God's evolving humor

In the O.T when man got to big for his britches, God stopped it - the Tower
of Babel being the most notable case. I asked last week if any of you
thought there was divine intervention in the destruction of Minoa. However,
now we've been to the moon.

There is a cute little e-mail thang - I'm sure you all get more of them than
you want - about a little boy and a dying dog. The boy says dogs don't need
to stay here long because they're fast learners in what God wants to teach
us.

Science said that ecology couldn't be restored within several hundred years
in a western mountainous area destroyed by sulfer from manufacturing. One
man's prayer and diligent work had it largely restored in his own lifetime.

The little boy story summed up what it took me years to derive - we are here
to learn certain basic concepts. They have nothing to do with science.
Death, illness, the struggle to help others, the need to know - are all part
of the environment to help us to learn love and trust.

Back to the evolution - I wouldn't be surprised to learn someday that God
added quarks to the equation in the 20th century - or that their whole point
was to keep scientists from knowing it all. Dark matter also - or rather the
puzzle of too much gravity that had been called dark matter and may be
branes. It wouldn't surprise me if God were continually tinkering with our
'classroom' - adding levels of complexity as we progress through 'school'.

We've got AIDS under control and the flu still eludes us.

I'm sure we are the source of much laughter and tears in heaven.
