However, as you watch them, it doesn't take long to see various problems - hippos with nasty scars because of fights, elephants and antelopes flicking their ears and tails because of biting insects, animals hiding due to fear of other animals, birds eating ticks and other pests from the skins of buffalo and giraffe, thorns growing on most vegetation, etc. While there is indeed beauty and amazing
design evident, so is the curse! Both are introduced in Genesis.
Our lives are the same - We humans are incredible creatures with amazing capabilities! We are truly "fearfully and wonderfully made"! But, like nature which is "groaning" under the curse (Rom. 8:22), we have a serious problem, too. Sin and the curse have alienated us from our Maker. Only through Jesus can restoration occur!
