I have been reading with interest about the huge particle collider that has been built underneath the Alps. It appears that they hope to collide protons at such a speed that they can recreate the atmosphere that occurred immediately after "The big bang" which they theorize was the beginning of the universe. Many are fearful that tiny "black holes" may be a byproduct and at some point these black holes will suck the earth into them and thus the end of the world. All this is fascinating but the really cool part is this search for the ingredient that has remained elusive from scientist.The glue which a believing(I would imagine a believer) scientist accurately named,"The God Particle" this is the stuff they can't figure out. The glue that holds everything together. They even wrote a little rap song which addresses this question, here is a bit of it;
"But even all that matter can not explain “What holds all these stars together something else remains.”
I feel like a first grader or Horshack on, Welcome Back Kotter; OOooooohhhhh I know, I know , even I know the answer to this one, The answer is Jesus! Colossians 1:17 states,"And He is before all things and in Him all things consist." Other versions state,"In Him all things are held together."
Stephen Hawking, a great scientist and a seemingly non believer;certainly one who does not believe God is active in this universe anymore,in any way, bets they will not find the "God Particle". I do not know if the Lord will give man the knowledge to identify the "God Particle" existing in protons, but I know He promises if we seek Him, we will find Him. So my prayer to all is, that we seek Him. We do not need a multi-million dollar matter collider to do this; just come as you are...seeking Him and He promises you will find Him. Whole and Holy, Jesus Christ. The One who holds everything together. Just do it Mr. Hawking, you matter to Him. He is waiting for you and He loves you. The whole rest of the world too.
I love it when science and God collide.
"All things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made."
