The Basic Element

What must God be thinking? I'll bet He laughs a lot. A few hundred years ago, scientists declared absolutely that the world was flat. I bet God laughed. A few decades ago, scientists declared that the atom was the smallest particle in nature. I bet God laughed. A few years ago, scientists declared that our solar system had nine planets. I bet God laughed. He laughed because He knew the world was round, that the atom itself was divisible, and that we can redefine the term to include or exclude heavenly bodies. But think about this: while the true laws of physics (God's laws) never change, our laws of physics are constantly changing as we make new discoveries every day. Could it be that in the future things will continue to change? Of course they will. How much? No one knows. But as they change, God will laugh more and more because eventually we will make the ultimate discovery that He alone never changes, that He is the basic element of all life. Don't misunderstand. I am not saying that God is in all of us or that God is in all of creation. I am saying that everything that was, that is, and that ever will be comes from Him. He created it all. He even created "change." So instead of resisting it, why not embrace it and look forward to making God laugh each time we make a new discovery.
