As musicians we sometimes take music for granted. We sometimes forget how other worldly it really is. Many of the things we enjoy are really focused on us, but music is one of those things so universal that it can only be thought of as reflecting the creator. Indeed there is music in all things in creation. Here’s a new thought for you. All of creation is really one giant harmonic and rhythmic symphony. Under the surface creation is pulsating. There are registers of sound beyond our hearing – but do you suppose God created them for his own delight? The universe “hums” and sings at many frequencies and with an infinite variety of sound and rhythm. Any exploration of creation will eventually uncover God’s song. In this post I want to talk about the “sub-atomic symphony of creation”.
Now before we go on I feel I must warn you that I’m about to discuss science. While this might sound a bit dry I promise to try and keep you engaged. Yes I know that for some of you a discussion of science means sticking your fingers in your ears and humming something unintelligible. I would only ask that you stay with me long enough to hear me out. I promise I will put away my pocket protector and focus on drawing you a picture you can understand. I’m not a scientist, nor do I play one on TV, but I hang on on Wikipedia a lot, and we all know if it’s on the Internet it must be true. Let’s begin.
