While walking our collie dog, I was astonished to see blooms on clumps of moss growing on rock fences. I never knew moss bloomed. The fragile spear-topped stalks opened up miniature magic for viewing—a minuscule journey into a tiny parallel world.
And I thought: moss blooms. Elephants don’t. Yet both reproduce their kind and exist on this beautiful wide planet that God made. And that’s the point.
The theory of evolution cannot explain this wonder, nor can the big bang theory. But God? The infinite and precise creations of an intelligent Creator with a design and a plan—that explains it. How can anyone study the miniature world of a clump of moss and touch an elephant—and believe they were haphazard happenings. That takes more faith than I have.
I looked up moss blooms. Scientists say they are not actually blooms, and moss does not have flowers. They have an explanation; the “blooms” are spores. Spores are not seeds and produce no flowers.
But many of these same scientists also discount creation and herd academics and anyone else they can bend to fit into their agendas into accepting their theories of a big bang and evolution. I will stick to moss blooms and elephants.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…and God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:1

I have never seen blossoms from moss and I’ve seen a lot of moss. Oregon, being so damp and rainy, has lots of moss. Great analogy! God bless you, Stephanie.

Thanks, Meghan! There should have been a picture of moss blooms with my blog, but something happened with WordPress and I couldn’t get the photo to stay. God Bless.

The picture is on your post of the moss blossoms. I meant I’ve never seen that in person. Sorry for the confusion.

No confusion. No apology needed! The picture did not come out on FB or Twitter when I shared the blog. That’s what I meant. I thought you might have seen it on FB or Twitter where there is no picture. Have a grand week. God bless.

i never knew that moss could bloom, Steph. That is so beautiful! I’ve recently that Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest scientists of our time, did not discount the possibility of God’s creation. Even he accepted the mystery of creation could not be fully explained by science. I agree that nature shows us every day there is more to this world than can be put down to big bangs and evolution.
