LIFE IS LIKE A PHYSICS CLASS !

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. ----Soren Kierkegaard


Up front, on top, and out in the open; this Post may help you as Kierkegard's quote has helped me. I urge you to read and reflect upon its contents.


For many, many years, I have encouraged high school and college students to take at least one Physics class. Why? I am so glad you asked Why?


The basic elements of Physics (Heat, Light, Motion, Force, Magnetism, Electricity, etc. etc) help us to understand how and why things work as they do. In  a very real way, the elements of Physics are the Lego, Tinker Toy, and Erector sets of our Creator. The components of Physics, like all real science, must ultimately yield to our Triune God. His Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence will never be understood apart from His Creation. Physics, like all true science, permits us to peek behind the curtain and see what God is up to and to help us better understand His eternal purpose for this Universe. Physics permits us to read God's Lab Notebook! Yes indeed, this is Heavy Duty stuff; but so very true!
