molecular faith

that day, when i was doing my plasmid extraction, i noticed something.

at the step where i add stuff, here and there, centrifuge, pour off supernatant, bla bla... won't bore people with the details cos i am bored myself...well...guess what?

no pellet seen. i think my eyes widened a little (not much, can't be much) at the sight of the nothingness. my senior was with me, and i was assured that it could be there, just that i can't see it. and true enough, as i continued, moved on, when i added water, loaded it in the gel, and later stained and destained it, and viewed it under the UV light, it was there. there was something inside that tube, though i see it not, it was there.

do you know that feeling? of not seeing something, yet believing it is there, and you have to press on and continue, believing it IS there, until you can see the result in the end. and the result, is not the thingie itself. its a manifestation in other forms.

familiar? well, i dont know if im twisted, me and my mind, but it somehow reminds me of....

God.=)

i mean, i have never seen God. but i believe He is there. and i continue believing...and He shows Himself in ways...though i don't see Him in person, i see His wonderful works. He manifests Himself in ways. we don't see Him yet we know and believe He is there. Faith. =)

so how come people could believe in science, where there are so many things we can't see, that we have to figure out through some biochemistry or some difficult jargon, just to predict and make all sorts of theories about it, but find it so hard to believe in a Creator, so loving, so mighty....that He created us all, along with the world we live in, and all the sciences behind it?

people are dedicating their whole lives to discover new things, believing there is more and more. i'm not against that.....but i just thought, if they know who is the One behind it, that'll be more beautiful. and meaningful. and perhaps with every discovery, they learn more about the Maker. that will be the biggest picture. or should i say, the only picture? for all other things are just pieces from this picture, and they don't stand alone. isn't it more worth it, to dedicate our lives, for a cause bigger than ourselves, for a discovery that lasts for eternity? yes, discover science, but discover God in it, over it, above it.

are we really looking for hard evidences? or are we just hard inside?
