God gettin' the credit (kind of)
/
I want to share a story from Monday's News & Observer with y'all. (And a quick note to commenters: if you refer to it as the News & Disturber, I'll consider your comment immature and cliche. Just saying.) It's title? Duke research credits nature with inventing the wheel. Basically, this guy Adrian Bejan - a professor of mechanical engineering at Dook (yep, when I do it, it's not immature or cliche, 'cause it's my blog. so there. insert childish tongue noise here.) - has determined that man didn't actually create the wheel. We just stole borrowed the idea from its design in nature.
Which leads to the obvious question: If there's a design, wouldn't there also be a designer? A Creator?
The article gives nature the credit, but it's the God of heaven and earth who did it. The article talks about "a theory unifying design in nature and design in engineering." The Bible tells us of God's creativity and purpose.
I couldn't help but praise God for His perfect plan and design in all things as I read the article on Monday and as a re-read it a moment ago. To paraphrase Matthew 6:30 for this situation, if He cares enough to reveal to us the design for the wheel in nature, how much more does He desire to shine His light on the deep and hidden things in each of our own lives?
