Penning Down Some Ideas

I am the LORD, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no God.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me;
That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun
That there is no one besides Me.
I am the LORD, and there is no other,
The One forming light and creating darkness,
Causing well-being and creating calamity;
I am the LORD who does all these.

(Isaiah 45:5-7 NASB)

So much mystery. I’m currently working on a lab paper that I call (tentatively) “The Scheme of Probabilities,” describing the place of Quantum Mechanics and Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle in a universe of apparent order, using the biological work of Hans Driesch as a springboard. Some people think these two theories promote the notion of randomness and chaos that falls contrary to the nature of God, the Creator of the universe. But I know my God created both the darkness and the light, the order and the potential for the miracle.
The assumption of earlier philosophers and early physicists was that the world of the very small behaved analogously to the macroscopic world. But indeed, they discovered too many “phenomena” to ever support that ancient idea. The world of the very small seems to have a new set of laws. The big question, then, is how this harum-scarum world of probability turns into the universe that Newton and Einstein dissected. How is it that amidst the infinite possibilities for the particles of my hand to be elsewhere, my hand is here, typing on the keyboard? How is it that an embryo will rearrange it’s entire structure, even the structure of individual cells, ever so perfectly to accommodate for a damaged part when there should be nothing but wavelike particle chaos governing every chemical reaction?
This is why I’m writing about the scheme of probabilities. There is something, which Aristotle called “Nature,” that organizes the world into what it is. The architecture of the universe is impressive and mysterious. And the Architect is ever more so.
