subject: The Missing Link to the Foundation of Faith Today [print this page] Here in the South, it is an expectation to believe because it is "The Word." However, with the generations' progress, awareness of science by youth make this "blind" belief difficult, truth of what is evident must coincide with Biblical claims more than ever before. Unfortunately, this truth of the commonplace understanding of the physical universe creates the loss for opportunity of peace that can only come from faith.
To know the fullness of inner peace that is faith, one today must possess knowledge of truth. Truth is the fitting of the pieces that are the perfect symmetry of the science of this world and indeed, the universe. Knowing the perfection that is the science of the world is the beginning of understanding that solidifies faith. Seeing this big picture, understanding its delicate balance and the fact that the slightest "tilt of the scale" can destroy it all make modern humanity wonder; what did it and keeps it whole? This curiosity in turn renews appreciation for a divine creation.
The perfect science that exists does just that; it simply exists. Science does not invent anything concerning the natural order of Earth it merely explains the events, when possible. The creation of labels or new words as explanations for inherent realities is the function of science. Observations are of events that always have occurred without outside influence. Therefore, manipulation of natural occurrences, preferably for the betterment of humanity, is the purpose of science.
The laws of thermodynamics explain that all things share but never create energy "from thin air," for the energy remains constant through its redistribution during natural and human produced reactions. The point is that these things occur and that they are perfect, balanced. As in the laboratory with the performance of experiments to prove theory, the process of the "experiment of Earth" was a creation. It had to be; it is too perfect not to be.
To know this perfection to be real, to begin to understand the science of the creation of the Earth is to begin the walk towards faith. With discoveries and realizations that one finds along this path is to begin to appreciate the magnificence of the creation and therefore The Creator. Faith is simple with the knowledge of the truth in the first page of the Bible. That however is for another writing to explore.
