As Christians, we don’t believe that our universe is a mindless cosmic machine, driven solely by complex laws of physics. We don’t believe that the richness of life on Earth is a happy accident of chemistry and evolution. We don’t believe that our short life on this world is all that there is. Instead, as Christians, we believe that the universe is the work of a kind and loving creator God. Read this booklet to discover more of the complex beauty of creation and our response to care for what God has entrusted to us.
