Logical Chaos

Today I was looking at my cafeteria on the way back from a run, admiring the parallel lines and the shapes that the structure creates when I look at it from a particular angle and it occurred to me how orderly and simple it was. In fact most of the things that I associate with being orderly in this world are man made, every thing natural seems so random, so wild. The clouds seem like random streaks of white against blue sky, the grass grows every way it wants to, and trees reach up into the sky in every direction imaginable. And yet I know it isn't random, I've had biology classes, I know how intricate every blade of grass is, how each atom is structured in a way to make the plant the way it is. And yet there is chaos. And it is this chaos that is a constant reminder to us we will never be in control of anything. I decided this semester to take a weather class called Earth dynamics. We learn to mathematically describe the weather systems. I came out of the first lecture amazed by the fact that the human race wasn't dead yet. I am now fully convinced in my mind that the God I serve is the sustainer. He is omnipresent, everywhere at once, holding together the very atomic structure of my body so that by his will alone I may live another day. If you think about it we can only begin to understand the math of how everything is put together, and try to harness some of these equations to perhaps create ourselves, because we know so little. I am an engineer, and at times in my schooling I have thought to myself  "It's this it? is this all we know?, these equations are so simple." Perhaps in an effort to elevate ourselves, to bring control into our own hands, we harness the logic of this earth, and we make buildings and gadgets, and toys, and we think we are awesome. Not that these things are bad in anyway, but they fall so short. We are like kids playing with crayons next to a master artist. We use math and logic to build things, God has created logic and math to paint with, and through his brush strokes the complexity of the logic at hand has burst forth into a chaos so beautiful it send chills down my spine.
