If there is one thing we share with most of the animal kingdom, it is instinct. Virtually all animal forms (humans included) will retreat when they feel threatened. Fear, it seems, is a built-in feature. So too is wariness – that tendency to view the unfamiliar with suspicion. We see these, and many more instinctual behaviors in virtually all animal life forms (yes, us included).

We see these actions in the youngest of the species, and it continues to some degree throughout life.

But, where does it come from? Who can explain instinctual behavior?

This is one of those areas where science needs to take a back seat to faith, because science alone would be hard-pressed to explain it. Logic might be able to describe the reasons for these behaviors but logic alone cannot explain the ultimate source of such behavior.

We know that new life begins with that fertilized egg and the process that eventually develops the completed adult. We have previously struggled to understand how cells begin to branch off and specialize in order to create different organs. Now we are faced with an even greater puzzle.

Mysterious as it is, we might be able to accept that certain stages of development could trigger those random cells to set off on their own specialized path. But, when we begin to examine instinctual behavior, we enter a whole new category of biological puzzles.

Even if we accept the idea that all the cells contain the blueprints that provide the instructions for the construction of the final physical structure and function of the mature body, the idea that those same cells also contain mental instructions is harder to justify. It’s much harder to imagine each cell containing the mental instinct instructions than it is to imagine a physical blueprint model.

So, where does that leave us?

Once again, we find ourselves in territory where science cannot provide answers, and logic can send us in only one direction. Our logic demands that we consider that the complexity of instinctual behavior co-existing with the physical blueprint contained in the DNA of any animal life is far too big a stretch for human science to begin to comprehend.

That leaves only one logical answer.

There is an intelligence, a force, that exists in a dimension of existence outside of human experience and understanding. And it is that entity that has engineered all that we know, using forces that are beyond our comprehension.

We call that entity God.
