Well to start this story I have to say I grew up in a a very loving home with faith a father and a very strong mother. I had a very close family, my Grandfather was a Minister and was loved by all. That man along with my hero my father taught me so much about Religious beliefs and how being good to each other was a way of life. One difference I had over many others on this journey in life is I got to spend time in other countries and experience other cultures. I visited 4 of the seven Churches of Sardis while living in Izmir Turkey. To be honest with you I even at the point in High School did not fully understand faith or religion in general. Now on my journey with faith I went through many different phases. I started with Sweet Home Baptist Church in Crocker Missouri. I learned a lot but still felt somewhat out of place. While in the Military I started going to a Catholic Church and like the other I still felt somewhat out of place. When I entered the field of Physics I then used my research skills to answer some of the questions my body and sole wanted answers to. My oldest daughter asked me one time, do you believe in God. And my answer to her was, "I guess I do". I really did not know how to answer that question. I meet the wonderful woman Ms Terri and she challenged me on several fronts of religion. I told myself that her being in my life at this time was not random chance. Using what I learned from her and her sweet mother I reevaluated my beliefs. I came up with this conclusion.
The Universe is not just a random act or something of random chance. There is order to all the chaos. I went back and used physics to try to understand more about my surroundings. Every equation came up the same. Order out of Chaos. So if you ask me God must be one great mathematician. Some people would say why did you say that? And I would tell them you have to see the world from my prospective. I see the Universe and the world and the belief in God as a beautiful Algorithm that had to be created by someone with knowledge far beyond any modern man. What you see with the human eye is not all there is. Trust me. Life and the structure of everything around us is made up of such a beautiful equation that a single human cannot grasp it all. Now there are some who think they can but they cannot. Now all of this leaves me with the original question. Do you believe in God. And my answer to that is yes. In my own odd little way and in my own little mind there has to be a God to have made something so beautiful as Human Life and everything else that surrounds it. When you look into the eyes of your children and grand children you can see the face of God in them. (God said he created all of us in his own image) and I believe he wants us to become as smart and compassionate and a mirror image of himself.
I was inspired to write this because another Physicist Hero of mine Dr Michio Kaku one of the founders of String Theory, and one of the best in his field stated he felt the same way. So I now do not feel so alone in my thinking. God does exist, life is a gift, love is one of it's benefits and friends like Ms Terri are treasures. I now see the life around me in all it's beauty and not just a math equation.
