Butterfly Wings

Throughout the ages men have looked at the accomplishments of artists and marveled at their creativity and their use of materials to produce objects of great beauty and complexity. But we are created in the image of God and are simply reflecting His divine nature. Nothing we can do achieves the level of beauty and complexity as revealed in His Creation.

Butterflies are produced by a process in which a caterpillar encases itself in a sack, digests itself and uses it's DNA to reassemble its proteins to produce a completely different creature. It would be like stuffing a wart hog into an acid filled bathtub and three months later out pops Sophia Loren. With wings.

That in itself is pretty amazing, but lets look at the wings and see what makes them so pretty...

It baffles me how people can witness things like this and not see the hand of God.
