Sometimes I don’t get it: BBT excuse:
Over this Spring LDS general conference weekend I
found several statements very profound, and that I might want to just post on
my wall somewhere. Some of these
included the words of Elder Uchtdorf in referring to holding grudges, wanting
to cause harm, gossiping, and jealousy: “Stop it”. Another statement that I
would like to further discuss was one by Elder Nelson in the Sunday morning
session. Elder Nelson reassured and
discussed a truth I’ve felt strongly about for a long time now. Everything on this earth was made very
precisely, they start as small as atoms then they reach to other combinations
of matter, with its own type of genetic coding, ways that it develops over
time, and precise measurements of elements combined together all with the
incentive to survive through time and surroundings. All matter of things has evolved and are
evolving over time to their surroundings to become best in their
potential. Basically, everything is so
complex in the deeper sense. How then
can this wonderful world and Universe been made by a random accident. I fail to see the sense of a random sporadic
explosion that made all these elements combine and turn into something so
precise and functional. Going back to
Elder Nelson’s words he compared this how out of a sporadic detonation a world
was made would be like saying if a printing shops exploded it would make a
dictionary.
So someone reading this might think this is an
anti-atheist post. Not necessarily, I
just have a thought, a thought that I happen to believe, that when: I get
strong feelings of love for my family and friends, the peace I feel on summer
night walks, the way I can mentally tell myself when I’m sick to get better and
I naturally do, the fact I know that only opposites on magnets attract to each
other, and that when I look into a clear night sky the world goes on for
infinity. Tell me then, is there no
greater power? No greater power beyond our comprehension of the wonders that this
power can produce? Maybe this greater power, God, which might actually care for
us every now and then, or always? What
do I know? I’m just a 20 year old girl who just likes to follow a train of
thought every so often. What I do know,
is that I find it difficult to believe in a spontaneous coincidence that this “big
Bang” happened without any sort of greater power, and everything resulted of it
over billions of years wasn’t organized in a manner. Sure I believe in a God, it’s what makes
sense.
