Mysteries Hidden In Creation

The field of bionics or biomimetics seeks to apply principles and characteristics found in nature to engineering and technology. For instance, when the first Japanese Bullet Train was built in 1964, it could travel at 120 mph. But whenever the train exited a tunnel, there was a loud boom and the passengers would complain that the train felt like it was squeezing together. An engineer discovered the solution to this problem by studying kingfishers and designing the front of the trains like these diving birds' beak. Today, Japan’s reconfigured trains are quiet exiting tunnels and are 10 percent faster and 15 percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.

This fascinating story reveals that there are amazing mysteries hidden in creation still waiting to be discovered and applied. All of them have one thing in common- they reflect the glory of God as Creator and Lord. The greatest application of studying nature is not for the advancement of technology but the enlightenment of our knowledge of God. The Church will lead this revelation revolution for it is the Holy
Spirit which guides us into all truth. One day the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the seas!

"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge." Psalm 19:1-2
