:: Exactly.  As God created 'goodness,' so too he created 'beauty' on Earth.  Psalm 27:4 states "One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple."  Likewise, Psalm 50:2: "From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth."

::: Right.  Anyone who claims that beauty is completely subjective and relative is likely to say the same about goodness.  God saw that his creation was good, but under this view that is in the eyes of the beholder.  It wasn't ''really'' good, it just looked that way to God.  For there, of course, it's a small step to saying that morality is in the eyes of the beholder.  God said something was wrong, but it wasn't ''really'' wrong, it just seemed that way to God.

::: When 100 out of 100 people say something is beautiful (like autumn foliage), it ''really'' is beautiful.  And those who deny it for the sake of evolution can look forward to the depression that life without beauty inevitably entails.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:27, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
