God’s Design is Divine

I have been researching snowflakes for our homeschool and for my sister blog, Homeschooling Coach. I am amazed by snowflakes! Have you ever looked closely at the different kinds of snowflakes? They are incredibly intricate, geometric, and just beautiful!

All of this research has made me think about God and His divine design. God is an artist and a mathematician! He intentionally created the shapes of the different kinds of snowflakes; those designs cannot be a mistake. Nothing that finite and meticulously formed can be accidental. He also, for some reason, decided to use the number 6 in snowflake design – six-sided figures, hexagonal shapes, six snowflake arms. Not all snowflakes have the number 6. Sometimes you’ll find a snowflake with 12 arms instead.

I can’t help but wonder why did God choose the number 6?

After doing a little research, I found many websites that state that in the Bible the number 6 is attributed to man (because he was created on day 6) and incompleteness (because God’s work wasn’t complete until day 7). That is interesting to me.

God is a mathematician.

God is an artist.

God’s design is divine!
