Here for Something

I just read an interesting article (warning, it's a little on the lengthy - and scientific - side). It's an interview with a physicist concerning the nature of the universe, or perhaps, multiverse. There's much too much for me to go into here, but I'm intrigued by his thoughts.

The way he sees it, the universe - along with the laws that dictate its structure - has purpose and meaning, and can clue us in on the personal search for meaning and purpose. He, in the interest of scientific inquiry, must remove God from the understanding; however, I find that some of his conclusions are part of the never-ending quest(ion) for God.

I don't really care about how you think the universe began. I'm not sure it matters as much as people like to think it does. What matters (to me, at least) is that we are here for something. Unfortunately, some Christians feel compelled to limit the questions that are asked. But, I've found that the search is part of the destination itself. All the choices and possibilities of our lives, each singularity, has now moved us to where we are. One could argue this to an almost subatomic level, should they so desire. And Christ is able to ebb and flow with us, following the current of our lives as he pursues us. And once he captures his heart's desire? We move in relationship to him, pursuing those we love, connected to One That Loved Us First.

In Him we live and move and have our being.
