Big Man

For as far back as records indicate, man has been riddled with the question "How did I get here?".

For the last few years I have been on an absolute truth quest; I don't want to simply live life according to some other man's beliefs, assumptions, philosophies or theories, I want to know for myself. So I started asking questions and I even questioned the answers which resulted in what I will do my best to articulate in this article.

When dealing with this subject there are three components that must be analyzed: Nature, The Big Man and the Big Bang. If we took a little time to examine nature we would find that we are intricately woven into it and hence human life is a result. Nature refers to the phenomena of the physical world and also to life in general. The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, which means "the course of things, or natural character."

So as we delve deeper into nature, let us focus our attention upon the earth. I will begin by proclaiming that the earth is alive. Now before you start to laugh, I do not mean alive as you and I are alive with conscience and mental faculties, but the earth is alive by way of its natural course. The earth is alive, and, as a result, it is able to sustain life. Everything that we need to sustain life is offered to us from the earth. Fruits and vegetables are offered up to us from the earth. The air that we breath proceeds from the plants that proceed from the earth. The water that we drink proceeds from the earth and these all help to sustain life for mankind.

Observe the critical link between water and a seed during the germination process. The seed has life propensity within itself, but without water this life will not activate. But what about water? isn't it one part hydrogen and two parts oxygen? Do not plants provide oxygen? With analysis of that simple fact, we can say that one cannot exist without the other and furthermore, one could have not been here before the other which is very powerful. Consider this startling fact, you cannot have water without oxygen, you cannot have oxygen without plant life and you cannot have plant life without water. So then all of these individual elements had to be in existence simultaneously in order for them to exist today, but that is virtually impossible. How can you get something from nothing? We again ask the question "which came first the chicken or the egg?".

Nature is observed as a phenomena, because it is really unexplainable. The fact that there is a course of nature, compels me to search for closure. If there is a course that nature follows then we understand that there is a law of nature. The law of gravity for instance, has always been the same and will never change. Aircraft may defy gravity for a period, but what goes up must come down for the law of gravity is steadfast. Germination is bound by a natural law: The seed is planted, given the proper temperature, water, sunlight and the plant begins to grow. The plant matures and produces seeds of its kind which will perpetuate the existence of the plant. The law is set with no deviations in each elemental factor or you will not have life. The amazing piece of this is the fact that all creation is bound by laws that are intricately woven into the law which plant life is bound by.

As we move up the classification scale you will find similar type laws that living organisms are bound by.

Time for a little sex education.

Life is a result of a complex string of elements being united to together. Hydrogen and Oxygen unite and we have water, water, seed and light unite and a plant is produced. Let us look at mankind.

Man carries a seed referred to as sperm, which carries 23 chromosomes and a host of essential elements such as: enzymes, flavins, fructose, proteins and, yes, vitamin C. One key element here is protein, which carries a genetic code being a set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. So we find information packed into this microscopic seed called sperm. It very similar to writing a software program, the data is encoded into language that a computer understands, which enables it to execute a specific function. From all of this we can get the sex type, hair type, eye color you name it. This little seed finds its way into the awaiting ovum in the woman which also carries 23 chromosomes and an embryo begins to develop.

Now that we have placed both of these instances in view, is it irrational to claim that an explosion brought these delicate sequences of events into existence. Is it even logical to suggest that this elaborate course of nature was refined through a series of evolutions? The seed of every creature carries a genetic code that is bound by the law of nature. All mammals may have skin that is similar, eyes, nose, mouth etc. but the genetic code confines all creatures to their own species and ultimate habitat. Apes did not evolve into humans, if they did apes would no longer exist. Human life did not begin in a pond as a crude protozoa that morphed its way up the classification scale. You may ask me the question, how do you know? and I will tell you that with analysis of your DNA it will tell you who your parents are with a 99.99% accuracy. You can trace our human lineage all the way back to the first man and he will look like you and I today, aside from obvious social factors that would somewhat shape his individual appearance etc. If we did evolve, why are we no longer evolving? who or what pulled the plug?

But lets deal with this "Big Man" now.

The bible says that God created all living things and in Gen 1:24 He said let the earth "bring forth" the living creature after its kind, which literally means "to give birth to" or "to break out from". Two verses later he says let us make man in our image and likeness, as he then scoops up dirt from the ground and forms man. Of course this statement has to be accepted by faith, but if we look at it logically, I believe that the tie between us and nature backs this up 100%.

Just what is man? What are the animals of the field? The answer is dust or, in simple terms, dirt. Man is of the earth and everything that he needs comes from the earth and when his life expires he will return to the earth. The vitamins, minerals and nutrients that we need to maintain health and vitality comes from the earth. If we don't wash ourselves dirt accumulates. Another term for dirt is soil, soil is called earth and it is soil that is comprised of organic or life sustaining elements hence, our planet is called earth for its life sustaining characteristics. Without a lengthy exegeses on our solar system you will find that the earth was so delicately placed into perfect proximity from the sun in order to sustain life.

No explosion could produce this, it is the infinite genius of the architect of the ages. You can see his finger print in all living creatures and a common thread woven that ties us all back into himself. I will hedge my bet on the "Big Man".
