The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity: Science and the Trinity

Science and the Trinity

                When you study math and science you see that every single thing is made up of rules and laws and definitions.  Atoms are made up of protons, electrons and neutrons.  These are their definitions, their bodies.  Rules and laws govern how each atom functions. 

                Hydrogen atoms, for example, have one electron and can therefore bond with oxygen because there is a rule in place that says that hydrogen atoms can only have up to two electrons in their electron shell.  There is also a rule that says that an oxygen atom can have up to eight in its electron shell.  There is another rule that says that if that electron shell is not full then the two atoms will bond and share an electron between them if they meet. 

                So when hydrogen meets oxygen and sees that it has only six electrons, the hydrogen bonds with it.  Then another hydrogen comes along and sees that there are only seven electrons on the oxygen and it bonds with it too.  In this way, two hydrogens and one oxygen are sharing electrons so that the oxygen is now full in its electron shell.  A molecule of water has just been formed because the rules told the definitions what to do.

                And then, of course, the energy must be there or the two elements would never come together.  What pushed oxygen and hydrogen into one another?  There must be some force or energy or spirit that brings these things together and energizes the action.  Call it whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is, some sort of energy, or force, must be present in order for a molecular bond to occur.
