And God Said It Was Good
The fact that humans recognize beauty seems to me to give proof of God. If there is no God, beauty is just a random accident. If there is no God there is no more value in beauty than in ugliness. The Bible takes a subjective moral perspective on the natural material world. The Bible says God created the material world and it was “good”.
Even the unbeliever has the desire to leave the ugly cities made by men to be refreshed in Gods sublime creation. Who can look at God’s sunrises, sunsets, rainbows, rivers, waterfalls, mountains, flowers, and crystals and say they are not beautiful? If God’s creation was not good, why would it refresh the unbeliever?
Why do so many unbelievers worship the creation? They worship the creation because they recognize it as good and beautiful. But, if the creation was a product of random selection over millions of years, and was not designed, then it ought not to be “good” or beautiful or even orderly. But, since we DO see beauty and order in the universe we should also see God in it.
