What Makes The Universe Tick?
The answer won’t be found in the “god particle”. But, that’s one of the goals of desperate scientists these days. They’ve built the most collosal machine ever in the hopes that their “Hadron Particle Collidor” will enable them to smash a few protons to bits and reveal their inner workings.
For years men have been trying to use mathematics to figure out how things work in the universe. Einstein realized that there was an enormous amount of potential energy stored inside of every atom. If this energy could be released, the energy could be harnessed and used in various ways. The result was the atom bomb and Nuclear power plants and Nuclear powered ships and submarines.
But math could only take them so far in their quest to understand how matter works. Many things could not be easily put into mathematical equations and formulae. The tiny particles that make up atoms are much more complicated than originally thought.
I appears that it will take massive machines and the energy of entire citys to probe deeper into this mystery. The mystery that manifests itself as the minute entity we call the, “atom” or the substance we call, “matter”.
Maybe they hope to determine what the primal essance of the universe was at it’s beginning. Is that what they refer to as the, “god particle”?
The reality is that man’s wisdom will always lead us AWAY from God and not towards Him. The only way we can ever come to the Creator of us and the universe we live in is to do so on His terms. His terms are readily available for our information and guidance in the Holy Scriptures which have been compiled under His direction by His Spirit.
Without His direction, we will always end up lost and confused. No amount of research or money can change that. How did the universe begin??
“For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation–if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.”
(Colossians chapter 1:16-23)
