For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible. - Colossians 1:16
Scientists have been looking for the "Theory of Everything." One person who thinks he found it is physicist Brian Greene, who wrote The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory. Greene's "string theory" is a complicated concept suggesting that as its tiniest level everything consists of combinations of vibrating strands, or strings. He has described his theory as "a framework with the capacity to explain every fundamental feature upon which the world is constructed."
Over the years, thinkers from Newton to Einstein to Hawking to Greene have spent the greater portion of their lives trying to figure out how the universe works - and they have proposed fascinating theories.
In reality, for any theory to explain everything in the universe adequately it must begin and end with God. "All things... visible and invisible" have their origin in Him and exist for His glory. The first few verses of John's gospel tell us that our Lord created the universe - and that without His hand of creation nothing would exist.
That's why when we consider the world and everything in it, we can exclaim with Isaiah: "The whole earth is full of His glory!". Praise His holy name!
Our God has fashioned earth and sky,
Sun, moon, and stars beyond compare;
His workmanship we can't deny -
His fingerprints are everywhere. - Seals
All creation is an outstretched finger pointing towards God.
John 1:1-13
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his on did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
