Good morning all
Hi Cos
"Watch nature, observe, understand and learn."
Part of what is called general revelation deals with exactly that, the created order of all things. I make pots out of clay. If you looked at one of them you could tell quite a bit about me (not everything, but some things). for instance. One thing that you can tell right away is that my pots were made by someone, you can see my fingerprints in the clay. They exhibit order and design. Another thing you can tell, is that I like to make big pots. In order to make big pots you have to have a certain degree of strength. So then you could look at one of my pots and then deduce that it was made(created) by someone, (personal) who designed it, (orderly and logically)and must have been strong enough (powerful) to accomplish the task in the first place. All this from an inanimate piece of mud!! Now if this pot were also sentient, then we could also tell something about it maker by the way it behaved. In other words does it exhibit a sense of morality
So lets apply this to nature as we "observe, understand and learn"
I look at nature and I see that it also appears to also be made by someone who is PERSONAL, POWERFUL, LOGICAL, and MORAL. At the end of all that if you flip the thing over you will discover that it has been signed by the Artist (formerly known as God). That would be the Bible.
If this seems like it is irrational then I'm not sure why. What do you think?
