There was a dying man lying in a hospital bed with his son holding his hand beside him. He asked his son to come close to him while he whispered in his ear. What he said was so profound, at first I did not understand what he meant. He said ... "At the very moment, when you raise your head off your pillow in the morning, you have all you need."
When you think about what he was saying, it takes on several dimensions. He wasn't just speaking about life, though that was intrinsic. He was referring to it's wonder, it's potential, it's origin, it's destiny and our individual perspective of it all. It is a wonderful gift, yet the appreciation of what life truly is...is not understood by any of us. The reason is that it ..."is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it." (Ps. 139) It is also colored by our flawed constructions and distorted by a society that rejects the unlimited power of a divine creator. Even those who come close to being enlightened miss the underpinnings of their own conclusions. Look at this video and maybe you can see what I'm trying to say. (I believe Mr. Greenberg is mistaken about his confident assertions of billions of years for the forces he describes, but the beautifully intricate microscopic world he shows us is evidence of our creator, not evidence of trillions of accidents ) Another video explores the uniqueness of each day of life and does express well the perspective of both the child and the aged.
If we add to these beautiful videos some observations of reality, we can gather more important perspectives. First; let's notice Mr. Greenberg's observation that no two grains of sand are exactly alike. How about no two human beings that look exactly alike and no two planets, moons or stars that are exactly alike? There are literally thousands of examples of things we see and those that we don't see that are not exactly alike. How could that possibly be accidental? Mankind can construct things that are identical with a great deal of precise planning. What a mixed up world this would be if that were not possible? Would it be humanly possible to construct a world where no two of the examples mentioned were exactly alike and still be fulfilling it's purpose and functioning every day with precision, No one would believe such a thing. That should be conclusive, especially when we go back to these videos and observe the swarms of precise actions that comprise the very existence of the world in which we live and breathe and survive. The Bible makes one simple statement that sums up all these things. "Every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God" (Hebrews 3:4)
