This (Super-)Natural Universe

In thinking about my absolute dependency on God's power, I often focus God as Creator. His power can be made very evident in relationships and in minor and major miracles, but our daily lives are much more affected by the world we live in. While among us we'll probably disagree about the exact mechanics of *how* God created it, bible-believing Christians all agree that he is the Source and Sustainer of this universe we inhabit. And in my better moments, I marvel at the almost literally incredible wonder of it; the natural seems to me supernatural.

I am physically a bundle of 64 billion billion billion sub-atomic particles, spinning around each other, bonding in groups, very precisely arranged, in such a way as to make a living breathing being that can move, think, dream, and act as a vessel of that intangible, immortal, supernatural thing we call a soul. Incredible.
