Two Romans Passages

I was thinking of two passages and was filled with wonder:
Romans 8:20-21: For the creation was subjected to For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Romans 8:28: And we know that in all things And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
It is interesting how those who don't affirm predestination shrink God. For in these texts God's wisdom shines so far above all human wisdom. Anyone who affirms the fall as an accident shrinks God exponentially.
