An Invisible Player?
“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 Albert Einstein believed in God. He was Jewish so I assume he at least learned of God in some way.
I think his statement that I quoted above has relevance. We do indeed “dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.”
The tune I believe is life and the invisible player God.
I believe God created the universe and everything in it. I believe it because the universe is governed by it seems immutable laws. The mathematics of the universe seems to be perfect.
Scientist may not have all of the mathematical formula for it yet but I believe there is.
Thing that seem random may not be all that random. We don’t have computers big enough for example to chart the effect of the gravity from all its sources on all the bits of space material out there.
If it were possible to do so astronomers would have an incredible tool to predict the movement of things is space.
As I understand it, science is still trying to figure out a ‘grand unification theory.’
I believe one day that if science is done correctly and given enough time they will find that there is such a theory. That there is a mathematical formula to predict even what we now call random.
I believe this because I believe the words of Genesis and the words of the Apostle John,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:1-3,14
How long it took to create the universe matters little to me. Whether it took sixty billion years, sixty million, sixty thousand or six days. Means nothing. Time means nothing to God. He lives in eternity. It’s men that tend to get hung up on time, perhaps because we have so little of it available to us.
It takes more faith as far as I am concerned to say there is no God than to believe there is a God.
I firmly believe that our society without the morality God has imparted to every man could not have survived.
Abba Hillel Silver wrote,
“Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.”
Abba Hillel Silver
Think about it.
