Food for Thought

The TV quiz program JEOPARDY tonight quoted some of Ecclesiastes 3:2:  A time to plant, a time to grow, die, and so on.  It also said in it that every living creature serves a purpose.

Good!  It keeps the cycle of life keeping on turning.  You never know when a species becomes extinct that it served as major link in the chain, and it is becoming extinct might cause something else to become extinct and so on.

It also brings to mind of a nature program, like National Geographic, had one time about these big amphibian creatures that hang out near the water that look something like seals.  They stay in groups and have big floppy snouts.  In the program it said they are puzzling to scientists, because they have found no purpose in the natural food chain that they contribute.

I wonder if they are possibly divine?  The whole system of life, as we know it is designed to keep these creatures comfortable and full, and they don’t have to earn it at all.
