Mr. Dawkins vs Creation

As I stated before in an earlier blog I watched Expelled. A documentary done by Ben Stein about how the scientific community is suppressing free thought by attacking intelligent design studies. In this documentary Ben interviews Richard Dawkins. A conversation that they had is haunting me. Here is the basic discussion paraphrased.

Ben- Richard, let's say you were to die today and then you come to find out that there is a God. What will you have to say for a life devoted to disproving and denying Him?

Richard- Simple. I would ask Him why He made it so difficult to know Him. Why did He live in secret and desire us to use blind faith?

Actually, I think Richard will not be able to speak when He meets His maker. The knowledge and regret will hit him like a cannon ball. He will know that all creation actually sings the praises of God. Richard will be fully aware that he defied a living God who is not some distant thought. He will see a God who took on the flesh of man just to reach out to us. Richard will be floored. He will see that his calloused heart and pride were the tools that made him blind.

So I have decided to test these scriptural proclamations of creation groaning by witnessing God in the earth. I don't want to just lean on bible verses that I have quoted for my whole life. I am not really coming before God's creation as a skeptic. I know I will experience Him in nature. I have already done so. I just want to be more observant and expectant now. I have decided to take more walks in nature and purposely look for ways that God is speaking. When God said the land is groaning what does that actually look like? There are some evidences that I have already witnessed. Obviously the vastness of the universe is one declaration. The complex balances of sustaining life is another. Then there is the fact that no scientist has honestly come up with an alternate way the world was created. They don't know that answer.

Yesterday as I was taking my first focused walk I saw a bird pick up a cheese puff ball. What could that mean? :)
