“The great purpose is to set aside a reasonable part of the vanishing wilderness, to make certain that generations of Americans yet unborn will know what it is to experience life on undeveloped, unoccupied land in the same form and character as the Creator fashioned it... It is a great spiritual experience. I never knew a man who took a bedroll into an Idaho mountainside and slept there under a star-studded summer sky who felt self-important that next morning. Unless we preserve some opportunity for future generations to have the same experience, we shall have dishonored our trust.” KnowsMenImportantSelfCharacterSpiritualFormPurposeCertainNextOpportunityStarsFeltMorningGenerationsSkyLandSummerCreatorPreservesReasonableWildernessFuture GenerationUnbornVanishingSpiritual ExperienceIdahoGreat Spiritual Author:Frank Church
“The existing and long-standing use of the word 'evolution' in our state's textbooks has not adversely affected Georgians' belief in the omnipotence of God as creator of the universe, There can be no incompatibility between Christian faith and proven facts concerning geology, biology, and astronomy. There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend our religious faith.” NeedsLongStatesFactsUseEarthChristianOrderFallUniverseBeliefStarsReligiousTeachSkyLandEvolutionStandingCreatorAstronomyBiologyFlatsAffectedProvenReligious FaithTextbooksChristian FaithGeologyOmnipotenceIncompatibilityGeorgians Author:Jimmy Carter
“How do I pray? I study a rose, I count the stars, I marvel at the beauty of creation and how perfectly ordered it is, at man, the most beautiful work of the Creator, his brain thirsting for knowledge, his heart for love, and his senses, all his senses alert or gratified.” MenHeartBeautifulStarsBrainStudyCreationPrayingRoseCreatorSensesI Pray Book:Samarkand Source: Samarkand
“What is an artistic picture? An artistic picture is very simple. The creator is not the producer. The creator is not the star. The creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. The creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. That is an artistic picture.” WantPersonsArtistStarsRealizingSimplePoetDirectorsCreatorProducersArtistic Author:Alejandro Jodorowsky
“What doubt can you have of the Creator when you behold His creation?... Who has decked the heavenly firmament with its stars? Who has clothed the earth in its beauty? How could it be without the creator?” EarthStarsDoubtCreationCreatorHeavenlyFirmament Author:Leo Tolstoy
“Rather than seeing ourselves as insignificant specks in the immensity of the cosmos, we can consider that immensity an indicator of our worth. It seems the Creator invested a great deal-a universe of 50 billion trillion stars, plus a hundred times more matter, all fine-tuned to mind-boggling precision-for us. If not for the strength and abundance of evidence in support of that notion, it would seem the height of arrogance. Humility demands that we take a deeper and wider look at that evidence.” IfsMindLooksMatterSeemsUniverseStarsDealsSupportSeeingHumilityFineDemandHundredEvidenceNotionCreatorDeeperBillionsHeightArroganceAbundanceCosmosPlusWorth ItInsignificantPrecisionIndicatorsImmensitySpecksMind Boggling Book:Why the Universe Is the Way It Is Source: Why the Universe Is the Way It Is
