There Is A God

I’ve always been a science nerd. I love to learn.

But when I was younger, science intimidated me. Somewhere along the way, I came to believe that faith and science were enemies, pulling in opposite directions.

With age and experience, now I see it differently.
Science doesn’t disprove God.
It points to Him.

This world is too precise, too beautiful, too ordered to be an accident.
Planets circle stars.
Stars spin in galaxies.
Galaxies drift through the universe,
all pulling on each other in ways beyond our grasp.

A cosmic dance of order and beauty,
at a scale that is impossible to comprehend truly.
All set in motion by a Great Composer.

And the same wonder is written in us.
From life’s tiniest building blocks
to the intricate organs that keep us alive,
everywhere I look, creation whispers intelligent design.

So all this came from absolute emptiness on its own?
Or maybe emptiness was never empty after all.

Still, we don’t see the whole picture. Paul wrote, “Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face” (1 Corinthians 13:12).

I often think about how people in the time of Moses would describe something like DNA.

We now know it’s a code, written in four chemical letters, carrying the instructions for every living thing. A library inside each cell, far more complex than anything humans could design or build or even attempt to replicate.

But Moses didn’t have the words for a chromosome or a double helix. He just said, “In the beginning God created...”

That doesn’t make his story less accurate.
It makes it timeless.

The Bible doesn’t answer every how.
It reveals the Who.

And that’s enough for me.
I can keep asking questions.
I can stay curious.
And I can worship the God who spoke it all into being.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1).
