Greetings all again from the sunny D.R!
Indomitable Spirit: a spirit that cannot be subdued or overcome...Urban Dictionary
Two days ago I took my wife to the airport and put her on a plane bound for home. She returned home to be with our oldest daughter who is set to give birth to our first grandchild! Truly a momentous occasion for any family for the gift of a child is a blessing we are expected to enjoy; to celebrate as best we can with all the circumstances of our busy lives getting put on hold when birth occurs. At least for most of us.
While the gift of the birth of a child is a gift to the parents who conceived the child it is interesting to note that within that conception reigns a furious debate over just what it is that causes life to start. You see today scientific advancements have allowed man to look deep into the inner happenings of cellular development of all kinds of animals including humans but something mysterious still eludes the scientists.
WHAT starts the life of an animal or human and for that matter WHY?
Scientists have recently viewed cellular development of embryos with the aid of strong microscopes, and in "real Time" as it happens and they still have no answer as to What causes life to occur.
They speculate that the combination of the thousands upon thousands of cells forming in different ways and are triggered into development by many other factors, far too many factors for the average person to get their head around. But even as the scientists watch all this happen right in front of their eyes, they do not know why the heart begins to beat in our bodies. They cannot scientifically figure out what starts the life of an embryo. We know this because science cannot create life in the lab for surely they are trying.
Of course believers know the answer but we need not consume our lives with trying to understand the HOW.
Mainstream science has classically demonstrated the conundrum of trying to prove that all life is a product of one accident after another, and that we are the result of course of millions of years of evolution as one prior species develops into the next. Through scientific investigation man has determined that the odds of life today, in any form, whether it be a simple plant to the complex human, these odds are so astronomically impossible that there has to be something behind it all. Something has to be manipulating the experiment in order for life to have occurred. Science has shown that Mathematics cannot be incorrect, therefore their solution of the creation of life to be an accident is mathematically impossible. However the scientists of today are not yet ready to abandon their theories yet, for to abandon them would mean they would have to admit that God definitively exists. Or at least something like God.
Do any of you see the irony here?
Life is a gift, the life of a child conceived by parents is a blessing. But each parent provides only the physical evidence required to start life, the two cells that come together and join in a miracle that even science has no answer for. Once those first two cells join and begin to double and double again, the point where life enters is an equally bigger mystery. Somewhere between conception and the first heartbeat a greater thing is applied; something bigger than science can explain. Bigger because Spirit is infinite, without form, and without time. It has to be Spirit because man has already examined and determined all the chemicals, all the amino acids that make up DNA, all the chromosomes of DNA that determine hair color, height, eye color, skin color and shoe size for that matter. The trigger is still missing from science. There are no wires connected to each embryo to some invisible minute battery inside every mother that somehow "jump-starts" the heart.
Life happens because God touches each embryo with His Indomitable Spirit, His Spirit that He places inside each one of us; His Spirit that touches everything alive in our world around us; His Spirit that then stays only with humanity after life begins. We know this because humans are the only sentient species on the earth, the only species that can reason and produce results from reason. His Spirit stays within because this is the only way God can talk to us, through His Spirit within us.
C'mon you scientists, when are you going to admit that there is no solution other than God? The Philosophy of Logic dictates that there can only be one solution to life, because even logic dictates that all life starts in some way, but it all starts!
Rest assured that science will likely continue to ignore the obvious truth and press on looking for the needle in the hay stack. As for me and my family, we will enjoy the blessing that God has given us in the gift of our grand-daughter. Liliko Geyer/McMullen will be born soon, (Due on August 16, 2012) and will already be filled with the Indomitable Spirit of God within her. May the Indomitable Spirit continue to inspire her, encourage her and empower her to be all that God has willed for her; for this is the truth of WHY we have life, since the Indomitable Spirit of God has most certainly touched all of us first, for you are alive with the same Indomitable Spirit as well.
