Hello, My Name is: Creator

Our God is a great God

Our God is an awesome God

Our God is a BIG God as well.

The seven days of creation were definitely one of the first stories we're taught in sunday school. How God made light, the heavens, the earth, the sea and sky, the plants, the animals, and finally humans. He created all this for us and for our use.

It took me a while to grasp this fully, but now in grade 12, and learning science, it really opened my mind towards our God as the creator. Biology, Physics and Chemistry, all consist of how things work, how things came to be, and it was through those lessons at school that truly helped me realize how great our God is. What i found was most interesting was being able to see how our God thought of all this.

Biology. In our stomachs, we have many gastric acids, with a low pH, making them extremely acidic. These acids are used to help breakdown the food in our bodies, but when they get into our intestines for water and nutrients to be absorbed, shouldnt the acids eat away at our intestines? Our bodies are designed that when food is digested and moves into the intestines, bicarbonate ions are released to neutralize the acids.

Chemistry. Red Shift. If we look at all the stars, they are red shifted, which means they are moving away. From this we can predict that in previous years, they were much closer than they are now. What does this mean? That means that one point in time, all these stars were much closer, making it one of the biggest evidences for the big bang theory. But if you think about it, the big bang was an explosion, which needed energy. Where did this massive energy come from? It had to be a greater force, from a greater being.

Physics. The Force of Friction is always something we've understood and learnt, that if you slide anything across a surface, it will eventually stop due to friction. Learning physics was so complex, so difficult to calculate from the coefficient of friction, to how light is polarized to watching videos on string theory. It shows how difficult and complex and how detailed life is, since physics explains why everything does what it does. Energy, forces, all these tiny details that God thought of and put together to make our world into what it is today. Isnt that just incredible?

Our God is an awesome God, he has created everything on this earth. The grass on the ground, the clouds in the sky, the plankton in the fish, your friends, your parents, and your teachers. From a science point of view, we try to understand everything, how everything works, but the truth is, we cant. If we could, we could understand God, but he is much greater and our little incompetent minds do not have the capacity to do so.

We're talking about a God that not only made earth, but the enormous universe. He wants to be your Lord, is there not a greater person to put your trust and faith in?

Job 26:7-14

⁷ God stretches the northern sky over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.
⁸ He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
⁹ He covers the face of the moon,
shrouding it with his clouds.
¹⁰ He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
he set the boundary between day and night.
¹¹ The foundations of heaven tremble;
they shudder at his rebuke.
¹² By his power the sea grew calm.
By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.
¹³ His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
¹⁴ These are just the beginning of all that he does,
merely a whisper of his power.
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”

What Was He Thinking?!

Just thinking about it now, since i didnt know what to write, that there are so many things we do not notice, but shows our God's greatness and complexity. I think i've said this before, but the things we learn in school, when you think of it with God in mind, its actually fascinating.

Biology for example. I remember learning last year about all the different systems, and specifically the digestive system, which is amazing. I learnt that in the stomach, its extremely acidic to break down foods, but have you ever wondered why it doesnt eat away at your intestines when it enters? Its because sodium bicarbonate is released to neutralize the acids to avoid it from damaging your insides. Isnt that just mind blowing?

Take Chemistry too, i was just studying it and we're currently learning about theories, and its amazing to see how much effort, time and money we're putting into science, just trying to understand how the earth moves, why things happen, but in the end we havent explained everything yet. Specifically, we were learning about atomic spectra, which shows that each element and molecule has its own unique absorbence, and through these kinds of tests we can determine purity, its kind, and its concentration. Is it not crazy that God put that much thought into this world we live in?

Finally Physics. This one's a big one. Just learning about waves, how they bend, reflect and interfere, or how gravity works, or the theories of relativity, there's just SO MUCH to learn on this earth and its astounding to know that Our God thought of all these ideas and made it oh so wonderfully complex, but yet, it all works.

Sometimes, its frustrating to understand, and we complain about stress and work, but if you think of it in a different perspective you'll come to realize how intelligent, creative, and wonderful our Creator is. He definitely lives up to him name. Praise God!
