I flew over the Grand Canyon on Monday on my way back home to Orlando. A choice few of you saw the pictures I took from the plane of this majestic sight carved out by the Lord.
How can anyone in their right mind....look at something as massive and beautiful as the Grand Canyon and say to themselves, "Oh yeah.....evolution did this"
It's just not possible...........God did this.......and nothing else.

Yes, when I saw the tips of the alps flying over Switzerland, {I was in a plane flying over the alps...not the alps doing the flying.} seeing the Aurora boreals in Alaska. Everytime I look at the stars, I am in awe of God's creation...and then I see my adorable nephew who is almost 2 and I'm in awe yet again. God is GOOD!
Edit....I saw someone else say they were in awe of their children saved from Abortion. I too am in awe of that...One of my nieces was almost aborted and today has a beautiful son of her own. How awesome that God made a way of escape and they have a chance now to serve Him.

Yeah - I had the privelege of seeing the Grand Canyon once from the air. Totally amazing!!! I've seen a lot of scenery, but that was one of the best (I've seen Niagara Falls, it was better) God's majesty is definitely revealed in these wonders.
I've heard it was made as the waters of the great flood receded, quickly, not over millions of years. They found similar layering effects after Mt. St. Helens, (I'm not remembering it very clearly, it was years ago - and I heard it second hand), but I guess the mud slides layered up in a way that in other places they would read it and say it took millions of years, but since it just happened, we saw that it only took a few days. In that, they concluded that the Grand Canyon could've been created the same way, quickly because of it's similar appearance.

Evolution is concerned with life, your thinking of erosion. But alas, that is beside the point. Have you ever stood in the slums of God's creation? One could go to an impovrished area of Africa where people suffer form AID's outbreak on a regular basis and it'd be quite reasonable for them to say "Why would a loving God do this? Cause so much suffering?" So while I can appriceate the majesty of amazing sights, I can't logically use that as an excuse for God's existance, thats an entirely emotional arguement.
And beyond that, I also take issue with the way you assume its YOUR God. You really have no proof, no Christian, Muslim, Jew, Satanic or Jedi has. I mean, one can put forward an arguement that there might possibly be some kind of infinite creative force that might have possibly created the Universe. I don't see how you an then take then and jump straight ot the conclusion that its God X or Goddess Y.

this is no longer purely scientists who've envisioned the doomsday. non secular human beings of distinctive faiths and backgrounds even have confidence comparable. no longer purely that yet we've particularly some people who're religiously prone and yet are theists. So, you do no longer could desire to be a scientist to assert there is not any God. Infact, many atheists are actually not scientists yet then returned I desire to characteristic that in the time of all of the scripture books there is sufficient data to point the undeniable fact that the international is gradually grinding to a end. in spite of the indisputable fact that, no individual can tell whilst it might ensue.The writing is, in spite of the indisputable fact that, on the wall the undeniable fact that the 5 aspects particularly:air, water, earth, hearth and ether have all alongside been rehearsing their techniques in the direction of the purely astounding day.purely take a seem around you and this is obvious that organic failures have had a container day. those are warning signs of the doomsday.this is lurking on the nook and able to strike on the least threat.

Yes, the Grand Canyon is majestically spectacular! I could never look at something so beautiful and grandiose and say God was not behind it. I see God's beauty in so much of His creation! Yes I stood in amazement of watching the snow fall, it would fall lightly and VERY gracefully...then it would pick up and the flakes would get very big and they would twist and tumble through the air-- as if they were dancing! It is so beautiful to see the work of God's hands! But the most amazing time I have standing in front of God's creation is when I hear the thunder and see the lightning....I LOVE it! I love to hear the voice of the Lord! As the Bible describes that His voice is in the thunder-- especially in the book of Job.
God is so amazing, and so wonderful and I will always stand in awe of Him!
Psalm 27:4
One thing have I asked of the LORD,that will I seek after:that I may dwell in the house of the LORDall the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the LORDand to inquire in his temple.

THe look of great Canyon isnt living things, is not evoltion. You should had used natural or random factor, other than term as evolution.
Things that are natural and beautiful can be the inspiration for people to believe in greater will, but its only inspiration. You cant say this is beautiful, therefore God exist. Just like you cant say this is ugly, therefore devil exist.
In the end standard of beauty is mere feeling share by many, and individuals have different standards in beauty.

How could anyone look at the diversity of life and still consider evolution. I might could see it if indeed everything was the same. If everything was just functional. But when they talk of "survival of the fittest" What is fit about a butterfly, a calla Lilly, or a orange tree? the best I can tell between the changes in climate over the billions and billions of years, the multitude of volcanic eruptions, disease, droughts, floods, most life on earth should be null and void. I suppose that if you can convince yourself that everything is just by chance you can sleep better at night thinking there will be no reckoning for our actions, But as Paul wrote, All creation know that there is a creator, there will be no excuses.

God created the Sunrise glowing on the vast horizon, casting it wonderous glowing on the land and through the trees. Looking at sillouttes (SP?) is just amazing. The yellow butterflies drinking from a pink flower and then dances through the sky. The lovely song from a bird in a tree. These are just a few of God's wonderous views of life. Some people are just too busy to stop and really look.

I was totally overwhelmed by the beauty and power of Gods creation when I stood at the railing around Niagara Falls and felt the power of those millions of gallons of water flowing over the falls. I also feel the power of God when I watch a thunderstorm building and feel the force of the wind and rain pouring down. The beauty of the night sky full of stars, a bunch of butterflies hovering and landing on a plant covered with flowers, or watching a sunrise will also give me a feeling of Gods presence.

I don't believe in God, but every now and then I stop and have a look around and think about how beautiful the world is.
Well, that's not really true these days
...I would do that if I could do that, normally I just stand and look around and think about how smelly and noisy London is and wonder what I am doing here.
