    Will the Creator Show You Secrets?

    -Secrets. They can be very valuable.

    Will the CREATOR show you secrets which can add tremendous value to others and benefit yourself too?

    Pretty audacious to think about!

    George Washington Carver was bold enough to ask for secrets from the Creator. And his life and work revolutionized the Southern economy when America needed it the most...

    ...He would begin each day with prayer that God would reveal secrets to him about plants and vegetables. It is reported that once Carver prayed, "Mr. Creator, show me the secrets of your universe."

    "Little man, you're not big enough to know the secrets of My universe, but I'll show you the secret of the peanut," was the reply.

    His prayer and heaven's response launched him into a lifetime of discovery.

    Giving himself to the lowly peanut, he identified several hundred elements in its seed and shell.

    As he put the elements together again in different forms, he uncovered over 300 uses for the peanut including various kinds of foods, oil, paint, ink, soap, shampoo, facial cream, plastics, and many other products.

    Later Carver lifted the sweet potato saying, "Show me it's secrets." Again, fresh discoveries and opportunities flowed through his work – over 115 products were developed from the sweet potato including flour, starch, and synthetic rubber.

    He would also draw out the latent potential of the soybean and the pecan.

    He believed in the holistic integration of faith in God and science. Though highly educated, his testimony on many occasions, including before a Congressional committee, was that his faith in Jesus Christ was the only way in which he could effectively pursue the art of science.

    Through his research and teaching on soil improvement and crop diversification, and by developing uses for alternative crops to cotton, George Washington Carver revolutionized Southern agriculture and industry. He was key in transforming the southern economy...

    But wait, there's more! The next whole article is worth a read but I'll only excerpt the last part:


    Carver goes to Congress

    Peanuts were still helping to rebuild the South when, in January 1921, Professor Carver received an invitation to Washington, DC. The Senate's Ways and Means Committee was looking at an important tariff bill in Congress. For years, America had imported peanuts from other countries at a tax of only half a cent a pound. It was becoming difficult for local growers to compete with the cheap foreign imports. Peanut growers pleaded with Professor Carver to ask the government at the Senate hearing to raise the tariff of imported peanuts. The professor agreed.

    Arriving at the Capitol building, George Carver nervously entered the room in which the senators were discussing the bill. He heard someone say the meeting was about to close. Had he arrived too late? He announced himself to the committee, and they granted him 10 minutes to state his case. Only 10 minutes! He had so much to say and so little time. But he had to make a start. He told those gathered in the great hall about his findings from the peanuts: that the peanut was one of the richest of all the products of the soil, rich in food value, chemical properties, and much more. He produced displays. Breakfast food made from peanuts and sweet potatoes: delicious, wholesome, and easily digested.

    He showed them ice-cream powder made from peanuts — just add water. A quinine substitute for fighting malaria. Peanut fodder for livestock. Dyes that wouldn't harm human skin ... The committee was so impressed that they agreed to extend the professor's 10 minutes. For the next two hours George Washington Carver shared the secrets of the peanut with a fascinated group of senators. They had never heard anything like this. He told them peanuts could be eaten when meat couldn't. Peanuts were the perfect food.

    Lessons from Genesis

    "Where did you learn all this?" asked one puzzled senator.

    "From a book," came the reply.

    "What book?" the senator asked.

    "The Bible," answered the scientist, with a smile. He told them God has given us everything for our use. "He has revealed to me some of the wonders of the fruit of His earth," Carver continued. "In the first chapter of Genesis we are told, 'Behold, I have given you every herb-bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.' That's what He means about it — meat. There is everything there to strengthen, nourish and keep the body alive and healthy."

    When George Washington Carver finished, several senators came over and shook his hand. An hour later, the committee announced its decision. Carver had won his case. Peanut growers no longer needed to fear that foreign imports would put them out of business.

    Professor Carver was now 57 years old. Despite offers to work for such an eminent scientist as Thomas Edison, he continued at Tuskegee for another 22 years. He developed a new type of cotton known as Carver's Hybrid, and made synthetic marble from wood shavings. He produced dyes from tomato vines, beans, dandelions, onions, trees and clay, and was awarded a medal for advancing the cause of black people.

    During his lifetime, George Washington Carver accepted the Book of Genesis as the foundation for his life and his scientific experiments. A few years before his death on Tuesday January 5, 1943, he gave his life's savings to set up a foundation for research in creative chemistry. A humble slave had become one of God's great scientists.
