One of my favorite episodes of life, was when science
realized that quarks exist only when they are being
looked at. To me, this was like the universe winking
back at man. The new physics has turned science
upside down, and it'sveryrefreshing.It has produced
a new kind scientist that perhaps, is not so eager to
rush headlong into arrogance.
Albert Einstein said: "The fairest thing we can
experience is the mysterious.". "He who knows it
not, can no longer wonder, no longer feel
amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed out
candel." The loss of wonder is costly. For one thing,
it promotes pride, because we think we can explain
everything. Actually, the more science discovers,
the more wonderful creation becomes.
All honest scholars admit their ignorance and
wonder at how much there is to learn. Today a
loss of wonder has helped to make us shallow
and hallow.
Wonder and Worship of God go together, and leads
to depth, helping us to put daily life into perspective,
and perspective helps us to determine true values.
This may explain why so many in todays society
wants entertainment instead of enrichment and a "good time" rather than a good life.
"I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; Marvelous are Thy works; and
that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:14
