Science And God's Word

 Colossians 1:16-17

For by Him all things were created. ... All things have been created by Him and for Him.
...In Him all things hold together. 

Jesus is here said to be the Creator Who made everything.  

This is an all-inclusive statement. If "everything" was created by Him, then He cannot be a created Person because He could not have created Himself. 

And He is the One Who holds it all together. 

In 2012 scientists confirmed the existence of a boson particle named after Peter Higgs, who first proposed its possibility back in 1964.
Two fundamental attributes of a Higgs boson are that it has even parity and zero spin. This means it is the first elementary scalar particle discovered in nature. (From Wikipedia.)
It is ubiquitous among all matter as a field that would explain why other fundamental constituents of matter have mass. It is the first principle that "holds it all together." 

And initial illustrations of this particle had it in the shape of a cross! 

However, this configuration upset those who refuse to acknowledge Jesus, so they have taken this idea into other shapes, in order to delete the Cross from Science!

These are the closest illustrations to a cross I've been able to find online, all the more obvious ones have been scrubbed. 

They have complicated the illustration from the simple picture I saw several years ago, which had the paths of the pieces winding around each other in beautiful symmetry. 

So Jesus is the force that gives existence to everything. He is our Lord God Almighty. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8). 

Now in the preface to a new collection of essays and lectures called "Starmus," Stephen Hawking is warning that the particle could one day be responsible for the destruction of the known universe.

Hawking is not the only scientist who thinks so. The theory of a Higgs boson doomsday, where a quantum fluctuation creates a vacuum "bubble" that expands through space and wipes out the universe, has existed for a while. However, scientists don't think it could happen anytime soon.
"Most likely it will take 10 to the 100 years [a 1 followed by 100 zeroes] for this to happen, so probably you shouldn't sell your house and you should continue to pay your taxes," Joseph Lykken, a theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, said during his lecture at the SETI Institute on Sept. 2. "On the other hand it may already happened, and the bubble might be on its way here now. And you won't know because it's going at the speed of light so there's not going to be any warning."

When scientists are honest, and not trying to take God out of their thinking, they come up with how God actually did things, and how He says He will complete His Plan. 

Jesus, God's Son, the Second Person in the Trinity that is our One God, is the One who has taken responsibility for the Universe. 

That is why He is our Lord God Almighty and our Messiah, Savior, and Redeemer. He is our Omnipotent King and the Bridegroom of the bride, which is His Church.

He gave Moses the Law and the Prophets their predictions, to tell us what He would do when He came to Earth the first time, to be our Lamb of God; and the second time, to be our King. 

And He told John how everything would come about at the end of the Last Days, so we could be prepared for what we will be facing.

And even how He would reign over this World for a thousand years, then how the whole Universe will end, with a glimpse of the New Universe that will follow it.

This is all so wondrous and amazing! I love Science and I love God's Word, and I especially love when Science explains a little of God's Plan! True Science has always supported Scripture, and in the past many Christian Scientists used it to lead them to their scientific discoveries. 

O my Father, I am amazed with Your ways! You have thought of everything, nothing escapes Your notice, not the least tiny particle or wave or field of energy. Not one little drop or hair or sparrow. No detail is too small for Your scrutiny, and no planet or system or Universe is larger than You. You fill all and are in all. And all is in You. 

We are Your imagination. If You weren't thinking about us, we would not be. 

O Father, Your intent for Mankind was for us to be Your own family, to be Your sons and daughters, Your princes and princesses, to assist You in Your daily ministrations to Your Creations, all the Universes You have in mind. 

We will sit with You on Your Throne, ruling with You as kings and queens, enjoying Your Presence and rejoicing in You and everything You do.

Father, until that Day, continue to prepare us for all You know is in our future. Strengthen us to learn the lessons of this school we are in, and to pass the tests of our faith and trust in You. 

Teach us how to love our neighbors as You have Loved us, to exude that lovely fragrance of Life to draw others to You. And to not waver in our positivity in loving even our enemies who work against us. 

Father, I expect that The End will be coming soon. And I want to remain strong in Your strength, as my flesh is weak. Hold my hand firmly, Father, so I won't pull away, or wander off, or turn off to the right or to the left, or to run ahead of You, or lag behind. 

Help me to step each step in Your footsteps, and to do all the works You have planned ahead of Time for me to do to accomplish my part of Your great Plan of the Ages. 

And when Your great Tapestry of Time is completed, we will rejoice in its beauty and symmetry and colors and shades and music. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
