Mundus Imago Dei

It amazes me still there are people who can look at the skies, look at the world, look at themselves and animals and rocks and vegetation and still believe there is no God. He is everywhere! He is evident in the complexity first of our own bodies, then of the workings of nature, then of the 'mechanics' and fluidity of the unfixed and then fixed stars. Regularity, in the positions of the pole stars, the great bear, the constellations in their fixed heavens, along with the regular stability of the sun and the moon and the earth, all of this is a reflection of God Who desires to know Himself better through His creation, cuts through the unbelief of chaos, where there even now order has been found. There surely is an interconnectedness of all things since (and before) the discovery of gravity where everything is attracted to itself in an inverse relationship. Newton only manifestly reported what the ancients knew and wrote already. The Cosmos is organized in a way that what happens below affects what happens above, and what happens above surely affects what happens below. When one looks beyond the mundane drive to work, and sees the circular in it, or the same by brushing one's teeth, or taking a shower, or beholding another sunrise or moonrise, or whirl-back-around of Orion, and then see that all of these, mundane and celestial are in harmony with one another in that they are all circular, how can one not see that the Divine is preeminent and that we were not preordained and established in Him? Just a question, this was.
