Doing better & More thoughts

When I went to the hospital, I was given two prescriptions. One painkiller and one anti-inflammatory. I'm almost positive that I'll never take the painkiller, but the anti-inflammatory has done absolute wonders. Unless I move my back a certain way, I can't tell I ever hurt my back at all. Today, I realized just how lucky I am that I wasn't seriously hurt. Most people who tear a muscle have to receive surgery. In fact, my brother almost had to have surgery when he nearly tore his ACL. It's amazing that it's only four days later, and I feel almost completely healed.

On to some random thoughts . . .

One of the things that absolutely blows my mind, is science. For instance, we've discovered the destructive and constructive capabilities of the atom. It can either demolish, or power, an entire city. Let's also think about modern medicine. Not only are there tremendous amounts of medicine for illnesses, but a single pill seems to target your exact symptom. The human nervous system is incredibly complex, and its design is absolutely incredible. The very idea of the universe is mind-blowing.

I've met several people who say the science is the very reason they don't believe in a higher being. I say, science is something that strengthens my faith. I look at these complexities that we may never unravel, and I see every reason to believe in God. No way has fate and chance taken the Earth where it is today. I also know a lot of Christians that see science as heretical. I say, God made science. Embrace it. I daresay, a knowledge of science brings you ever closer to God.
