beauty and symmetry
Today was the first day of autumn, though the temps in the low 90s here said otherwise. I was thinking about God’s creation and its wonderful orderliness, of which the changing of seasons is just one example. I received several things lately that went along with my pondering of the order and the beauty of the creation.
First, here are some of the pictures from an e-mail called “When God paints”
Part of the beauty in what God created is not just the colors He chose, but also the symmetry and design, as seen in the two pictures below…
God’s universe is mathematical. Though students may beg to differ, I must say that math has a beauty all its own, as you’ll see from the contents of an e-mail I received recently.
Examples of the beauty of math…
1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111
9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
And look at this symmetry…
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321
Brilliant and amazing in its beautiful symmetry, isn’t it?! And it’s not just a happy coincidence!

Fascinating! God certainly has created a beautiful universe, down to the minutest detail.
Absolutely beautiful; Praise the Lord
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.
I hope viewing the China pics bring back fond memories for you.
I found your post about You’ve Been in China too Long When… Those are GREAT! I totally understand every one. We DO miss Chinese food when we’re in America! Of course!! We think it’s ridiculous when visitors don’t eat the food here. WE crack up! It’s absolutely delicious to us! So funny. But of course, it takes years to get to that point.
Yes, these pics and even the math are beautiful! When God paints… cute. He does. And the picture is beautiful! (When you can get outside of an ugly polluted city and SEE it.)
