A greater one than I

Recently my husband and I took a road trip and drove through the Smokey Mountain Parkway for a day. Some people tell me they do not believe in God. I do not understand how this can be true. Sure some people call him by another name...Allah, Jesus, The Great One, The Creator and so on....but it is so hard to imagine when I look at all of the beauty in the world that there is not some one greater than us humans here.

It was a dreary day and there were occasional showers, but the mountains are still lovely. Here are some pics to show you what I saw...

I will post more of these if you are interested...Hope you enjoyed the view as much as I did.

The sheer majesty of the planet for me drives it home God exists

AMAZING photos!

I have always wondered when one sees a baby born, how they could ever question the existance of God as well.   Science can explain biology, but it has yet to explain love and emotions.... because it CAN'T!

I totally agree with you.

What is that saying?  Something like..."The whole (ONE) being greater than the sum of it's parts (I)"?
