“The plenitude and magnificence of God’s works are all around us. Annie Dillard has observed that God is infinitely more imaginative than we are. Pretend, she says, that ‘You are God. You want to make a forest, something to hold the soil, lock up solar energy, and give off oxygen. Wouldn’t it be simpler just to rough in a slab of chemicals, a green acre of goo?’ Instead, God creates a forest ecosystem. ‘A big elm in a single season might make as many as six million leaves, wholly intricate, without budging an inch; I couldn’t make one.’” [Gene Veith, State of the Arts (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 1991), pp. 153-154]
