Everything is...

We've all heard someone say, "Everything is science," or, "Everything is music," or maybe, "Everything is language." I was sitting in my Music Appreciation class today, and my professor said, "Everything is math." And suddenly a light bulb went off in my head: If everything is math, music, language, science, history, art, and so on, everything is everything. That means everything is connected. If everything is connected, then there must be an original source of everything.

My mind is scrambling to sort my thoughts out into clear, understandable language, so I'll keep this short and simple. God is the original source of everything. God introduced science to humans. He introduced language to us, as well as history, music, math, art, etc. The very same God who gave us the breath of life, who gave us the ability to love, also gave us the ability to learn. And since we have the ability to learn, there must be something in the world for us to learn about. So God gave it to us. All of it. And all of it is contained in everything because God is in everything. Just as a composer leaves his stylistic mark in his music, God also leaves His mark on His creation. And that mark is Wisdom.

The Bible says in Proverbs 8:22-31 that Wisdom was the first creation, that Wisdom was with God when He formed the earth and that she (Wisdom) took part in the creation. All of the subjects mentioned above are a part of Wisdom. The Apostle Paul writes in Romans that we are all parts of the body of Christ (Romans 12:4-5). In the same way, all subjects make up Wisdom as a whole.

I'm still having trouble wording this the way I want to, but I think I've gotten my point across. If not, just leave a comment with any questions you might have. I'll try to make my answers more thorough than this blog entry.

Anyway, until next time, God bless!
