A Consideration

By Paul Vrabel

When a person gets a cut, the white blood cells rush into action to heal the cut, and a scab is formed. The heart beats to keep alive the human body. All the complex systems that make up the human person do so in such accuracy. The earth rotates around the sun perfectly. The earth is not being terminated by the extraordinary flames of the sun; it is not close enough to be. Human beings do not float about in space due to the law of gravity.

Is this all the result of mere chance?

Whether it is or not, there seems to be good arguments for both sides.

The most convincing argument that I’ve heard from the side of “Atheism” is that as a result of infinite possibility, yes, such complexity can come into play. And it appears to make some sense to a certain degree. I mean, imagine just nothingness. Just complete nothingness. Are the chances not infinite of just about anything happening, including anything complex?

Yet, the very IDEA of this, in and of itself, can be nothing more than a figment of the imagination, a mere attempt of someone to explain what he or she does not know or/and understand.

The VERY IDEA of infinite possibility in and of itself can just be an idea that someone has, and an idea that can very likely be false.

Such complexity MAY be the result of an actual cause. The question would then be what the complexity is a RESULT of.

Such irrefutable laws,…that set forth into motion in this Universe. The rotation of the planets around the sun,…the growth of vegetables and fruits, the shocking but solidified, absolute complexities of the human body and systems at play within it, …the fact that we do not float around in space due to an absolute law that keeps our bodies on the planet earth. …Is something going on here besides just the “animal side” of us? Does “meaning”, actually even exist, possibly? Perhaps we’re souls actually visiting earth in an evolving process. On the other hand, perhaps eternal unconsciousness awaits us all, regardless of any matter our lives were lived. What is it that really goes on in this Universe, and Why?

What are the ACTUAL origins of planet earth? Are we where we’re at now as a result of molten rock that grew grass, trees, and had formed oceans on it out of mere chance and scientific details, or was all this formed for a purpose, or/and the result of a purpose?

Is what we have “scientific evidence” for, all that exists, or has skepticism possibly been taken to a degree where it should actually be considered “close-mindedness”?

"CHANCE", in and of itself, may very well just be an idea that was created in someone's mind in an attempt to explain something they have not comprehended, and possibly never will comprehend. The occurrence of the overall grand scheme of things may not be comprehended from the attempt of using scientific instruments and tools alone. After thousands of years of still attempts to explain the Universe, what may possibly still be learned? IS there anything actually significant enough of, and worthy enough of, our learning as the human race? Or are we merely limited to the likeness of animals, only to end up in eternal "sleep", no matter what kinds of lives we lived?

Greetings View578, and Image to the forum,

Ooh my, such ponderings of All-That-Is!

Chance, science, complexity... the apparent meanings and irrefutable laws of creation?

Or the majestic weavings of light, since the dawn of time!

There are many words I could write to share the discoveries of my own journey, and I would delight in sharing more with you.

However, may I first offer a link to the exceptional words of Gregg Braden in a 7 part YouTube video titled “The Science of Miracles” - Begin Part 1/7 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nKSq2tV1kE

Your ponderings have wondrous potentials for you to delight in, as you discover for yourSelf the value and meaning of YOUR reality.

2010 is the year of Fulfilment, Relationship, and Purpose... and your footsteps lead you true.

Again, welcome to the forum, I look forward to sharing and discussing more of the infinite wonders of creation with you.
Much love, Image

You probably have read that post in another forum. This isn't the only place I want it to be seen. : ) Feel free to share where else you read it.
