Beauty versus Evolution

It happened yesterday morning. The sun had risen in the East and directly opposite of it was the moon setting in the West. They were perfectly facing each other. For me, this is one of the most sublime moments to experience in the natural world. It's just so cool.

Have you ever considered that the sun and the moon appear to be the same size in the sky? Well, they do take up approximately (almost exactly) the same amount of space in our field of vision. Although the sun is about 400 times the diameter of the moon, it is also about 400 times farther away from earth than the moon. Pretty nifty.

I don't believe in evolution. I believe science actually proves the impossibility of it. Now, we must not confuse evolution with natural selection. Certainly natural selection occurs and is observable. Certainly minute changes can and do occur within species. However, so much in science militates against macro-evolution, e.g., whales slowly turning into land dwelling creatures and vice versa. From DNA to the laws of physics to the idea of irreducible complexity to observable evidence, the facts seem clear that Darwinian evolution is nothing but pseudo-scientific shenanigans. But I am beginning to digress.

The existence of "beauty" is great evidence for a Creator. Read the quote below at least twice and really think about it:

Beauty is pervasive in the natural world, from subatomic particles to crystals to biochemical pathways to butterflies to tropical jungles to the planets to the universe.
If beauty were the result of chance, it would be extremely rare.
If beauty were the result of necessity, why would we be soothed by bird songs used to attract mates, establish territories, and threaten enemies?
It seems reasonable to assume that we appreciate the beauty in nature because we have a mind patterned after the intelligence that is responsible for the beauty.

I might add (and will) that such an abstract concept as "beauty" would have no sensible place in an evolutionary universe.

In a sense, beauty is truth, or perhaps more appropriately, beauty reveals truth. Of course, the ultimate source of truth and beauty is Christ.

Colossians 1:15-17

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Solus Christus!
