The physical laws that govern the universe are tightly wound by mathemateics. For example, the "fine structure constant alpha" is set at 1 over 137.035999 and the ratios of masses of fundamental particles at 1836.152673. If alpha were off one way by 4% stellar fusion could not happen and carbon based life would not exist. If off less than 0.1% the other way then no place in the universe would be warm enough for life. So too is the Moral Law of God. It is a tightly wound law. When one deviates from it either way its called sin. But Christ made a way for mankind to escape and start over. We can look to science and math and see God. When we look at science and math, we see the Macro-universe (the big) governed by Einsteins theory of relativity. A set of defined laws that govern things. When we look at religion, we see God's Law that governs mankind. Back to science and math, when we look at Quantum mechanics, micro-universe (the small) such as at the atomic level-we are surprised to see chaos, or better yet, randomness. When we look to religion, we see that at the personal (micro) level, He grants us the same thing-its called FREE WILL. Thats why we have a deviation from His tightly wound laws, because sin entered by the choice of Adam and Eve to deviate. Look at the snowflake. When certain physical laws happen-it produces snow. Yet NO two snowflakes are alike. The path of randomness they take while floating to earth carves each one into a different individual snowflake. So too with us. Freewill carves each of our characters by choices we make. Of course, freewill is a step above the randomness of the snowflake, as man is above the snowflake in Creation-but I think you get the point. When we look to science and even math-we can say with King Jehoshaphat .....our eyes are upon thee. 2 Chronicles 20:12
