Seeking the Creator Near a Pond

Here is one more quote I like about finding God in the wonder of his creation. Brian D. McLaren in  A Search for What Is Real says this about discovering a red eft, or newt, in his yard at the age of five. My sisters as kids, along with their friend who many years later became my wife, collected these salamanders and kept them in a terrarium. They are beautiful. The newts, I mean.

"Who can assign a value to those creatures? Who can deny the existence of a Creator when viewing such wonders? Who can help but love these creatures, and in loving them, who can doubt that his or her love wants to reach through and beyond the creatures to their Creator?"
