The second image, below, is from one of the best magnifying glasses. It
shows crystals of the adrenaline hormone. Infinitesimally small. The smallest
units of life are quarks. How to describe their size? It would take one-hundred
million atoms lined up together to make one inch in length. Now imagine Wembley
Stadium in London as representing the size of one atom. Now go to the centre
circle of the football pitch and pick up one grain of soil. That’s the nucleus
of an atom. Then divide that nucleus into 1,000 tiny specks and one of these
specks is the size of a quark.
I find it hard to understand how anyone cannot have a faith
in God when we look at creation. As C S Lewis said, ‘nature gave the word “glory”
a meaning for me’.
Big and small. What a creator God we have.
