Since Time Began

Since time began, when man and woman of Earth' came to be, there has existed within the human soul, the deepest inborn need to worship a higher power. From the beginning, all human beings, scattered in different parts of our world developed a belief in God even without any connection to each other. This belief lives within each human heart, and we know inside that, something we cannot truly understand exists— our Creator, our Maker, our Higher Power— This feeling engulfs our soul and directs us on our path of faith as humans, a species like no other. Our God is worshiped in many different ways, but still, He is that One God that created us all. We feel it deep inside. The visions that we create for God, are many, and we can only make those visions based on our limited senses and ways to describe what our senses interpret. A visual of our God upon a throne sitting in Heaven is a man-made vision to satisfy our limited senses. The Bible verse that declares He created all in just six days, cannot be taken literally for, just as in poetry, it is a metaphor and six days cannot be interpreted as a measure of God’s time. Our interaction with God is personal, and we may sometimes feel it is a one-way conversation. But He listens…we may not always understand it, or know how to interpret His interaction with us, but it does happen that our prayers are answered— not always the way we wish—sometimes, later we understand. However, we must remember—God has granted us all Free Will— our choice to choose the paths we walk is, right or wrong, our personal responsibility. The feeling that God exists, for most, is deeply ingrained in our human consciousness, and this is true because humans have always expressed their knowledge of Him in so many different ways, and Those ways are limited to our means of expression. So we must go beyond our mental or visual interpretation of what God is and to simply identify that deep emotion inside— that special warmth that makes us feel somehow connected to our Creator. ~The magnificent order of the Universe~ ~The magnificent order of our Galaxy~ ~The magnificent order of our Solar System~ ~The magnificent order of our atmosphere~ ~The magnificent order of our Earth’s oceans and continents~ ~The magnificent order of our Seasons~ ~The magnificent order of procreation and life for us as humans~ ~And all life as we know it~ Perhaps these are taken for granted, but when we really think— When we look around and see the beauty all around us— How can we not know and believe in God?

that last part is SO good. For me, that is one of the BEST arguments for God. To deny God is to not even grasp the order of things in this world. I think a person can be a scientist and believe in God even more!
