The Blue Sky & Sea; Green Grass and Trees
By God-Musings.com | November 15, 2008
It is a well-known fact that blue and green - the colours of the sky, the sea, trees and grass - relax us.
And people exclaim - I did so too - that this fact is surely a *clear* sign that God exists, because it is clear that our surroundings were made to help relax and calm us.
Sure, that does make a lot of sense. After all, why would God create red, fiery surroundings to keep us uptight, angry and aggressive?
Then, someone suggested: It is obviously that humans, whom he believes are randomly occurring creatures without a Creator or intelligent design process, had *evolved* to like the main colours which surround us.
Ahhh, I see.. This makes sense, too. So, those human beings who did prefer other colours - red, purple, yellow, whatever - would *not* have survived very well at all. They probably died off.
Same fact, yet two very different and opposing viewpoints or conclusions.
Does God exist? Many are utterly convinced he does. But many, too, are convinced he is but a figment of Man’s imagination.
Same objective reality; differing subjective perceptions.
