Evidence for The Creator: The Music of the Spheres

‘There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres.’  – Pythagoras (569–490 BCE)

The universe is a significant factor, that just about everyone considers at some point in their life. The majesty, awesomeness, terror, and vastness of the universe fills us, with a sense of worshipful wonder. Naturalistic explanations and beliefs are too far fetched. Reflecting on the abstracts of infinity, eternity, life, and the whole of Creation, brings to us a sense of holy awe, for all that 'God hath wrought..'

Ps19:1 ..The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Poets, gurus, philosophers and wise men from every corner of the human experience have looked in AWE, at the wonder of The Creation.  The order, harmony.. the interaction of celestial bodies..  fill the seeker of knowledge with amazement and awe, at the complexity and order, revealed in the Creation.  The universe infers an Intelligent Creator. Random chance and chaos cannot have interwoven the universe with such delicate and elegant complexity. 

But years of Indoctrination,  and/or complete immersion in man-made trivialities can numb the senses, and scar the Soul of man, so he cannot hear the music of the spheres.

“The fanatical atheists are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who—in their grudge against traditional religion as the "opium of the masses"—cannot hear the music of the spheres.” ~Albert Einstein 

Hardened materialists seem to lose the worshipful wonder of the Creation..  oh they still marvel and have reverence for the natural world,  but they have lost the Source, and see only the created.  They exchange the Truth of The Creator for a lie, and their souls are deadened to the Wonder of the Creator seen though the creation. 

Romans1:18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator."
