the God factor

I am going to go back to my Biology class again for this post. We are learning about DNA still, but in particular we are learning about how bacteria and viruses transmit DNA. As we are studying it my teacher keeps saying that we(being scientists in general) don't fully understand how a certain mechanism works or what causes something else to happen. As we were discussing things, on the paper in front of me I realized how perfect it all fit together. I mean we know what goes in and what comes out but we don't fully understand why it does. And to me that made me feel like God is the only one who could even comprehend it. Maybe we aren't really given one hundred completely random DNA from our parents but God actually chooses it for us. Since we don't see God actually choosing it we never fully comprehend it. It is just to awesome and amazing for us to define in our view of science. So from now on anything in life or in science that I don't understand in my feeble brain is going to be called the God factor. Don't get me wrong I still want to learn and such. But, I'll take it on faith that God knows what he is doing.

School vs. Life

True Satisfaction

So we are watching a movie in AP biology right now about two scientists Watson and Crick who are trying to find the structure of DNA. The movie takes place right after WWII and the two scientists end up winning the nobel prize for their work. Anyways one of them says "true satisfaction doesnt come from know the answer, it comes from knowing why it is the answer." This was such an awesome quote and it really put into perspective everything in my life. I have always wanted to know everything in my future, but now I realize to understand why I want something I need to understand in my past what created that desire. My past is what truly defines me and has put me on the path I am on now. He knows why I am doing anything before I even know I will do it. I also realized that sometimes it is better to take things slower to fully enjoy them and understand why they heppened. Then I get a chance to fully understand where and why my life is going in a certain direction...
