"Not the science says" ?

I asked a question to my students last Sunday, " Do you believe that God created the heaven and earth?"

"Yes!" the students answered.

I asked again, "Do you really believe that God created the heaven and earth, and He created you?"

A student laughed, playing wise, said, "Not the science says."

I was graduated and qualified as a microbiologist. "Hmm... I dunno if the science didn't agree with creation theory."

In fact, I remembered it was during the studying of life science, that had caused me marveled at the beauty and wisdom of creation. Discovery of DNA, and the complexity of how the system works in a body, or the universe, streaming to learn about micro-organisms such as bacteria and virus, showed profound evidence of high engineering of human science, which was not invented by human hands. 

The nature itself embedded a system which had shown extreme high intelligence, where faculties were started to investigate or trying to discover more about the intelligence found. These findings give us hope. 

And it was also during those days, I started to fear God, and prohibited my tongue to continue sin in slandering God and stopped making fun of Christians. Somehow, even without knowing Jesus, I began to respect this hidden power, high intelligent being which, supposed, a Creator?

My pastor's sister in-law, a profound Physicist, works with NASA. She had never try to hide her faith in creation theory. She sings her faith to the Creator God and Jesus every day in her office.

I'm not sure if science against God, or the bible. But what I understand about science, is simple as a continuous search and a series of discovery of the mysteries of the universe, the creation of God. 

And of course, many were/are hoping to find trace to reach God, the creator, maybe a fingerprint, or a strand of His hair...... :) 

But I guess, I will try to trace His fingerprints in my life, and to smell His hair when He carries me in His arm.

Lessons learned in Luoyang - in correspond to Public Health& Genetics

In correspond to the previous article on public health genetics, I guess this is an eye opening for most of us!

The child that was peeling the banana skin and laughing and murmuring was literally a 'potato' which take no response to touch or words in July 2007. And he had also a several spasm that led to fatal, and had to be sent back to the homes, where the medical care was more intense.

But the love of the adopted parents and prayers, as well as the principle of Tender, Loving, Care had caused a miracle in his life. Just as the foster parents refused to give up the child, the child miraculously responded and had a breakthrough since then. This was a video clip taken while we went to Luoyang in December 2007.

The improvement of the child and the other children were amazing and kept as testimonies that encouraged the workers and officials at the homes. The stories had inspired the villagers, and caused them to seriously consider to pour out their love and care to these seemingly 'no hope' children.

What we had thought from a medical history background, we would probably had defined this children as hopeless. Children with cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, spinal muscular astrophy etc. , even if they are with their own parents, their homes had often been filled with sadness and clouded by a dark atmosphere. However, in these homes that had taken the children in, we found ourselves in a bright and an atmosphere filled with hope!

The doctor and the nurse in the home had shared with me that they felt so excited after they had been with this project! Their lives had been changed completely. They had never felt so much for the patients before, and now seeing the improvement and daily changes of the children, seeming are their own children. Their lives had never been the same as before!

The lesson that I learned from this trip was: Focus on what we can give at this moment! The right thing to do at the right moment!

May God bless you!
