"It was you, then, O Lord, who made them, You who are beautiful, for they too are beautiful; You who are good, for they too are good; You who ARE, for they too are. But they are not beautiful and good as You are beautiful and good, nor do they have their being as You, their Creator, have Your being. In comparison with You they have neither beauty nor goodness nor being at all. This we know, and thanks be to You for this knowledge. But our knowledge, compared with Yours, is ignorance."
The appreciation of beauty is not some inherited evolutionary trait selected to ensure we eat plants that are safe and mate to continue the species. Beauty observed in the world we live in is a reflection, albeit a dim one, of the beauty that emanates from the God of Creation. Any goodness we experience or witness or receive exists because God is good. And obviously, the wisest among us is a simpleton compared to the only wise God.
The wise and scholarly of this age champion evolution, encourage abortion and worship what has been created instead of the Creator. But Paul says in 1 Corinthians that God will frustrate and shame this so-called "wisdom".
Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1 Corinthians 1:20
I can't help but rejoice that my God is the ultimate in beauty, goodness and wisdom. Soli Deo gloria!
