Intelligent Design

This is the kind of picture that makes you believe in God. No painter painted this. No company manufactured the colors. This is just the design of nature. On days like today, I am so happy to see evidence of intelligent design in my dumb disorganized life.

If there were no God, would such beauty exist? It's just seems when the idiomatic "man" is left to his own devices, ugliness and dirtiness prevail. If the world were merely an accident, would it all "go" together so well? From the perfect, heart-shaped petals of the phlox, to the deep grape of the dianthus and the barely-there, light orange dot on the butterflies back, it's all just so perfectly created. Who would spend the time in such aesthetically pleasing details? God would, that's who. Amen to that.
