A sign at this year’s Vacation Bible School, said “God Made You for a Reason.” Our Creator-God made a lot of things, most of which are too complicated for us to understand.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Consider a rainbow. Yes, we can explain the science behind it. We know all about light shining through water droplets, wavelengths, white light, color light, diffusion. Yes- we can explain why we see rainbows. And so- to the “modern mind”- God’s explanation in Genesis 9:13-15<\/span><\/a> seems too simple (some might even say “superstitious”).

We might be tempted to think that this is just a story that someone made up because they didn’t understand the science behind it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

But- did it have to happen that way? Did they have to be so beautiful? Why do rainbows inspire wonder?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Humans… we know the science and biology that explains “where babies come from.” But did reproduction have to come from such a beautiful act of love? Do kids have to be so cute???<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
