It's been a while since I posted so..... this is what is going around my head tonight.
We had a beautiful day today up in the Highlands. The sun was out, the children at church were happy playing their percussion instruments and as part of the morning we sung the song - Oceans by Hillsongs.
We had lunch out and then went for a walk on the shores of Loch Ness with our granddaughter.
During the walk these lyrics from the song Oceans were going round my head.

Then tonight I was reading about a Radio 5 Live interview with Professor Brian Cox. I like Brian Cox as I appreciate his knowledge and honesty. During the interview he admitted that science alone provided no definite answers and he can’t be sure there isn’t a God.
He said science, philosophy, theology and religion are all valid...... “ways of trying to come to terms with this remarkable thing that we are” The physicist also said it would be more accurate to call him an ‘agnostic’ than an ‘angry atheist’.
In the interview Cox spoke about the limitations of science. He said: “I think science is about being comfortable with answering questions with ‘I don’t know” He was asked “how can you be sure there isn’t a God?” Cox said: “.......well I can’t”.
In a 2014 interview, speaking about his BBC show Human Universe, Cox acknowledged humanity as “rare”, “remarkable”, “valuable” and “worth celebrating”. He added, “there is naivety in just saying there’s no God”.
“You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail, and there I find you in the mystery. In Oceans deep My Faith will stand”
I am happy to trust in the mystery that the Loch Ness you see below was designed.... just in the same way that windows don’t grow on trees...it needs a creator to bring them into being.
