Thanks to my friend Jim again for the pictures: a cardinal, a chickadee, a blue jay, and a __________?

If you observe, then study, then contemplate the intricacies of these creatures, how could any intellectually honest person ascribe these–and all things–to chance, to matter in motion, to flotsam and jetsam adrift on waves of randomness?

Um, nope.

Scripture says that we all know God is the Author and that God is the Creator and that God is the One we are to revere: “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse” (Romans 1:20, ESV).

The book of creatures (creation) is designed to point us to the Book of the Creator (Scripture) and to the Author of life (God himself).
