You know what's really cool about science?

God could have made the universe any way He wanted. He could have made things pretty random, without any strict laws governing everything. He didn't have to make all biological systems similar, or make gravity a universal force. He could have made each individual organism so unique that we could never understand them without studying every single one. Of course, if everything just developed randomly, this would kind of make sense.

But He didn't! God made the universe out of a very constrained amount of matter, with certain physical laws governing everything. We share so much of our DNA with fruit flies and bananas, and yet we are so unique. The very essence of the universe, how connected we all are, just sings of the Trinity. In a way (of course, nowhere near the awesomeness of the Trinity), we are all of one substance. We're all made up of basically the same stuff. We have the same amino acids and DNA sequences and chemical compositions. And yet, even though we are the same, we are all so so so so different. Each member of the Body of Christ is truly of the same body but different persons within that Body. God made the universe in a fashion that would sing of His glory, and He truly made us in His image, allowing our very essences as humans to reflect in a small but wonderful way His own divine nature, the Holy Trinity.

I just had one of those "aha" moments where I almost understand something that is so very obviously beyond my human comprehension, so I actually paused for a while trying to find words to describe it, but after a lot of thinking, the above paragraph was as close as I got. I shall leave you to ponder it while I study biology.

I'm praying for you!
