Did you know that every color that has ever been thought of, ever manufactured, can be made with four colors: the three primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and white. Pink is simply red and white. Green is blue and yellow. Orange is red and yellow. To get brown you mix orange and red. Blue, green, and brown mixes into black. White and black make gray. Every color of the rainbow is a variation of these four colors. Every variation of gamma rays is a variation of these colors.
The normal strand of human DNA carries the genes for over a billion different combination for hair color, skin color, eye color, height, weight, temperament, ear shape, even eyelash length. Just as the four colors combine into limitless numbers of color, so, too, can the DNA erupt into a billion different possibilities for a human life.
Four different colors. One tiny strand of information. How can information such as this just evolve out of nothing?
I believe in a Creator. I believe in One Supreme Being who shaped our earth into what it is. I believe that He created our world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. This is a basic belief for me. And it's not hard to believe it when I look around.
This Earth is far too grand to have been shaped by anything other than the Maker. There are hidden gems and fascinating discoveries that point to creation by design. The way that the Earth is in the perfect spot to support life, the different layers of the atmosphere that ensure that we aren't burned by the sun. The uniqueness of every fingerprint. For me, it all points to a God who created me, who loves me so much He's given me an entire world to explore.
The next time you see a sunset, a flower, a new animal, think of how it was made. The thought that went into it. Think of its' DNA and the billions of possibilities that it has. Then remember how easy it is to forget that there is something grander than ourselves, that our lives end far too quickly, but that there is something waiting after that means so much more than we can possibly imagine.
