Just take a look at the marvel and miracle of your computer in front of you, the plastics and metals shaped and running on the electrons of electricity> Look at all the chemicals involved in the ink in the pen on your desk, the glues holding the laminates of your desk, the paint on the wall. Look and ponder at the miracle of the hands in front of you, typing and rolling a mouse around at the impulse of your brain, filled with memories, dreams, imagination, creativity, love, hate, sense of humor.
Look at the skin protecting you from other tiny lifeforms and harmful chemicals. Look at the other things like water, animal and vegetable sustinance you need to operate. The way hydrogen converts down the periodic table to supply you with everything you need.
Look at the ozone layer protecting you from the sun's UV. Look at the magnetic field protecting you from solar wind. Look at the proximity of the moon, providing a cycle of weather to keep the air and water moving. look at the tilt of the earth, providing seasons and temperature regulation. Look at the distance of the earth from the sun, it's near-perfection in the safe zone from our star. Look at the stable nature of our star and the timing of our lifeforms to its lifetime. Look at where this solar system is placed between spiral arms, away from many other dangerous collections of volotile stars. Look at the solar winds, providing a shield around our palnetary neighborhood. Look at the placement of the gas giants, pulling in or diverting many comets from collision course to us.
Look at yourself. You are amazing. We know what we are made of down to the last DNA strand, chromosome, atom, neutron, quark or whatever. We even know how we work to some extent. But no-one knows what makes you alive.
Even the way we are communicating using all these elements provided is miraculous when you really think about it. Two or more piles of elements and atoms with electrical currents and impulses pulling the strings, exchanging information over vast distances on our whim.
I find it hard to believe such beauty, design, order, complexity -all in such a concentrated but massive quantity, is anything less than purposeful and created.
I love life. I love the universe, I love everyone and everything in it, including every one of you. Amazing..just amazing.
