QQC 12

"Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created all things in six days; rather, the converse is true. God created all things in six days because the number is perfect..."

It's interesting when people bring mathematics and religion together. It almost seems counterintuitive. But when you look around and realize there is advanced math in the beauty of nature, you pause for a moment and consider the possibility that there may be something out there shaping the universe in an intelligent way.

Is there such a thing as an intelligent designer? Take a grandfather clock for example, a grandfather clock doesn't assemble itself spontaneously without provocation. There is always a clock maker, or so the argument is made. But perhaps our universe is the way it is because of some small chance during its creation. Who knows? Perhaps there was a universe before ours, with laws of physics far beyond our comprehension, with life unimaginable to us. Our universe could be one of an infinite number of possibilites.

It's these sorts of things that make it hard to sleep sometimes.
