Dear SS( Sincere Seeker):
When we went to LA. in last April,
Dr. Abura, called up his former medical school classmates for a reunion dinner with us. During the dinner, he shared his newly discovery of Fibonacci number patterns in nature. I think you are familiar with this pattern in nature, right? However, Dr. Abura discovered this pattern recently as he was taking art class after retirement. His art teacher told the class about these natural phenomena. So he shared this new discovery with us. And I fortunately did encounter this number series early on as my computer teacher taught us in the very beginning of our computer course. I hope this prevalent patterns do tell you that this universe has a Creator God and not just by random chances. Or else how can randomness create beautiful orders like these, could you kindly explain to me? ( You who don't acknowledge our Creator God.)
JUST in case, if you are not familiar with this natural phenomena, the link and brief description are pasted down below for your references.
The Fibonacci number patterns encountered herein occur so frequently in nature that we often hear the phenomenon referred to as a "law of nature". Not all four-petalled flowers are so rare as the four-leaf clover is reputed to be and deviations, sometimes even large ones, from Fibonacci patterns have been found. If this is at all disturbing to the modern botanist, it is not at all so to the Fibonacci devotee, for whom the whole phenomenon, if not a "law", is at least a fascinating prevalent tendency!
(note: 1.618; the Golden Number, also known as Phi, the Golden Ratio, Golden Section, Golden Proportion, Golden Mean or the Divine Proportion, and its mathematical cousin the Fibonacci Sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 …) interesting link http://www.goldennumber.net/bible/

(From the above link)
...The Fibonacci Spiral is created by drawing arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling. Fibonacci was a mathematician in the 13th century. He first discovered the Fibonacci number sequence by estimating how fast rabbits could reproduce in an ideal environment. Now I’m not a mathematician and I don’t want to get too technical or boring but the premise behind the squares, or the sequence, is adding each number in the sequence with the number occurring before it in the sequence. Like this…
1
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 1 = 3
3 + 2 = 5
5 + 3 = 8
8 + 5 = 13
13 + 8 = 21
21 + 13 = 34 and so on.
While I must admit I really don’t care about the math I did want to include that part in my post so you at least have some knowledge of what I’m talking about. What I most care about is what the spiral looks like in nature, architecture and the like. I did a basic search on Google and came up with some of the following images…
