I love to see the handy work of God like that! However, I am always brought back to Pascal and C.S. Lewis who note that those who do not believe in God are very rarely persuaded by the argument from design. C.S. Lewis said in The Problem of Pain (and I am paraphrasing) that the when he looked at nature, all he saw was Chaos and that it was further proof to him that God did not exist (at least when he was an Atheist). Great pictures though! God is Good. Great pictures. I love to see the handy work of God like that! However, I am always brought back to Pascal and C.S.

But the scriptures say "The heavens declare the glory of God" and so we can see God in his creation, particularly the stars. THere are many amazing things about the stars. Their motion is not at all random for instance but they are an incredible clock that can be tracked throughout the ages. We know that God has used the heavens to time his events. Certainly the Star of Bethlehem is one example of this. What was the star? There has been much speculation. An excellent theory is by a former Lawyer named Eric Larson. This amazging story can be found here. http://www.bethlehemstar.net/ It is also quite amazing that the tilma on the virgin of Guadalupe contains the constellations as they would have been the very night that Juan Diego would have gone to the Bishop, Dec 12, 1531, with it full of roses that were completely out of seaons for that time of year. http://www.holyhillcross.com/EYES%20OF%20OUR%20LADY%20NEW.html There are other examples that Mr. Larson discusses in his vidoe.
