I notice more things these days. This year it's the colors of autumn. Why, I ask myself, do trees turn into this collage (combination) of radiant maroon, red, orange, and yellow?
There's a perfectly natural explanation, of course. Trees are shades of green in the summer because chlorophyll, a green pigment in the leaves, absorbs red and blue light from the sun. The light reflected from the leaves, diminished in red and blue, appears green to our eyes.
Chlorophyll is an unstable substance, and bright sunlight causes it to decompose rapidly so plants must continuously synthesize and regenerate it. The shortening days and cool nights of autumn, however, interfere with this process, and as chlorophyll breaks down, the green colors of the leaves begin to fade.
The leaves of some trees - birches and "quakies" (aspens) for example - contain carotene, a yellow pigment, and thus change from green to bright yellow as the chlorophyll degrades. In other trees the action of sugar in the leaves creates anthocyanin, a red pigment, causing the yellowing leaves to turn maroon, purple, and bright red as the chlorophyll fades.
As I said before, there's a natural explanation.
But, I ask you, why all this just for color? Color serves no practical purpose, at least none that scientists have been able to discover. And why are there photoreceptors in our eyes that enable us to see it? Who can explain this?
John Calvin, that's who: "If it be asked what cause induced [God] to create all things at first, and now inclines him to preserve them, we shall find that there could be no other cause than his own goodness."
No other cause than God's goodness? Indeed, Goodness is the point of all creation. God created and colored the world and exuded over what He had made: "Ah, that's beautiful!" He exclaimed, "My children will love it!"
I would never for a moment denigrate the labors and discoveries of scientists, but their explanations are never enough, for they cannot tell us why things ultimately exist - that is, for what purposes. For that insight we need revelation and disclosure, not discovery.
It is through God's Word, not scientific analysis, that we enter into nature's deepest secrets and understand God's "why." There "we understand in a moment things that no man of science, prosecuting his investigations from the surface with all the aids that keenest human intellect can supply, would reach in the longest lifetime." There we understand that God is love and made the whole world for our good!
Dante Alighieri, in the very last line of his Divine Comedy, sums up his argument on the mystery of God's eternal affection by stating that his love for us is the motive and the means "whereby the sun doth move / And all the stars."
Why, then, autumn colors? Our heavenly Father does it on purpose to make the world more beautiful for our childlike delight - and for no other reason. He's like that, you know.
song, and telling a more wonderful tale.

The labours and discoveries of scientists are never enough to explain why things ultimately exist - that is, for what purposes. For that insight we need revelation and disclosure, not discovery.
Lord, we learn that it is through God's Word, not scientific analysis, that we enter into nature's deepest secrets and understand God's ‘why.’ There ‘we understand in a moment, things that no man of science, prosecuting his investigations from the surface with all the aids that keenest human intellect can supply, would reach in the longest lifetime.’ There we understand that God is love and made the whole world for our good!
Lord, thank You for making the world more beautiful for our childlike delight - and for no other reason.
We have Your eternal affection, and love is the motive. May we be penetrated by the light of truth and understands that God's love is at the center of the universe, setting everything else into motion.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"

[259] "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). In certain contexts the Hebrew word tob (good) means beautiful.
[260] The question "why" can be answered with a technical or teleological explanation ("teleological" has to do with ultimate ends or purposes). For example, the question, "Why is the water in that teapot boiling?" can be answered in two ways: (1) Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. As the temperature of the water increases, the energy of the individual molecules increase and they move more and more vigorously until they break the bonds holding them to each other and turn into vapor, or (2) "I'm making a cup of tea for you."
