Little Thing #12: Chicken Feed

The best proof of I know for God is the chicken egg.  Nutrition-wise, it is one of the best single source food products one can find.  Versatility-wise, you can eat an egg in so many ways--boiled, fried, and baked.  And it goes well with so many other foods.

And it is so convenient.  You don't have to kill anything, butcher anything, or skin anything.  You just have to pick it up.  And you can get more every day.

Scientists say the shape of the chicken egg is one of the sturdiest possible designs for a thin shell.  Did the chicken dream-up the physics behind that shape?  And how does the chicken get that shell around the egg as it plops into the nest.  That is a miracle.

To paraphrase Shirley Temple, when asked why she thinks her chicken is so special, says, "My chicken can lay an egg.  Can you?"

And the chicken does it all by only using the raw material of chicken feed.  Imagine if we humans had to invent something as nutritious, versitile and sturdy as an egg.  I'm sure it would cost a fortune--not chicken feed. 

Yes, only a loving God could invent the chicken egg.

Litttle Thing #6: Little Factories

For the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter, God provided a lot of little factories. For clothing, He made little wool factories (called sheep), little cotton factories (called cotton plants), and little leather factories (various animals). For shelter, he gave us lumber factories (called trees). For food, God made all kinds of factories (plants, fruit or nut-bearing trees, animals)

It is amazing when you compare God's factories with the factories of man. For synthetic fibers, mankind has made huge factories which deal in toxic chemicals and put a lot of crap into the atmosphere. For synthetic house materials, we again have created some of the most toxic chemicals known to man.

Many people are alergic to some of these synthetic fibers and household materials, but very few are alergic to the products of God's little factories--cotton and wood.

God's little factories are pretty much self-sustaining and don't leave much of a carbon footprint. Some, like trees, actually improve the air quality. They practically run themselves, and very efficiently I may say.

It all goes to show the superiority of God in his factory creation and the love of God in his giving them to us.
