What a wonderful world this would be if all of mankind would just follow the laws — both the laws of God and the laws of mankind.

God’s laws first, of course, because man is subject to making errors that are not the best for him. Man’s laws must agree with God’s laws — the basis of all good laws — inscribed on the stone tablets bearing the Ten Commandments given to Moses to bring down the mountain for the people of Israel in exile.

I wonder at people who deny God’s existence.

It’s true, they cannot see God in physical form so, to them, He doesn’t exist. They can’t seem to believe in a tremendous power that controls all that we call nature.

People who live in cities see little of nature and the multiple miracles of nature that surround us. They see man-made things while the miracles of God are seen only by the results of His works.

I hear people say they don’t believe in God or of a supreme or superior power, I wonder whether these people ever think of the chaos there would be if some unknown power or being hadn’t made plans and rules for the creation of all living things, including the things necessary to sustain life.

Growing up on a ranch my lessons in biology were living, introduced early. Having both similarities and differences in the various animals, reptiles, and insects has to be far beyond mere coincidence. Darwin credited evolution for the similarities, but his theories have yet to be proved. It took real thought and planning to prevent total chaos rather than the order we see in nature.

No, I have not seen God either. But while working with living creatures and examining them inside and outside while watching their life processes, I reached the conclusion that there is no way evolution could develop without an intelligent mind producing and guiding the process.

People disagree?

So be it.

There are other theories, but the Ten Commandments are His laws that all should heed. No one can deny that following those laws benefits mankind.
