The Invisible Player

The Invisible Player
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 mightiest 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.
And the Bible tells me,
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7. 
Mankind is God’s creation. That being said God in making mankind did not make robots. He made individuals with a freewill to do as they wish.
That includes the right to believe in God or not to believe in Him. I and billions of people like me believe God exists.
I believe in God not out of blind faith. I believe in God because of what I see around me. I have looked at what the Bible says and what science says and find no contradiction. Both point to a creator.
The choice however is up to you. Each individual must decide what they believe and ultimately live with the consequence of their decision.
Please think about it.

Cosmic Dust

Cosmic dust

“Human beings vegetables  or cosmic dust. We all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.” Albert Einstein.
Einstein’s quote here is right. We all ultimately are made from cosmic dust. We are what I believe is the ultimate result of God’s creation.
I believe Einstein’s invisible player is God. It is God who created the heavens and the earth. Whether God did it in six twenty-four hour days or did it over six billion years does not effect my belief there is a God.
In fact when I look at the world around me and how perfect it is. I see God’s handiwork.
Everything on this earth and in the universe in general has order. Scientist are finding that there is mathematical formulas for everything. I believe if done correctly they will one day discover one mathematical formula that links all things in the universe.
I believe the psalmist who wrote,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1.
Do you?

Human Beings

Human Beings
Some one has said,
“Our bodies are formed from the dust of the earth; our souls are of the essence of God. We alone can look at a physical world and see spiritual life and beauty.”
Martin Luther King jr. said,
“Then, finally, help us to realize that man was created to shine like stars and live on through all eternity.”
Albert Einstein said,
“Human beings vegetables  or cosmic dust. We all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.”
                                             Albert Einstein.
I believe the dance is that of life and the player of the tune is God.
I have never been able to buy into the theory that life ends when the body dies. I have always believed that the essence that makes us human, our Soul will live on throughout eternity. Every culture that has ever existed, and the majority of people that have ever lived all have believed in an afterlife. Have believed in a God.
The question to me has always been where will you spend eternity. Will it be with God or apart from God.
As a Christian I believe Jesus said two important things,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                              John 3:16-18
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 
John 14:6
I believe God gives us a Choice. To accept Him or reject him the choice is yours. There is no in between.
C. S. Lewis said of Jesus,
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” 
                                                                                                             C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.
So basically Lewis is saying. If you accept Jesus as the Son of God, then you must accept His teachings. If so you in order to get to heaven you must accept Him into your life as Lord and Saviour.
Please think about it.
