Look Deep int Nature

Look Deep into Nature
Albert Einstein one of the greatest scientist ever to live made an interesting statement. He said,

“Look deep into nature, 

and then you will understand everything better.”

                                                                 Albert Einstein

The psalmist writing several millenniums before Einstein’s birth wrote,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they pour forth speech; 

night after night they display knowledge. 

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” 

                                                                              Psalm 19:1-3.

I have always been of the opinion that science done correctly will show there is a creator behind it all. And science seems to be heading in that direction.
Scientist are looking into nature. They are seeing that everything from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles have all come together to allow life as we know it here on earth to exist.
To me that speaks of a creator.
Einstein noted,

“Human beings vegetables  or cosmic dust. 

We all dance to a mysterious tune, 

intoned in the distance by an invisible player.”

                                                              Albert Einstein.

I don’t know whether or not Einstein believed in God. I do know that his statement about we all being cosmic dust, dancing to a tune played an invisible player is true.
The Bible tells me,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1.
In other words God created the very cosmic dust that makes up the Earth the Universe and everything in it, including mankind.
God is that “invisible player” Einstein spoke of.
The apostle Paul speaking in Athens said,
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.  
And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.  
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.  
God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.”  Acts 17:24-27.
Mankind and the universe are God’s creation. But God did not make robots programmed to follow his every command. God gave man a freewill. In doing so he gave man the right to believe in him or not.
That being said, God asks each individual to believe in him by faith, but not blind faith, by informed faith.
God challenges the individual to look into the natural world and see how it is all interconnected. To see the intelligent design behind it all. Then decide where they will place their faith.
Thus the choice is yours. Do you believe in God or not?
Please think about it.

A Matter of Faith

A Matter of Faith
The writer of Hebrews tells us,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 

and 

certain of what we do not see.”  

                                  Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God,

 because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 

and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 

                                                    Hebrews 11:6

No one can or should even try to force anyone to believe in anyone or anything. Trying to force someone to believe in something produces false faith.
False faith is useless. Something God certainly dose not want from anyone.
I believe in order to have faith in God or for that matter anything one needs to look at the evidence. That to my way of thinking is why God inspired the Bible to be written.
The writers present the truth about God and ask the individual to believe them, or not.
The Bible however does not stop there. It encourages the reader to look around them. The Psalmist writing,

“The heavens declare the glory of God;

 the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 

                                                Psalm 19:1

The Psalmist encourages the reader to look at the world around them and see how perfectly made it is. From the greatest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle, all are arranged perfectly for life to exist as we know it. Showing a divine creator.
I firmly believe science done right will ultimately show the there is a creator behind it all.
That being said it still comes down to faith. Believers in God are in many ways like a scientist. A scientist postulates a theory from what he sees and has faith in that theory until it is proved or disproved.
Albert Einstein is a classic example. Some of his theories were never proven to be correct until after his death yet he believed they were right.
So it is with a Christian we believe we are right in our belief in God and Jesus Christ, even though we will never prove it for certain until the day we stand before God after our death. That faith however costs us nothing.
I like what Blaise Pascal said of faith in God. He wrote,
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists”. Blaise Pascal.
Please think about it.
