“There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.”

D.L. Moody

A question was raised to me the other day…

“Will someone explain to me how this fits into the whole “free will” argument….. if all my days have already been written before one of them came to be, how, exactly, am I suppose to write them myself?”

Psalm 139: 15, 16 (New International Version)

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

I thought I would share my response, and see what everyone else thought…

“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense”

LHC. Otherwise known as the Large Hadron Collider. 

It is a machine “having installed more than 1,600 magnets, most half the length of a basketball court and weighing more than 30 tons… The job of the magnets is to nudge the beams of particles to bend ever so slightly around the ring. Lots of particles moving at nearly the speed of light have only one desire in life: to keep moving straight ahead. So the bend needs to be gradual—thus the 17-mile circumference of the ring… When the particles collide, they’ll produce showers of debris as their energy gets transformed into mass… two of the four major experiments that the LHC will perform are capable of recording the detritus of the disintegrating Higgs,” (Higgs is the alternative name given to what has been coined as the God Particle) “The particle—or rather its debris—will show up in a detector’s computers, found by sorting through massive amounts of data measured in petabytes—thousands of trillions of bits… “

In short, it is a “giant new atom smasher—they want nothing less than to crack the code of the physical universe,” so said one caption from National Geographic.

Man, (and in this case, Scientists) has once again made thier feeble attempt in playing God.
