Nature reveals the Wisdom of God!

Being a nature lover made me realize how "coincidentally" perfect nature is. I grew up in a religious family, but not your ordinary mainstream religious family. The religion my parents adhere to uses logic and reason in their beliefs. Unlike most modern-day religions which focus on the "ritualistic" and traditional side of their respective liturgies, the Church of God International is a virtual theology university as their members receive new lessons regarding Biblical truth every service. Biblical topics range from the mystery of the death of Christ to the mystery of prayers done in secret. 

Anyway, after reading an article on how wasps disinfect cockroaches before devouring them. My interest in nature sparked once more! Once again, this shows that even the most  hated "useless" creatures of nature is important for a perfectly balanced ecosystem. Then I remembered an article I read in Scientific American, which discusses the importance of a balanced bacterial ecosystem in our body. See that? Even many species of bacteria, stereotyped to be the bad guys of the world, are useful. The same scientific article admitted that too much use of antibiotics literally wiped out this delicate ecological balance, weakening mankind's own immune system. Man's inferior knowledge of this fact ultimately led to the weakening of his own immune system. More examples of mankind's foolishness led to the extinction of the dodo bird, the depletion of wild rhino populations, the destruction of natural habitat for "development" (f*ck development!) Listening to the wisdom of God would have prevented similar catastrophes:

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (1 Tim 4:4 KJV)

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31, emphasis added)


I wish to expound more on this topic but I have little time today. But here's a final question: Do you think God specifically designed some of the beautiful creatures of this world? After seeing this gallery, I think so.
