Something We Take for Granted

This picture I took takes my breathe away every time. I know people have visited the moon and gone to outerspace...but that is not what takes my breathe away. Recently in bible study we watched the video, "Case for a Creator" I think is what it was called and it made so many great points. All of this led to me thinking, "do we take for granted the perfection of how God created the Earth and the Universe??"

With the moon, and essentially the placement of the earth in our solar system just amazes me. The way the moon is placed in the Earth's gravitational pull is perfect. Just millimeters closer and the moon would collide with the Earth. Just millimeters farther and the Earth's gravitational pull would not be strong enough to keep ahold of it. Same with the gravitational pull of the moon. It was placed so precisely that we have ocean tides. Its phases are essential to the way our calendar works...why would we base our calendars on it if it wasn't precise? As soon as I hear these facts I think, shoot how could someone not see there is at least one ultimate creator? Then, there is the placement of the Earth in proximity to our Sun. Just a little bit closer and we would be a hot planet like Mar or Venus and not be able to retain life. Just a little bitter farther away and our planet would freeze. The placement of our planet in the solar system is just the beginning to why the Earth is the only planet with life. Just with the science you can prove there is a creator

God as the Creator...
Just how God created the heavens and the earth. How He separated the water from the dry land. He created, molded and placed the animals of the land, sea and sky. How He brought the dirt together to mold and shape a human being. Do we take for granted all of these things? I hope not...I hope we take advantage and show others through us (His creation also) and through the world around us there is a God.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
