If occurrences such as this are purely accident then why do we go to such great lengths to explain them? If the system we've created by which we can comprehend matter, time and life is the end of our ability to understand them aren't we truly powerless?  Think about original sin. think about the deception there. The idea that by knowing good and evil we would become as powerful as God seems silly when you realize that we can't even understand the material things around us, how then do we expect to understand good and evil? It is true to a degree that knowledge brings power but because of our finiteness we will never truly understand. And understanding is perhaps the most empowering of all intellectual pursuits. That is why though we have the knowledge of good and evil it profits us nothing. that is why man's greed continues to lead him in a downward spiral toward ultimate destruction. That is why though we believed that such pursuit would make us like gods, we still find ourselves desperately in need of Deliverance. So many People try to disprove God with science, but everything I learn about science proves Him more. What causes dust and gas within a nebula to form into a star? what causes light waves to stretch making distant galaxies appear red? How does our solar system manage to keep the precise balance needed to keep us from getting sucked into the sun by it's gravity? why are there entire species of animals that exist only in one cave and serve only one purpose in that cave's eco system? To me it's clear. there are no accidents. and even though we increase our knowledge we will never reach a point where we are freed from the one huge looming question that fuels our constant quest for knowledge. "Why"
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
