Creation Quotes
-
Silence came before creation, and the heavens were spread without a word
Mother Teresa
-
If we take seriously the word-flesh Christology of Chalcedon (i.e., the doctrine that Christ is fully human and fully divine) and view Christ as the telos toward which God is drawing the whole of creation, then any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
William A. Dembski
-
As one sits here in summertime and listens to the cuckoo and all the other bird songs, the crackling and buzzing of insects, as one gazes at the shining colors of flowers, doth one become dumbstruck before the Kingdom of the Creator.
Carl Linnaeus
-
Nature never makes excellent things, for mean or no uses: and it is hardly to be conceived, that our infinitely wise Creator, should make so admirable a Faculty, as the power of Thinking, that Faculty which comes nearest the Excellency of his own incomprehensible Being, to be so idlely and uselesly employ'd, at least 1/4 part of its time here, as to think constantly, without remembering any of those Thoughts, without doing any good to it self or others, or being anyway useful to any other part of Creation.
John Locke
Nazareth

In the silence, whether we listen to the creation around us, the words of revelation, or the deepest stirrings of our own hearts, we begin to perceive another voice, one that is too often lost in the static of life. It is no use saying: ”Speak, Lord, your servant wants to hear,” if We never risk the silence to listen.
Basil Pennington

For no part of Creation is left void of him: he has filled all things everywhere.

Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.
Bette Davis

Music needs no human justification. God saw fit to include music in the totality of his creation and as such it needs no further justification. This is the starting place for thinking about music, period, full stop, end of report.
Charlie Peacock
-
But surely he had told that story before. All of us, we tell our stories over and over again. Not in the same way and we don't always recognize them for what they are, the same way we don't always recognize that all creation myths boil down to God and man and a thunderstorm.
Binnie Kirshenbaum
-
I wonder what my father saw in his most secret sight of the right life. It's my guess he wanted to live out his life surrounded by friends and children and fertile fields of his own designing. I tihnk he wanted to die believing he had been in one the creation of a good sweet place. Those old pilgrims believed stories in which the West was a promise, a far away place where decent people could escape the wreckage of the old world and start over. Come to me, the dream whispers, and you can have one more chance.
William Kittredge

It’s a liberating experience to think of God as an Artist. The joy He felt in creation. The care that was taken in the formation of the cosmos. The thoughtfulness and energy it would take to sculpt the mountains…
Pat Barrett
