I may be a little late on discovering this video... but good ole DG introduced me just moments ago. I am simply blown away. All I can say is WOW! Our God is an awesome God. I love science the more and more I study it, because I get to see God so present in it. That may sound strange, but this video will probably help support my case. Enjoy!

I've experienced God through poetry before. Really I just love words. I love the rhythm of good phrases, the cadence, a good word choice. I get excited when I read T.S. Eliot talk about his conversion in "Ash Wednesday" or Dostoevsky explain the all-surpassing kindness of Christ through a whore.
I've experienced him through music. I remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I really heard "Moonlight Sonata." I thought it was miraculous. I even wrote it down.
Mostly, I experience God through people. As much as I hate people sometimes, sometimes, I witness miracles. Not water to wine miracles, but the kind that happen everyday - the ones we usually miss. When someone does something self-sacrificial and loving and you get little glimpses of God, it makes me want to cry. I can't help but be moved when I see the Incarnation with my own eyes. It makes me lament all those moments I wasn't conscious of it, all the miracles I missed. It's enough to make me forget this horrible world. I spend most my life in that day in between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, but sometimes, I experience that joy of Easter Sunday.
marie evans!! :) bahh THIS is why I am a biology major!! Sitting through my biology lectures is experiencing God's creation! Before I watched this video, and I read your post, I immediately thought of the structures of our body at a cellular level, and how much meticulous detail is involved. THAT is evidence enough for me to know that we are not randomly created, we have a Creator and His work is marvelous. While so many people focus on the similarities between humans and other animals, and suggest that these similarities support a common ancestry, I don't exactly see it that way. In my mind, I always think of an artist. Is it not common for an artist to have a 'style' or a similarity between their works of art? I just always see the commonality between gene sequences and cell structures between organisms as a signature of God's creation, or artwork so to speak. It is so humbling to see how we are made, along with other organisms, and see that a Common Creator is evident! Girl, I could go on and on...ha, this is one of my passions!! :) heck, you know that!
Oh, ha, and as if this post was not nerdy enough, I am going to leave you with a video. My biology teacher sent us a video last year, and its an animation of cell functions. When I watched it I about peed myself ha. You will probably think its lame, but I thought I'd share it anyways. Yes, its nerdy....but there is something about seeing a motor protein resembling a walking human that excites me! :) Man, God is awesome!
Anyways...we should talk nerdy science sometimes...not many people share in the fascination! :)
