God's Qualities Can Be Clearly Seen

 

The Apostle Paul's words partially quoted here from Romans 1:20: where Paul said, "For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world's creation onward."

What he meant is evident in the design of creatures around us. Consider the humpback whale for instance. This 30 ton 40 foot long animal is more agile than most human swimmers being able to turn in seemingly impossibly tight circles even when the whale is climbing at steep angles.

The secret is in the leading edge of its flippers. They are not smooth like the leading edge of an airplane wing as you might imagine but faced with protruding bumps or tubercles which cause the water to accelerate over the flipper in an organized, rotating flow. This reduces drag and increases lift – much better than any airplane wing

So much more efficiently, actually, that biomechanics experts such as John Long believe that before too long we could see every jetliner wing designed with similar protruding bumps on the leading edges. Such wings would definitely need fewer flaps and other moving parts, need less maintenance and make the airliner much safer to fly in and is a perfect example of God's design intelligence.

Another example of this is the seagull's wing which aircraft designers have been to mimic in prototype drones which have the seagull's ability to hover, dive and climb rapidly according to an article in New Scientist magazine.

Military aircraft designers are keen on designing and building such small aircraft, which can hover and dive between tall buildings to help search for chemical or biological threats in big cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles throughout the world.

All of this so far is but a quick look at what Paul was talking about in the introduction to his Bible book of Romans, but it does help to illustrate what he meant – the proof all around us in the world of nature of a super intelligent and creative God.
