Today was the last day of the quarter and all I have left is 3 finals to complete next week. As I was driving home from PSU today, I was crossing the I 405 bridge and couldn't help but marvel at how much knowledge had to be applied in order to make something like that stand. I was already reflecting on everything I had learned this quarter and am just in awe at how our minds work. They have endless capacity- you can't learn too much, its impossible to fill your mind to the brink to where it's impossible to expand. It's impossible to even fathom all of the things that exist. When I realize this it makes me want to know everything- to know how every little detail in the Universe plays its part: even more I just want to imagine what God was thinking when He created all of these detailed mechanisms. How did He come up with all of these things?? This mentality points to the Creator of everything because I realize that anything I know is of no comparison to what God does. I cannot create anything new- any idea I come up with is solely based on what He has provided and already put in place. Our lives completely depend on all of these ideas- how we build bridges, what our clothes are made of, what we eat, even how we manage our money. Seeing all of the knowledge out there just makes me see that none of it is possible without an ultimate Designer. I cannot fathom how people can think that all of these complex and intricate ideas and laws of nature came into place by accident- that's absurd! On the other hand- how do you use your knowledge? Does your knowledge serve to puff you up and make yourself a god in your own eyes?- Or does it point to the Creator of all of this substantial knowledge and elaborate concepts that we base all of our lives on? I encourage you guys to just pick one thing (an airplane, a clock, a bridge: or even ideas such as gravity, mathematics, and thermo magnetics) and analyze it to the deepest detail. How was it made? What knowledge about the Universe was required to come up with that concept? What purpose does it serve in our lives? But ultimately- when you realize how complex and detailed everything is- attribute your awe not to the person's name on the copy write- but the Ultimate Creator- without whom it wouldn't have ever even existed. He is the source of all knowledge.
