Yes, the pics are beautiful, but why is a god needed?

God is the creator of everything.

Without a God/Higher Power/Allah/Heavenly Father as the Master Creator... there would be nada, zero, zip, zilch, nothing.

Think of it in this way... the whole ball of wax is God's and we are but one of his tiny creations... and being the highest of all his tiny creations... he just happens to love us very much and we should be extremely grateful and humbled... and if we feel it in our hearts... we love him back.

When you understand and appreciate what a creative, loving genius God is you will begin to know the real one.

That is created by the bad seeds...

Think of it like this... here you give birth to the most beautiful child and you love him or her so much... and because you love your child, you give your child the gift of free will... because you think this will be good for him or her.

And because your child thinks they are smarter than you are... which usually happens when they're in junior high... they get it into their pretty little heads that they don't need you to tell them what to do... and then they go off and do something stupid.

And when you continually ask them nicely to stop being that way... they give you the one finger salute.

So now you know how it is with God... but, in spite of all the rotten things His children do, He loves all of us beyond our wildest dreams.

There is one way to stop this bad behavior... and it's so simple... and I'll say it a million and one times here... all we need to do is pray for God's Divine Love.

No... please wipe that ridiculous thought out of our mind.

God doesn't create disease or anything that kills anyone or any of His creation... as God does not go against any of His own laws.

And what law would that be... I'm sure you know it already... Thou Shalt Not Kill.

When you think of God... think of Love.

The tiger is a beautiful animal, but its a killing machine. Its claws, teeth, strength, it ferocity. Was the tiger created by God?

Can you ask him for me? Whether or not God created tigers is an objective question, so it wouldn't matter who asks him.
