Amazing Design, Amazing God

Technology inspired by biology! We serve an awesome creator God!


Biomimicry: inspired by nature GOD's creation

(Biomimicry: the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes.)

"Ever wondered how Japan's super-fast Shinkansen Bullet Trains got their distinctive beak-shaped noses? It's not just about smooth aerodynamics. Older trains caused a build-up of pressure in tunnels, which resulted in ear-cracking noises as the train burst out. Engineer Eiji Nakatsu was inspired by a kingfisher's smooth entry into the water to catch prey for his novel design." - info taken from CNN article

The world has blinders on. God continually amazes me by how His ways are best, yet the world ignores this and continually credits "nature" for things. If it is something good... "nature." If something bad happens like a 'natural' disaster... "God", it's "an act of God!" I, however, KNOW that God is responsible for both. :)

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."   Psalm 139:14

"...the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm,..."   Nahum 1:3

"19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."   Roman 1:19-25
