If God had created the heavens and earth with a protestant’s heart and mind, the sky would be gray, the trees brown, birds would be all one shade and sing the same tune. There would be no fields of wildflowers or breathtaking vistas. In other words, a world with no awe, no wonder, and no delight.

That's just goofy...

There is no honor of Mary which God has not made possible and ordained when He chose her over all women throughout all of time, past, present and future, to bear to the world its Savior.

And that's even goofier...

God did not choose the time for becoming manifest in the flesh based on the birth and life of Mary...You're glorifying the wrong person here...

Not at all, if one cannot see the wonder and glory of God in Mary, one cannot see it in anything He has created, for she is one of His best creations and what He wants from all of us.

I beg to differ. God knew Mary before He created the heavens and the earth. He knew exactly when Jesus would come and through whom He would come and why this particular woman at this particular time.

“But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law” (4:4).

Mary is a part of that “fullness of time”.
