God. God is Everything. Every second, Every atom, everywhere, everytime. It's God. What is God? Who is God? This is something that we wish to know. A long time ago I once learned that there are two ways of knowing something; mentally and emotionally. For instance, many people know mentally that their parents love them. After all, when parents mention that fact as many times as they do, it tends to be true. But it might be that some don't know emotionally that their parents love them. Not until they see tears in their eyes when they see you stand at the altar, or when they are not in a bad mood when one of them changes your soiled diaper. So, when I say that there are two ways to know something, mentally and emotionally, you know that I'm right. Meaning that people can know of God's existence one way, but not the other. The two "Knowings" of God's existence are so distant from one another. One is knowing from the brain, the other from the heart.

This brings up a topic called Intelligent Design. I first became aware of Intelligent Design when I had read a book called "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Intelligent Design and Darwinism." In it, the author brings up facts about this world (and to an extent, this universe) that clearly suggest an intelligent creator. Take this for example. If a vehicle started driving in Cedar Falls, Iowa and managed to reach Los Angeles, California, chances are that there was someone in the vehicle directing the steering wheel, pushing on the accelerator the right amount, pushing on the brake the right amount, etc. Surely, there was a driver, and he/she was directing the car. I know, I know, I shouldn't call you Shirley. Anyways, the driver was intelligently directing the car to its destination, just like how, I believe, God directs anything and everything to its destination. There are elements in life that scientifically suggest Intelligent Design (ID). One huge component of ID is organisms that are irreducibly complex. This type of organism has multiple parts working together that if even one part is removed, the entire system falls apart. One common example used is a mouse trap with all of its parts that together make something useful, but without, make something useless. Another example that I came up with on my own is the bicycle. Take away the bike chain, the pedals, the tires, the handlebars, whatever and you don't really have much of anything useful. The reason why a bike is in fact so useful is because someone who knew what is necessary for a bike designed it....intelligently. A well-known irreducibly complex organism is the Flagellum. It has a built in "rotor" that it uses to propel its body through the water that it swims with. Now, Flagella are microscopic, so you can imagine that they don't move very fast. But what if a flagellum were say, as big as a boat? Well, then that flagellum would swim roughly 60,000 miles per hour!!!! Holy cow! The reason why, is because the flagellum has multiple protein parts working together as an irreducible complex system. The one and only Harvard Professor Dr. Berg has referred to the organism as the most efficient machine in the universe. This is just one of many signs of ID. The aforementioned book is a great read, and I hope, worth your time. And it could very well convince you (or just reaffirm the fact) that God exists. Meaning that now you mentally know that God exists. But what about emotionally? Remember, there's a big difference. And, to be honest with you, I don't know that God exists emotionally nearly as much as I know that God exists mentally. I just wish that I had some answers on how to solve that. I mean, it's a beautiful world and I'm glad that God is looking out for me so well, but it might be that I don't feel his presence as much as I should. Don't worry, I'm working on it. Until we meet again, God Bless.
