What Do We Really Know?
We know we exist and, somehow, we began. We know the world around us and how a lot of it works. We know there is time and it had a beginning, at least for us. But how did we get here? What happened before we began? This is the part we can all relate to: We just don't know. Given a choice between God and the big accident, I'll choose God. I don't see much evidence that would persuade me to believe that for a zillion eons, nothing happened. Then, all of a sudden, everything happened. Science doesn't like to consider that Someone might have made it happen. Someone who is not subject to time or to space or to a lack of knowledge. The God I picture created the universe we know. He set up the rules it must follow. To try to find God is a hilarious and vain undertaking. How would we sense Him? Are we equipped to perceive God with our feeble, created senses? Can we see or hear or touch or smell or taste God? It is funny to me that the world is turning out to be incredibly more complicated than scientists of a hundred years ago could ever have imagined. Yet many of them vehemently reject even the possibility that a supernatural being could have played a part in our lives. It is easier for the big accident to have happened than that a Being who knows no space or time to have created all things in a timely and logical manner. Isn't that funny?
