Stealing Creation

Quotes and comments;

1. 'A fourth objection has reference to beauty. According to
Mr. Darwin, flowers are not intentionally made beautiful, but those which happen to be beautiful attract insects, and by their agency are fertilized and survive.' [1.]

- It's plain to me that ideas like these are designed with the purpose of stealing the creation away from human beings. God created the world as a gift to mankind, designed it as a home for man; not only for utilitarian purposes, but for beauty. (How often God, through the words penned by the prophets, praises the beauty of creation. In these passages we see God (the Father), praising the work done by the Son and the Spirit.) Men like Charles Darwin, lost in a sad bitterness, try to steal that beauty away from us; and not even give the credit to demons or to men, but to nothing... to mere random chance. The perversity of this is great. [Men are instructed to praise God for His glorious works, but man-the-rebel wants all glory for himself, even if this means stealing the glory that belongs to God.]

- The message of the Bible is clear; God designed the world to be beautiful. It was made beautiful not for the sake of flowers (give me a break) but for the sake of God's image man. (Would God, one of whose names is Beautiful, not make a beautiful world? Being true to his character, he could not but make a beautiful world. Would the Son create for the Father a world that was not beautiful?)

- Materialists like to mock Christians for giving God the credit for all things, but they themselves want to give mere matter the credit for all things. The absurdity of it boggles the mind. (And now, now that the great 'hero' man man has 'emerged' on the scene, they want to give man the credit for all things. Well, take your pick I guess.)

Notes;
1. 'What is Darwinism?' - Charles Hodge/1878/p. 111 [A great book, one I recommend highly.]
2. "He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. - Ecclesiastes 3:11
3. In Genesis God declares the creation very good. The idea the beauty of the earth came about by a random series of chemical accidents is as stupid a belch as any man has ever delivered himself. (You see in statements like this, how the hatred of God leads man to make preposterous statements, how it guides and warps his thinking.)
