Natural wonders as evidence of a specific Creator?

Considering how some of the most popular religions have this god that is extremely insecure and would punish its followers for even entertaining the idea that another being or cause could be the creator, I can see how people would do this. WHY they accept such irrational beliefs is an interesting question, as any idea one comes up with, whether it's god, or aliens, or whatever has exactly the same amount of evidence. I wish more people would simply be honest and say "We don't know. We can't know right now, and to say we do know would be a lie." Nothing is more aggravating than those who claim to have truth but have zero evidence to support it with. Of course, one could say "This is what I believe," and that's fine. But saying "This is how it is and you are wrong if you believe otherwise" is nothing short of insanity.

all things in the nature are beautiful in their own way..you can say if you want there is some power n stuff...but i believe mother nature is so beautiful that all its creations are also great... its all science..the way it happens... no power as such... a flower looks beautiful because u like it...u like the way the petals hang around their bud...

The question is that every little humen group in the past has tried to give explanations for things they couldn't explain. The easiest way to explian something was one or more supernatural creators, so they started adoring the Mother Goddess, and every little group in the time has modified that beliefs giving different names, different genders, different forms. Religion has born just to explain the unexplainable. Now we have science, we have logic, we have proofs. I can see no signature behind a flower with written on "March 2007, God". If you find it, could you send me a photo?

I do agree when one looks at such wonders many think of what an astounding accompliment of our Creator. However just because we believe this was something created by a higher power it does not give evidence as to which higher power it is. Personally I don't think it matters what name we call them by they are all the same just how we decide to perceive them but for some the name is very important and they will argue and fight in legnth on it. To me this is foolish. There is no way to prove which God created what. When I look at Mammoth Cave yes I see something at work there that is greater then myself but to try and state which god it was would be a bit of a stretch. I wasn't there when it was created, I wasn't privy to the inner workings of the gods to know which one might have performed this particular creation. The problem comes in that so many feel that their creator is the only creator, that to believe other wise is wrong if not cause for being condemned. Personally I think it's a shame that they have to be that closed minded. That they cannot accept others as they are and for what they believe in. That they cannot allow others to follow their own path just as they would like to. It is impossible to prove faith. By it's very difinition it defies being proved. Faith: A Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. So to try and prove that one is the true creator is not possible. They don't want to hear but it's true. All we can do is go by what we believe and to allow others the right to believe as they want without us trying to convert them.

Believing in God and different gods for that matter is a great point of argument. The thing is if we believe in one Almighty God, we just have to stick to that belief and do good things. Because as long as we're doing good things and not harming anybody we're giving good justification to what we believe in.

I think natural selection and plate tectonics provide a logical explanation. Don't get wrong, I do believe in some type of higher power but no necessarily a creator. I choose not to mix science and religion in my heaf. It does not compute.

as for me, i do agree that.. everything we have, everything people thought of doing was because God gave us the knowledge and all the natural wonders... are because there is a divine power.

well there are endless things like this and so the endless discussions about it.

Being surrounded by all of you, I see the beauty around me. Questions about how to find the truth, and where that truth can be found lead me to think about he Stargazer Lilly, how was that flower created? I was listening to Radio times and a show was done on this particular subject. I should look up the show from the archives and provide a link. What I learned was that a man crossed different flowers to come up with the final product what we see today, the creator was a man. He didn't earn much from his creation because he couldn't access the market and profit from his love. That broke my heart when I heard about his struggle to profit from his hobby turned business venture and couldn't get the business off of the ground. It is a story I am all too well familiar with. I know what it is like to try and do something doing all the right things and not being able to get the system to work. The danger is that we become slaves to the system. Is it better to stop now or just take one more step, I might find tha elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if I just persevere. The question who and what is the force that drives us on for one more minute one more day? Just another hour, and I'll be on my way... Maybe another year? Hope is another force, hanging in to bring people together and understand with new eyes and ears... GOD's grace a blessing. We live, Love, me

We are surrounded by natural beauty. When I see the beauty of a sunset I understand that this beauty is a result of the angle of the sun and the refraction of light through dust and water particles in the air. This understanding takes nothing from the beauty of the sunset. I can perceive beauty based on natural phonomena and do not need a supernatural being to explain it. Why complicate things when a simple an understandable explanation exists?

there are some things which cannot be explained in scientific terms and i think we have to look for the higher powers for an answer.

Hi, You are right, we should't argue but; you are missing the real issue. There is an elephant in the room; ETERNITY. If your "personal faith" is in something that doesn't agree with God, nature or not; you are going to spend forever and ever separated from God....so what we need "prove" is which God is the real one? Then we will know the author of nature. 1 Cor. 8:6 John 1:1-17 countdown21.com

*shrugs* folks are weird.. Makes me glad that my beliefs don't necessarily clash in my views, with any other religion..just differ slightly. Humanity's pride I guess. Always wanting to believe what they consider THE truth, believe in the BEST diety or deities. It's rather silly..and if they're reaching for enlightenment how the heck do they think they're going to manage it whilst trying to prove they're better than anyone else? Don't get me wrong, I'm one ofthose folks who has to prove a point where it comes to beliefs, but I won't force them down my throat..I'm mostly just trying to back up what I believe..prove it myself. If more folks research and back up their beliefs with actual facts -- kudos, you know? I wish more'd do it..but if they're just gonna be strutting around claiming they know THE truth not A part of the greater truth(s), that they're better than everyone else..psft, let them.. "Men often stumble onto the truth, but most get up, dust themselves off, and carry on their way as if nothing happened."
