There is no question that the vast majority of humanity struggles with the concept of God. The very idea that there exists a universal power that created the universe and everything in it is, frankly, beyond human comprehension. The foundation of our struggle is the fact that we are making our judgments with the tools of our education and logic. It is the knowledge that we lack that is our biggest handicap.

In a nutshell, “we don’t know what we don’t know.”

While we may wonder and speculate on the mysteries of the stars, it is the magical and mysterious formula for life that tops the list.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, amid the countless galaxies, stars, and planets, there exists a phenomenon so intricate, so awe-inspiring, that it transcends human comprehension—the miracle of biological life. From the tiniest microorganisms to the majestic creatures that roam the Earth, life manifests in an astonishing array of forms, each one a testament to the complexity of God’s design.

At the heart of this miracle lies a complex formula—a blueprint crafted with divine precision, woven into the very fabric of existence. This formula encompasses a myriad of factors, from the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry to the intricacies of genetics and evolution. It is a symphony of elements, harmonizing together to give rise to the diversity and beauty of life as we know it.

Central to God’s formula for life is the concept of DNA, the molecule that serves as the blueprint for all living organisms. Within the double helix structure of DNA lies the code of life, containing the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.

The complexity of DNA is staggering, with billions of base pairs comprising the genomes of even the simplest organisms. Yet, it is this very complexity that allows for the diversity of life on Earth. Through the process of mutation, genetic recombination, and natural selection, DNA undergoes continual refinement and adaptation, giving rise to new species and ensuring the survival of those best suited to their environment.

But DNA is just one piece of the puzzle. God’s formula for life extends beyond the molecular level to encompass the intricate interplay of biological systems. From the respiratory and circulatory systems that sustain life to the nervous system that enables consciousness and thought, each component is finely tuned to fulfill its specific role within the organism.

While we continue to study and learn the mechanics of how life forms develop, grow, reproduce, and maintain themselves, there is one area that stands out as absolute proof of Devine design.

We celebrate and marvel at the genius of humans who demonstrate extraordinary mental abilities, but somehow overlook the microscopic miracles that surround us.

The ants, bees, and other insects that disturb our picnic plans will never compete with an Albert Einstein, but, they display a remarkable ability to make judgments and alter their behavior to achieve their life’s objectives.

The very fact that these creatures can modify their behavior in response to their environment, manipulate multiple legs to reach their destination, fly, and build their own shelters is proof that intelligent acts are not exclusive to life forms with larger brains.

When these creatures, with microscopic brains function so effectively while we humans, with our three pound brains can’t remember why we went into the kitchen, is another example of “we don’t know what we don’t know.”

The miracle of biological life is a testament to the divine wisdom and creativity of our Creator. From the intricate structure of DNA to the delicate balance of ecosystems, every aspect of life bears witness to the complexity of God’s design. As stewards of this precious gift, it is our responsibility to cherish and protect the miracle of life, honoring the sacred bond that connects all living things.

Finally, it is time we recognize that the miracles of our existence are proof positive of that Devine source we call God.
