Works of Technology and Art are All Examples of Design 157

When someone walks into an art gallery and views
a show of pictures, he immediately understands that
they were painted by a talented, experienced, knowl-
edgeable artist. Even if he cannot see the painter, he
would never doubt that the artist exists. No one would
claim that these works were formed by the chance
spilling of paint on canvas. And someone who liked one
of the paintings wouldn't praise the pigments that
formed the paint, or the linen that was woven into the
canvas but rather, the individual who conceived and
painted it.
All the beautiful things we see around us belong to
God, the Creator of everything. The only One Who de-
serves praise and thanksgiving is our Lord God, Who
made everything He created with consummate perfection.
