Physicists tell us something called Dark Matter keeps the stars from spinning off into space. Dark Matter is five times more abundant in the universe than the normal matter that composes you, me, your house and your car. What is fascinating is they, we, don’t know what it is. We can’t even see it. Defining it and seeing it will be the next big discovery.
In the meantime, while super smart people are looking for it, I would like to tell them where to find masses of it. It’s inside human heads and is responsible for people thinking they are serving God by blowing themselves and other into tiny bits. Dark Matter is in the heads of those who think slicing off human heads, the most wonderful thing God made, brings glory to God. Humans are made in God’s image and we cannot imagine Dark Matter in Adam’s head; although He did eat the fruit. Somehow that stupid decision must have had a lot to do with who was handing the fruit to him. She had to have been gorgeous and men make terrible decisions in the presence of gorgeous women.
Surely we exhibit the Dark Matter in our heads when we mistreat and abuse God’s creation. When we are cruel and thoughtless, when we curse another person, when we mistreat a child, when we steal from someone or worse deliberately kill them, we are defiling something made in His image. Jesus said if we do this even to the least of them we have done it unto Him, God. It is no wonder Jesus called Himself, the Light of the World. He and He alone is the solution to the Dark Matter problem that exists in us.
