Evidence Out of Thin Air!

Back to school! Isn't it great? Well anyways, why do you think I named the title the way I did? Think about it! We spend hours in our rooms brainstorming evidence for a creator when actually, the evidence already surrounds us. I have a good picture:

 Have you ever been on the beach? Well, even if you haven't, you still know what it is like. Relaxing on the sand, tanning in the warm sun or splashing around in the water...aahhhhhhh! Now, FREEZE! You have some evidence right in front of you! You're thinking, "Evidence in relaxing on a beach! Weeeerd." But no. Have you ever thought what it would be like sitting on the sand with the sun burning off your skin instead of a nice tan? Probably not. You see, it's like this:

The sun, our star provides us with heat and light. Isn't that great? Well, it also beams down some other nasty stuff, also. That "nasty stuff" is ultraviolet rays that travel from the sun to earth. These rays can kill skin cells faster than you can replace them! So how are we still alive? Because of God's wonderful care, to make sure to put a shield in the air to protect us! This special shield is called the ozone filter. Ozone is made of oxygen atoms. When the ultraviolet rays fly toward us, they are met by the ozone. The energy of the rays blows up the ozone, greatly reducing the amount of rays that touch the ground. But, even though the filter saves our lives, it doesn't completely remove the rays. That is why, if you are foolish enough to go into the hot sun without sunscreen, you will get a sun burn.

So you're thinking, "WOW. Crazy good evidence, right?" Well, yes, it is! This is just a teeny weeny part of creation. There are thousands, if not millions of aspects, that if any one was altered, life would be impossible. Do you understand my title know? (and the pun!) And I'll mention just one more thing about God's great design. You're laying on the beach. You will probably sweat. Our cooling system, or sweating is amazing. When you sweat, the energy of the heat evaporates the sweat cooling your skin! And so it just happened that, one day a monkey said, "AH-AH-OO-OO! I'm sweating somehow!" Is THIS the way you want to see yourself? An animal, who just lives a useless life, then dies. God made us in HIS image. Yes, he designed animals in marvelous ways, but he created, named, and knew you before you were born!

I hope you enjoyed this, and I hope it gave you some food for thought. If you have any questions, feel free to comment, and have a nice time!
