I have to go about my day,
especially in the morning, in a routine so that I get all my meds taken, animals
are taken care of and other things done or I often forget. Not a big problem, but it does throw me and
my system off if I don’t do what needs to be done.
Part of our summer routine is
when I first wake up in the morning I open the kitchen door so Blaze can go out
when he wishes and then come back in without having to let him in.
For quite some time now, he goes
about his routine and then at either 6:00 for a long while or 7:00 most recently
he voices his desire to have his morning treat and if I don’t get up he
continues letting me know of his desires until I do. It isn’t 7:10 or 7:30, it is 7:00.
I figured it was one of those
imbedded time things that animals go through.
The cows know they need to be milked in the morning and night, so they
head to the barn. Animals are used to
being fed during certain times of the day, and despite day light savings time
saying it is a certain time, they go by real time and don’t like the
disruption.
However, I think I might have
found a different reason for his on time barks.
As you know we have AllClassical
radio on in our house 24 hours a day.
This morning I was listening to Brandi, early morning host and she
announced the time as 7:02 – immediately thereafter, Blaze barked. I think it is AllClassical that lets him know
when he should have his treat – nope not going to test it by turning the radio
off, enjoy the music too much.
1 Corinthians
14:40 But everything should be
done in a fitting and orderly way.
While there are many kinds of
people out there, with many kinds of skills, I find that we can place them in a
couple of categories – albeit a simplification – there are those that are
organized and those that are not.
While even the disorganized
person may have some method to their madness, it usually is only understood by
them. When another person tries to
understand their methods it is perplexing and takes a great deal of time to
decipher and then place in a more orderly fashion.
You would not want a
disorganized person trying to do something that was very detailed and involved
where they must show their work so others can follow them. They do not make good scientists.
One of the shows I enjoy
watching is America’ Test Kitchen. I
also subscribe to their publications.
These people go at a recipe like a scientist. They take a recipe and break it down to its
basic forms. They look at the
ingredients and see if they can do a better job with something else. They look at the time frames and try and
evaluate why that particular recipe calls for those times.
Their goal is to make a
particular type of food or recipes have the greatest flavor possible. They vary ingredients and if using the same
ingredient different portions, granulation and/or substitute another ingredient
they feel may be better for the outcome.
They test cook ware, cooking
temperatures, cooking times, resting times, anything that might have an impact
on the end product is reviewed, tried and what doesn’t work discarded. In the end they have a finished product they
believe is better than the original recipe AND it is something that others can
do, because they have a written process that can be duplicated.
They are organized; they can
prove their work.
I, as most of you have, had many
discussions with those that believe the universe evolved into what we have
today. There was no plan, there was no
creation, there was something that happened and everything is by happenstance
from there on.
They look at the symbiotic
relationships of plants and insects or animals and they say the animal evolve in
order to meet the needs of the plant.
There was no plan, there is no order.
Yet we can forecast the phases
of the moon, the time that certain comets will appear in the sky, the time that
meteor showers will happen. We can
determine how to plant seed and about when the crops will be ready to
harvest. We can predict the weather, we
use science to cross breed plants to make them hardier and more resistance to
disease, pests or drought.
We cut open a piece of fruit and
we see the texture and the method that it grew.
There was a base for that, it didn’t just happen. While in the natural order of things there is
cross breeding, it is not evolution, just adaptation.
I am told, you can’t prove
creation; you can’t prove there is a God. Yet, I look at the world around me and I see
something at work here, everything is complex, even the simplest cell has a
structure, there is organization to it.
We look at a house and know
someone had a plan – it may have only been in his head, but he didn’t just throw
some wood and nails on the ground and a house evolved – even a faulty plan has
some organization – you don’t put a house together without gathering things to
do it with – you may need other items that you hadn’t considered, but you obtain
those and get the job done to the best of your ability. There was a plan and a means to carry it
out.
For this universe to function in
the methodical way it does there had to be a Creator. Someone, God, knew what He wanted to do and
then did it. Giving Him credit for that,
though, man has to admit that God has some right to have control over him – and
man doesn’t like that obligation.
So man has created another way
that the universe came about. It too
cannot be proven. But that doesn’t sway
those that proclaim the religion of evolution.
They accuse those that believe in a God who created all things as being
foolish and it is but a religion; the idea of a God is just faith with no proof
– yet they are no different, they have faith in their religion and while
theories abound, true scientific proof does not.
This world and all the rest of
the universe, to me, are physical proof of a plan, of a creation – the
complexity and variety proclaims it and if that is the case than, of course,
there is a creator. God has laid claim
to be that Creator and there is no evidence He is not.
Psalm
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
