Those Who Have Eyes To See

I continued the conversation, at my own blog, on art that was begun here in "Seeking Perfect Art". Matt Harmless of "Harmless Thoughts" left a comment with a delightful link to some of NASA's pictures. In his entry,"NASA image of the day", he has the picture that I found most striking: The Eskimo Nebula. I wanted to share it with all of you.
Fabulous, isn't it!

Who knew that God created abstracts? Abstracts for us, because it takes a great abstraction of our mind to even try to comprehend the things that technology allows us to see. Maybe this is the truest sense of Abstracts: the stretching of our mind beyond its usual perimeters.

I really appreciate the honorable mention. I am glad that I could direct someone else to these pictures. Some see them and marvel at the universe, but I think that when we see them we should be marveling at God. As immense and beautiful as these stellar objects are, they don't hold a candle to the immensity and beauty of God.

I don't think the human mind can help but make the connection at some level- which is why the Bible says that man is without excuse in not recognizing the Creator and giving Him His proper worship.

...imagine the effort an atheist must put out in response to such things. That is what I think anyway.
