In ant colonies, the queen sends out drones to protect herself. She commands and they all do. Darwin wrote about survival of the fittest after studying wildlife. Wolf packs follow an alpha who fought the last alpha for the position. Left to itself, nature breaks down. The one who does the most damage gets their way.
And everything God does is the opposite. Jesus sacrificed Himself. Instead of taking, He gave. God, our King, provides for us, not the other way around. He protects us. So why would God create a universe that, in its natural state, works the opposite of what He does?
What if He didn't? God created us in His image. He always intended to be in this universe through us. Jesus performed amazing acts changing the world around Him. He told us that those all came from the Father, through Him. Jesus was the example of what we were supposed to be. What if God always meant to interact with this universe through us?
The spiritual then enters and changes our universe through us. We rebelled against God. We put ourselves in His place. Our spirits have changed the universe around us. What I mean, is that these behaviors we see in animals reflect us. They learned from us. It's not a natural state. It's what we made it.
So what if we submitted instead of rebelled? What if we reflected God, and the animals reflect us? A lion would lay down next to a lost lamb and protect it. Snakes would gently lick a baby who stuck its hand into their nest. No fear. Imagine walking up to a T-Rex and petting it like, well, a pet. How different would our world be?
