The Mysteries of God

As I was reading the in depth factual descripiton of how a child is concieved and developing in the womb I thought of a quote I read today, "If you can fully grasp it, it's not God." - Augustine. Although this process is merely one of God's creations, it truly amazes me how wonderful, deep, and mysterious God's creation is. We are understading more and more about it every day, yet there is an incomprehensable amount which we still do not know!

The chapter I read for class today (Childhood: A Multicultural View, chapter 2) talks about how we really don't understand how the cells develop and form different parts, which is the basic beginnings of humanity! We don't really understand gravity, time, or what the soul is. The more I learn about humanity and the world around us the more I feel like Isaac Newton when he said, "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier seashell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." ...after I let that quote sink in for a minute coming from one of the greatest mind of all time, I am simply floored by the majesty of our creator...


Oh, and on a side note, I may start blogging again, because this is more for myself than others and also because I can copy a lot of my schoolwork here (such as the above post).
