Phew finally got a half-day off after the stuporizing anaesthesia module, I must say my mind has changed towards this seemingly-boring specialty, it wasnt that bad as such, and the beauty of human physiology was enlightening, still I prefer seeing awake patients than putting them asleep every day.
Probably stimulated by the two-week intensive basic biophysic course, I (unbelievably) spent my day standing in The Commercial Press, reading a short book on - you might not believe either - the Big Bang theory.
And yes, as a science student filled with blood and flesh in the past 5 years, I had a hard time in it.
What arouses my interest in this well-discussed topic was my recent work on the doctrine of creation. Let me elaborate.
For centuries philosophers and scientists are troubled, if not put off, by the problem of how this world started - or was there ever a beginning at all. Walking along the track of Theism, there was an old arguement named - The Watchmaker analogy - as a teleological arguement for God's presence:
"When you see a watch, seeing its complex design, you immediately linked its origin to a designer. And as with the orderly complicated world we are living it - it necessitate an intellegent creator."
Many forms of similar analogies are used by Christians like me in sharing the gospel.
"You see a blue bright sky, you know it does not exist by itself by with a creator."
"Look! How beautiful the nature is! How can you not believe there is a God above us?"
But on a second thought, there is a huge trick behind.
One can easily ask:
"Well, alright. Your God has to be more complex and intelligent than us to have created us, then you tell me with your proof, shouldn't there be another SUPER-GOD who is even-more intelligient to have created your intelligient God beforehand?"
And that's exactly the reason why I stopped using the quotes above when sharing Christianity with non-Christians; to me they are true praises voiced out from heart, but it isn't appropriate to use it as a proof outside the paradigm of Theism. But then, I can't help ask myself - ummm if I were to believe there is a more complex being to be everlasting who has created us, why don't I simply bring in a little less faith and believe the world we are living in is everlasting?
(To be continued...)
