Big Bang some more ...



So, once again the Hadron Collider is coming back on line. I blogged about this about a year ago because I was quite excited about the possibilities. Unfortunately, some flaws in the prototype showed up the first few times it was fired up.

But after a year's worth of repairs and a 'bizzilion' more dollars, many in the scientific community are 'buzzing' again. There is also great interest among scientific theologians who seek to merge their belief in God with geological evidence for an "old earth".

Specifically, the interest among these scientific theologians is in what has been called, "The God Factor" within Big Bang Theory. Consistent with classic Design Theory, the God Factor would suggest that a Designer (capital D) hurled the heavenly bodies into space with such precision so as to survive millions of years without major collisions and eminent destruction. Questions about THAT have perplexed many astronomers and mathematicians for a while now.

I'm no physicist or mathematician. In fact, I wasn't sure I could spell "physicist" until just now. But an answer to this question about the precision of the cosmos points to what is called by people like me, a miracle ... certainly something "supernatural".

So, will these experiments produce undeniable evidence for God? We shall see! For me, it would just be one more evidence for what I already believe to be true. God exists ... OH YEA!

The Lady with Three Hairs

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

------------------------------

Somewhere in grieving the loss of a loved one we must begin again seeing our glass "half full" - not half empty. Naturally speaking, dying is part of living. We have little control in the aging process, and ultimately NO control of immortality. Seems to me, most of the matter has to do with maintaining a good attitude and positive outlook.

So today I choose to Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly....... Leave the rest to God.

Carpe Diem!
