The Good Planner
The beginning and the end are the bases of planning. What there is at the beginning gives the available possibilities for planning. What there must be at the end determines the content of the plan. Untruthful possibilities and wrong goals distort the planning. Usually people do not plan carefully what there must be at the end, because they trust in getting a good goal through incidental evolutions. If they would be wise they would plan everything so that it is based on the perfect result. They would seek a strong enough beginning which would make it possible to plan the way that leads to the perfect end. God is the good Planner! He Himself is the Beginning and the End.
Planning and goal
In the TV's nature film there was said about an animal: "Nature has planned it..." Isn't it a fanny sentence? If the glory would be given God it would be said: "God has planned this animal." All the creatures of God are perfect in the sense that they have been designed for a certain purpose.
How could evolution plan anything? Defining the goal is the requirement for all planning work. A chance knows nothing about a goal. The starting-point of all planning is the available raw materials and the goal is to fulfil the needs of the end-user. The resources are the beginning and the finished product is the end. The beginning is always something fixed and permanent and the end can be whatever. Therefore it is essential to determine the end, because there is so little planning with the beginning. Often the basis is already fully defined.
For example a computer's software is made for the needs of the user and the features of the computer and the operation system are the bases. Linux can be the better beginning than Windows if reliability is required as the final result. Bad designing is the biggest problem of the technology. Unexpected and unplanned results are appearing here and there. Man so easily forgets to plan the end, because he doesn't want to think about his own end. Your birth is your beginning.Is your death your end?

Possibility-centric planning
The greatest part of the product planning applies the possibilities offered by natural sciences. We can call the current practice the possibility-centric planning. It is stupid to build a technology only for the reason that we are able to do something.
The mankind should first plan to what kind of a world it wants to aim at. What is such a result that needs not to be improved anymore? When the goal is clear then it is possible to plan the means which are used to reach the goal. It's not done in this way, because the mankind believes in evolution not in planning. Often the only goal for the planning is simply to gain money.

The Beginning and the End
Defining the beginning and the end are the bases of all planning. The greatest planner, God has said: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Rev. 22:13 Although knowing the beginning motivates planning something, it is impossible to plan anything without a goal. Therefore knowing the end is so important. All is well that ends well.
If the goal is set too near to the beginning the planning will be short-sighted. It would be wise to begin the planning from the end or at least from the farthest known aim. Although the aim can often be reached by many ways the final aim affects also in all intermediate aims. Sometimes seeing the right goal can also open to see the truth about the beginning. God Himself is the aim of everything. He is also the beginning of everything.

The new beginning and the new end
The beginning is an unchangeable thing, which is the basis of everything. Our values are a more important beginning than our birth, because on that ground we build our life. Many want to plan an own beginning for their life, because they don't accept God to be their beginning. They consider the Big Bang the beginning and the end explosion the end. Are not they hostile to God who is the Beginning and the End!
They would like to blow up God away from their past and future. If you consider the Big Bang the beginning, your values are only fragments and the chance is a wiser planner than you. If you consider God the beginning, the unbreakable Rock is your ground. If you consider God the end, you live according to the perfect plan.
God wants to give you the new beginning through Jesus Christ. His sacrifice for the atoning of your sins gives you the new beginning. He also gives you the new end when you get eternal life as a gift. How could man plan his life if he is not interested in his beginning and his end?
If you consider the death the end, your life is a product which is made for the death. "If only they were wise and would understand this and discern what their end will be!" Deut.32:29 If you consider God the end, your life is a product which is made for Him.
