SCIENCE AND FAITH.
You won’t find faith or hope down a telescope
You won’t find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything, got the chemicals
But you can’t explain a love like ours.
~Science and Faith by The Script
recently heard the song Science and Faith by The Script, and what struck me as interesting is that the song is completely true. there is science, but there are things science cannot explain. we are not a fixed being with a set of equations for how things turn out; we are unique and operate on so many levels it is impossible to limit us. since we cannot explain with our limited wisdom what we experience, we call that faith.
faith, then, is simply a belief of things you cannot understand. like your parent's love. you KNOW they love you because of what they do, say or show. but there is almost no concrete reason or theory why they tolerate/care/give in to us - the only being they LOVE us. thus we can say we have faith in our parent's love for us.
the same simple faith is demonstrated through religion. there is not scientific reason why Jesus could have raised from the dead, or heal the sick with touched, but all those happened because there was faith, no matter how small.
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.there simply is no what, it is just IS. you just have to trust what your gut feelings tell you and hang on.Matthew 9:22 (NIV)
another topic. Dragon boating has started for one month, and i really have found myself enjoying trainings and getting stronger. I've switched to right rowing and my right arm is getting better with each rowing. first race is July first week during Singapore Water Festival, this will probably make one of the best dumpling festivals ever, when i can finally immerse myself into this one cool sport from history. and eat my own dumplings at the same time. now Dragon boating just got a whole lot cooler.
sorry for this one long post, i have amassed a huge vault of unedited pictures to upload, so I'm gonna get on with it and leave you with this teaser.
♥ I'VE GOT HEAVEN ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
peace and joy God has set me free.
