I\u2019m really good at boggling my own brain. I\u2019ll look at my feet as I\u2019m walking and go, \u201cWhoa, my feet move, and I don\u2019t even have to try!\u201d Or I\u2019ll twist my brain up into a pretzel thinking about thinking. Thinking is weird. Our brains are so fast!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I\u2019ll just sit and marvel at how God made us. It\u2019s really bizarre, the way our bodies work. It\u2019s beautiful, but crazy. I have little lightening-fast braincells running around right now telling my fingers how and where to hit the keyboard. It\u2019s so weird!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, now my brain is boggled all over again\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s sometimes \u201cfun\u201d to sit and ponder the many intricacies of our bodies, how perfectly God designed us to function. It\u2019s a mystery I will never fully understand. I also strongly dislike science, so I maybe could have some answers, but won\u2019t because I don\u2019t particularly like that area of learning\u2026 But even so, there are parts of us that even research won\u2019t explain. Like the appendix. What even is it? And tonsils, honestly. Do those have a purpose? I don\u2019t even know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, a quick google search says they are part of the immune system. But still. It sometimes seems so random, but not, at the same time. With these sorts of mind-bending things in life, I\u2019ve never understood how it works to think we came from monkeys. Or from a random explosion. Everything is so perfect, I don\u2019t see how it\u2019s possible! Once again, I am no scientist, but to me, it seems like the only logical solution to say, with such detailed and specific things in our world, something must have created them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve never doubted God\u2019s existence. But creation, the marvels of earth, convince me even further of His reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, it\u2019s just fun to think of God deciding to create armadillos. When I am world-building, I have fun making up the random little things like chork or r\u00f4w\u00e9s; how much more fun would it be to design whole ecosystems? I think anyone with artistic tendencies can relate to such questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I think creation is amazing. And God is even more amazing for thinking it all up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
