My family spent this past weekend at Natural Bridge, Virginia. What a wonderful place. We were there for a family retreat and seminar, but the local sights were what wowed us.
Creation
The park makes an awe-inspiring presentation each day during the warmer months. It's called simply "Creation." The audience is seated under the Natural Bridge and listens to an orator read the biblical account of the six days of creation from Genesis. Each day of creation is depicted by a classical music piece and a light show. The lights are directed at and around the bridge and the effect is stunning.
The immense size of the bridge contributes to the effectiveness of this amazing presentation. In the photo above, you can see two small white dots at the bottom left of the bridge. Those are the shirts of two people walking the path under the bridge. It is gargantuan.
The show is introduced not by a vague reference to the "theory" of creation or by saying that this is something written in the Bible and some folks believe it, but by the statement, "The world was created in six days. This presentation is a musical and visual depiction of the biblical account of that creation."
If you're able to see this show, make a point not to miss it. It is wonderful.
Psalm 19. The Heavens declare the GLORY OF GOD and firmament shows HIS HANDIWORK!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mighty, creative God we serve. How much our natural self works to supress the Truth. It must be very hard to supress the revelation of God when you see such handiwork as this!
Thanks for the pictures.
