Where are we going?

Sometimes you wonder where scientists are trying to go. I saw a report of ‘neutrinos’ which are studied by physicists, particularly those specialising in particle, experimental and astro physics. Apparently the study of these neutrino particles will help humanity to understand the origin of matter. Please stay with me and see where we go with this!

There are neutrinos and anti-neutrinos and if they come together the particles will destroy each other and then you are left with nothing.  It seems that by studying matter and anti-matter these physicists are seeking to find the reason why we are here and the purpose of the universe. Somehow my first thought about matter and anti-matter is, “does it really matter?” But these scientists are spending billions of pounds on developing vast underground chambers or strange constructions like the one in Japan, and taking up the brain power of literally thousands of white-coated boffins to find the answer.

I am simply led in my Bible to Genesis 1 which says quite clearly, “In the beginning God …..”  Now, to me I know that God has the purpose and the plan and that it includes you and me.  You see, He created the universe and our world in a majestic display of power and purpose,  culminating with a man and a woman made in His image. God’s desire is to have a people set apart, not only to worship Him, but also to have a close relationship of love with Him.

As we know, mankind tends to think it knows better than God and so we end up even today with nation attacking nation, destruction, humanitarian crisis and people living in fear, even fear of tomorrow.

I think, maybe, that some of these scientists are not looking in the right direction. Yes, we
have the skill of scientists to develop medicine for instance, but do we need to see galaxies 23 million light years away? 1 Chronicles 29:11 says, “Yours O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty. Everything in Heaven and earth is Yours.”

Verses like these offer a glimpse into the immense power, glory and love of God. They
encourage believers to recognise God’s greatness, and live in awe of His majesty and
sovereignity. I say to these physicists – “keep on going sorting out matter and anti-matter
and I pray that one day you will discover the real answer”.
