I am a Christian, not just in name. At times I have to wonder at why God allows things to happen, especially to good people. And why he allows evil in his world.

But, that is a part of my faith. Someday, the whys will be revealedTill then I just have to accept the world for what it is and deal with it.

But anytime I waver, I look at my dog. I marvel at his structure and behavior. And I realize that he is unique and different than all other dogs and other creatures in this world. That didn't happen by chance. There was an intervention that made that happen.

He is not a perfect creature, but he exists. If there was no devine plan, how did he get here? Happenstance. All of his atoms and molecules just aligned in that order to make him? The same with all of the other animals? And the plants? I think not.

So, whenever I doubt, I look at my dog and know that there is a God.
