Evidence Of God's Hand



Have you noticed how animals have no teacher, yet they do things according to their kinds? They somehow find mates, reproduce, raise young, and further their specie. This has been scientifically called 'instinct,' but I don't think this word and its definition properly brings understanding to the phenomenon.

Does making up a word calling something such bring adequate understanding? We can rationalize that the animal has a certain program within it. We don't 'see' how this program comes to be, but we can recognize the patterns.

Why do most penguins mate for life (have monogamous relations)? From a human's perspective, we call it monogamy. Who 'taught' them to choose and keep fidelity with a single mate? Is it because they can't fly and get away from their mate like other birds can? Are other species of birds promiscuous because they can fly away and do things in secret? Of course, these are questions in jest, but how else do we speak of the surrounding world if not from the human perspective? Yet the world is not humane, we are.

Why do ants work diligently? Why one queen at a time? Does mankind imitate ants or ants the human? Where does this order come from? Look at a pride of lions and the order among them. Only one male lion per pride, per area. The lion king has a harem, and his offspring are exclusively his. When a stronger lion challenges his kingship and overcomes, a new lion king is recognized and the harem and future progeny goes to him. We see this same pattern with men in history.

Who is the Author of such observations? Is it all chance? Has order come from chaos?

Or has order always been but men decide to dismiss the evidence of God's hand? Yes.
