"By the greatness and the beauty of the creatures, proportionately the Maker of them is seen." -Athanasius (297-373), Against the Heathen 45:1-2
Some of the greatest figures in the history of the Church have believed and taught that through "natural theology" (looking at the world and wonder of nature) anyone with the capacity of thought must believe in a Creator - even if that Creator is not the Christian God. But how much more should Christians be amazed at the delicate intricacies of creation and work to care for it by all means possible?! Not only does creation speak about the Creator, but the way we treat the creation of which we are a part speaks about our love for the Creator.
