I feel so sorry for them and the fact that people are so blinded by their own brains. The poem that we read in class about nature was making me mad because of this. I felt like the author was really into nature and everything but they did not know where it came from. They kept talking about evolution so how can you really appreciate nature when you don't understand where it came from and who made it. It really saddens me and I really just want to shake it in them how dumb they are.

Heather, you might want to consider that some people who believe in evolution are actually extremely brilliant. Also, it happens to be that there are a lot of people who are Christians who believe in evolution.
ReplyDeleteObviously I am not saying that you should therefore believe in evolution--that't not my point at all!--but what I am saying is that you might want at least realize that perhaps you are oversimplifying the category of, to use your words, those who "don't understand where [nature] came from and who made it."
Getting mad at them and thinking that they are dumb might not be the best way to connect with people or love them.
