Think About This: Beauty by Chance or by Design?
Check out the photo accompanying this post. It’s a shot of a neighbor’s recent creation after a lot of thought, planning, choices and work. As it happens, I absolutely love Spring because it brings Azelias and Tulips.
Can chance explain such order and beauty?
But I took this photo specifically to display here on HillFaith because of a truth it beautifully illustrates: When we see order in the world around us, especially when it produces a scene that appeals to our sense of appreciation for beauty, the logical inference is that somebody created it.
It’s the classic argument for the existence of God: The logical inference is that design requires a designer. The alternative is that the design is entirely the product of a chance combination of material elements entirely apart from anybody’s influence.
So here are some questions to ponder: Does the presence of design and beauty signify the choices of a designer or the random result of chance? Which alternative produces the kind of world you see around you?
