Mysteries and Magnetism
I have been thinking a lot lately about faith and creation. You might ask what in the heck these two things have in common. Well, much brighter minds than I have recognized there are at least some principles—not theories, not applications, but bedrock basic, fundamental observations about the way things work—that had to be tuned just right in order to experience life as we know it. One basic, underlying principle is the force of magnetism. Magnetism is one of those mysteries that we don’t completely understand, but we see it in everything from the atom to the solar system. If magnetism had been a little weaker or a little stronger, it is very doubtful that you would be reading or listening to this right now because, frankly, you probably would not exist. As you look at a magnetic field, you see that it has arches and looks like the spindles of actin in a mitotic figure. Why are these two events so similar? I have no idea, but it does makes you stop and go hmmm. If you have any clues, let me know at observations@designedonpurpose.com.
