“For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6)
Who could have conceived light? And even if such a theoretical abstraction could have been comprehended, who could have brought it to pass? The sovereign creativity of God to bring forth what to us would have been unthinkable is staggering. This artistic endeavor of the Divine is used to illustrate the similar work of enlightening my heart. Isn’t the knowledge of God obvious? Isn’t the astounding wonder of God with us in Christ a given of Christian theology? Only because God turned on the switch in my heart.

Brilliant (pun intended) and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this, Mr. Outdeep. The timing is amazingly appropriate!, since I am presently struggling with a response to the quantum mechanics crowd, and their refusal to accept Creator as an essential component of the unknown variables in their great equation pertaining to the relationshieip between the Higgs Field and the Boson manifestation of matter.
I was just reading last night, for instance, about their mathematical attempts to explain the relationship between particles and waves in subatomic physics. It seems that electrons whirring around the proton express attributes of both particle and wave.
Part of the problem is the reality that the position of any given electron or quark is indeterminable, because as soon as you direct a light wave at it in order to assess its relative position, the light wave itself changes the electron’s position, because of the light’s energy impact!
I was just last night night contemplating this, and hoping to relate their dilemma to our God being an integral part of the equation, when I received the note about this posting of yours.
Thanks! You have literally shed some light on my dealing with this conundrum.
