just discovered this stunningly good site, through stumblupon.
its a great slideshow of images that give frans lanting's idea of the evolution of our world. the photos are fantastic, and there's a gentle blend of music tracks running behind the slideshow. it also has a written commentary of lanting's evolutionary thoughts, and the option to stop the show, click on an image and learn more about where he got it.
the philosophy is purely evolutionary, and the christian will want to bring some critique to it, but nevertheless, you can't help but admire the sheer beauty of our planet home, its diversity, complexity, power and fragility. and the skill of the photographer/artist in bringing the beauty to our attention.
this kind of thing always brings to my mind the psalmist's wonder when he says in psalm 24:1, 'the earth is the lord's, and everything in it.' i wish we would take better care of the generous gift of god to us, and this website helps us to appreciate what we've been given.
following the release of the stern report this week on the economic affects of global warming, and the new level of debate that is happening world-wide about the future of our planet home, why not take 20 mins to sit and contemplate with this slideshow about how you may or may not value god's great gift to us, and what your lifestyle means to our common future?
