Libra: Balance: God’s Tool

Libra: Balance: God's Tool

 

   The fluid levels in our body are complex and manage many different things and they all contribute to achieving a condition of equilibrium. Blood pumps from the heart through veins carrying oxygen and nutrients. Those nutrients fuel antibiotic systems, power muscles, and give us energy all at the same time. Our bodies function as an intricate machine. Three separate systems govern our bodies at one time: the central nervous system, the respiratory system, and the muscular system. This complex structure leads me to believe that mere chance and mutation to adapt could not have been responsible for our development. Darwin, pointed out that animals within a species varied depending on location and that animals survival systems, which are closely related items. But Darwin did not come to the conclusion that we evolved from monkeys, rather that we adapt to our environment and take on characteristics unusual to our normal behavior in order to survive current circumstances. Could there not be the possibility that God designed our veins and determined the substance suitable to flow through them? Who else then thought of such things which we take for granted and gave us life? I realize that this is asking, "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" But that’s not what I want you to consider.

    In this case, we must accept that, if we are to be rational about this, the Earth and everything that would exist upon it, was formed through an extensive process of creation. In the execution of this process one can clearly see the necessity for a guiding hand. Certainly, a single explosion in space could not predict or stimulate the necessary events to consider the role mammals would eventually play in preserving and endangering the food chain. Neither could it predict the need for animals capable of experiencing and expressing emotions during the years of racial integration. Only a Creator, someone with foresight, could see the need for spiders, insects, and pests of other sorts. This embodiment we refer to as "Mother Nature," I believe, is merely a reference to the Creator in politically correct terms. It is easier for us to accept the non-personal entity of nature but less practical. Balance, in an experiment, is achieved by an outside influence which is observing an experiment and controlling the conditions of that experiment. I’ll say it again. Balance is a tool, it’s the way we can know without religion telling us that there is a God.
