Cape Town in Bloom


Recently I visited one of my favorite Cape Town sites, the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. The property covers 1,320 acres on the slopes of the Table Mountain range. The beauty of the indigenous plantings is stunning, as is the diversity (the Cape region is said to be home to more plants per square meter than anywhere else on earth).

Skeptics say that to believe in God and the Bible is to believe a fairy tale. I say it’s ludicrous to believe that the wonders of the natural world came into existence on their own. The Bible itself says, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1).
