God Creates Order

The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding he established the heavens;
by his knowledge the deeps broke open,
and the clouds drop down the dew. Proverbs 3.19-20

There has been a tendency for Christianity and Science to be at odds with each other. Throughout history, the church has made the mistake of demonizing scientific discovery. This should not be. Instead, as the scientific community reveals a breakthrough in the order of the universe, they are adding depth to the wonder of God. They are revealing a new layer to the care and concern that God has for His creation.

God did not create the world in chaos. He created a beautiful and complex system that we continue to explore and be in awe of. The world works because He created it to work. The reason that scientists have not figured it all out is because He created it amazingly complex, and the only reason that they can continue to go deeper is because of its order. Rather than fighting against the scientific system, Christians should be worshipping the God who created it.

When the medical community discovers a new aspect of the human body, you should thank God. Not only for creating the system, but for designing the human brain to understand and comprehend what it is seeing. God has created how you experience Him, and you can only know Him as He chooses to reveal Himself. He is in control of all things, even the way that you see Him.
