Birds of Paradise

32,093 views
Deep in the isolated wilderness of New Guinea lives extraordinary beauty as you have never seen it before. It pours from within the existence of 39 species of birds found nowhere else on earth. For over a decade, Ed Scholes, a Cornell Lab scientist, and Tim Laman, a National Geographic photojournalist, took on the Birds-of-Paradise project – an incredible journey to capture the majestic splendor of these birds. Mother Nature is full of abundance and boundless wonders. When we are in tune with nature, it connects us back with those universal creative powers and healing energy. Let the birds of paradise dance, parade, and serenade you with their extraordinary ornaments and plumes.

Beautiful!
But it’s amazing and almost funny that they have to START with the presumed (to them) fact of what one of the guys calls “the miracle of evolution”, and wondering then
“Why” all this took place.......
So I guess IF there was a God, He couldn’t possibly have created all these
different species, everything just evolved from some purely accidental
meshing or mushing together of some mud and electrical impulses, and the
whales, the flowers, and these gorgeous birds of paradise all came from the
same spontaneous development in the universe, right here on earth.

Now that takes a lot more ‘blind faith’ than simply believing that there is a God
Who is intelligent, caring, and well-planned and orderly.
At least in my primitive thinking.

The wonder of God! Once you are speaking of evolution it's difficult to deny that God the Creator is really something! Seems to me that these birds are something he did just for the heck of it! because he enjoys creating beauty and it must have been fun to do! I'm so thankful that you all have brought them into my world...Mary Anne Maldonado
