On nature,beauty and God

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere - Vincent van Gogh. I find this so true . But the creation and its exquisite design is by no means an accident. It's beauty and and wonder reflects the beauty and majesty of it's creator -God. Every single thing from the smallest to the biggest on close examination had a specific purpose. Each individual here on earth has a purpose and meaning, they all reflect the glory and wisdom of God. The smallest instance is the joy you derive just watching the sunset gives joy and glory to God it's creator. I see God everywhere in the sunrise and sunset, in the rivulets and seas and in the mountains and ranges and I feel Him in the wind and and breezes. For me therein lies the meaning of life. Existentialist says we have to create our own meaning to life but I find meaning in life itself.

The fly, Apocephalus borealis, lays up to a dozen eggs in bee workers. Its grubs eventually eat the bees from the inside-out. And the infected workers abandon their hives to die. There are hundreds of species of Apocephalus flies, and they're best known for decapitating ants from the inside. Such beauty in nature...😒

@Richard65 It's not a perfect world I agree, the Bible tells us that we live in a fallen. Inspite of it all you can deny it's beauty. Like those bees we humans are vulnerable to death and circumstances of life, yet I still believe in the beauty of life.

@Richard65 you said the design is exquisite and it's no accident. So God created a fly that eats a bee from the inside. That's so horrific, why would God design such an insect? Why engineer such a painful, appalling death for a bee, which pollinates the earth's flora?

@Richard65 @Richard65 lol indeed. The fly has become the predator here, interesting humans too have diseases that eats them away ,signs of a fallen nature of creation. Inspite of it all I place all things in the infinite wisdom of God.
