A few years
ago, my father told me that one day cellphones would fit in your pocket,
computers would fit in a briefcase and satellite dishes would fit in an attic.
Dick Tracy had a watch he talked into and Captain Kirk spoke into a
communicator and some thought “yah, that could happen” while in reality many
thought it far fetched. You need to understand, when dad told me about these
things, computers where monstrous things, cellphones were a briefcase and satellite
dishes were ten to twelve feet across. Dick Tracy was a cartoon and Star Trek
had furry puppets called tribbles that no one could believe. Some tested the
realms of possibility and today we have cellphones that not only fit in your
pocket but could also run the original lunar lander on its own. Every house in
Sundre has a satellite dish on its wall and I regularly get phone calls on my
smart watch. There is nothing wrong with testing the bounds of the known but we
also have be open to the fact that when the result is an answer we do not
believe or do not want to embrace, it does not mean it is wrong.
Here is an
example for you to consider. Scientist claim the big bang theory explains the
start of the universe. An intense explosion dispersed great amounts of energy
and debris into the nothingness of space and it somehow became thousands if not
millions of planets, stars and particles of space debris that became the known
universe. I will not argue the theory but will ask for clarification because I
wish to test the theory myself. According to Chemteam.info, the following
information was provided on their site:
There
is a scientific law called the Law of Conservation of Mass, discovered by Antoine
Lavoisier in 1785. In its most compact form, it states: matter is neither
created nor destroyed.
In
1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy. In its most
compact form, it now called the First Law of Thermodynamics: energy is neither
created nor destroyed.
In
1907, Albert Einstein announced his discovery of the equation E = mc2 and,
as a consequence, the two laws above were merged into the Law of Conservation
of Mass-Energy: the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is
constant.
My question
is this; where did this vast amount of mass-energy come from? Science wants us
to believe but I want to test the bounds. Science suggests that the universe
expands and contracts over and over but even if this is the case, where did the
original mass-energy come from? May I suggest to scientist around the world to
consider Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth.” While there are many who would suggest
scientists looked to the big bang theory as a test of Creationism, there are
many who are now looking at intelligent design as being the answer to the question
“where did it all start?” Don’t believe me, google it.
God is not here to make it tough. Mankind has, however,
found new ways to muddy the water so much that people are open to the
possibility that we live in a locker in some train station in a land of giants.
This Sunday, we will take a break from Ps 119 and delve into what we truly
believe. We invite you to join us if you can at 10:30 MST on Sunday or watch
live online on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MainAvenueFellowship/ )
or view it afterwards on our website (www.mainavefellowship.blogspot.ca).
