Looking at the night's starry skies from earth, one wouldn't help but wonder not only at the beautiful, sparkling radiant lights which the stars in the milky way galaxy emanates, but one's imagination also runs to what else are in the galaxies aside from the sun and the moon. And with the help of astronomers, in their keen sense of what the telescope has opened their minds to, especially of the properties that define space and time, astronomers have therefore been able to tell us of the other planets in the outer space which, together with the planet Earth, accounts for what is known as the universe.
Galileo, building up from Copernicus' model of the spherical shape of the earth, further had us believe that the earth is round. Isaac Newton then came along and scientifically admonished us that the earth appears both round and flat, based on his dual observations. But as time and space continues to travel, curious minds, however, continues to ponder what other possibilities are there in outer space that can further educate us on how time and space came into existence. And perhaps the most solid scientific explanation we've received so far (as far as astronomy is concerned), is the idea of the Big Bang Theory proposed by Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966), a Belgian cosmologist and Catholic priest, whose observations of the galaxies convinces him that the universe began in a cataclysmic explosion of a small, primeval, super-atom, caused by an intense heat radiation whose Fahrenheit level remains undetermined, but which came into contact with this very small, primeval, super-atom whose size and physical structure can only be imagined through mathematical calculations as there was no one physically present during the explosion, as far as the sensory eyes can infer.
Well, Kudos, space science, for explanations as riveting as these; from Copernicus' observation of the spherical shape of the earth to Galileo's buttressing of it to Isaac Newton's acceptance of it but with also his addition of the earth being flat in shape. And like the very Isaac Newton who in his last word perhaps before his soul was to depart the earth remarking that he doesn't know what he seems to the world (but to himself he is only a boy playing on the seashore diverting himself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before him), well I too concur that the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Part of this great ocean of truth which lay all undiscovered before me therefore brings me to the mysteriously physical connection between the Sun and The Rushing Wind, the latter being synonymous for the Divine, in terms of the Divine's transient nature which culminated for the Divine's mystery-spirit and the sovereign power that defines His presence, especially of the wind attribute which His generally invincible presence carry.
This mysteriously physical connection of which I speak, between the Sun and The Rushing Wind (or Divine), spruced up from Earth Science's explanation of how the sun was physically formatted through the connection between gravity and magnetism (or magnetics), wherein somewhere in the magnetosphere where wind is also found for example, caused the combination of wind and gravity to hoist dust and gas into a huge ball-like structure now known as the sun.
Splendid!
What's even more splendid is the fact that as sovereign as the Divine (or Rushing Wind) is, and whom had been around since the beginning of time by having hands in the formation of all that exists, and also knowing that His Rushing Wind presence not only travels in fast, swerving manner, but also whirls causing his presence to also be in a whirlwind motion, rapid enough to have his Rushing Wind presence rotate (or circles) in cylindrical or funnel-shape motion.
And as the Prophet Isaish lamented in the Book of Isaiah chapter 42 verse 5 (of the King James Version), stating that (Thus saith God the Lord, he hath created the heavens and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein), including him also lamenting in the same Book of Isaiah chapter 40 verse 21 through verse 22 (of the same King James Version) stating (Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are grasshoppers; that stretched out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in), and with addition from the proponent of the Big Bang Theory Georges Lemaitre whose words correlates with the Prophet Isaiah's lamentation by admitting that the hidden God (or the invincible spirit of God) was present at the beginning of time in a statement of his which reads... (As far as I can see, such a theory [of the Big Bang] remains entirely outside any metaphysical or religious question. It leaves the materialist free to deny any transcendental Being... For the believer, [the Big Bang Theory] removes any attempt at the familiarity with God... It is consonant with [the Prophet Isaiah] speaking of the hidden God, hidden EVEN in the beginning of the universe)... are all to me, statements that clearly points out that the sovereign God not only have a hand in the mysterious formation of the universe, but that His Rushing Wind presence which also has the capacity of motioning itself into a whirlwind-like, cylindrical shape-motion, had at some point on the plain ground in the beginning of His formation of the universe, had whirlwind itself atop the surface of the combination of dust particles and sulphuric particles that were part of the mixture of the dust particle as well as the water vapor (or hydrogen gas), including helium particles that were also present in the surrounding where God's whirlwind presence magneticised and hoisted these particles or matter (up to a location where His mystery-spirit thought fit of positioning itself together with these magnetically hoisted matter), and as a result ended up forming into a huge ball that is the mystery called the Sun, which Earth Science explains as a huge ball of hydrogen and helium, held together by its own gravity.
This therefore is the mystery connection which this article proposes by way of its title, THE SUN & THE RUSHING WIND, paradoxically showing that the Divine was indeed hidden not only in the mystery-formation of the Sun without whose energy life on Planet Earth would not have been possible, but that the mystery-formation of the rest of the galaxies too, were the Divine's handyworks, within the mystery which astronomical science has so far tried to bring to our attention although from a scientific point of view, or through the scope of observational science (which in my view incorporates situational psychology, logic, as well as sequential mapping).
And so once again, highlighting Isaac Newton's statement partially paraphrased earlier, from which I remain humble from coining from at this point, I too, therefore, find myself being a curious mind on the mysteries of life on earth and on the Divine, and how these mysteries interlock with space and time. But in so much that mysteries do not fully reveal themselves entirely, therefore the great ocean of truth as did perceive of Isaac Newton, also lay all undiscovered before me, despite the snippet of it I have herein privileged to share (of that of my conception of the mystery-connection between the Sun and The Rushing Wind, or The Whirling Wind).
Therefore with this in mind, I hope that the ever-so-often odds which the topic of science and religion have endured for as long as it has, especially due to the individual's internal tussles of which side of the two parallels makes the most sense, might perhaps start to ease in conversational tensions knowing that the two parallels (of science and religion) are not so conflicting in that either way, or whichever side of the conversational coin a person looks at the argument, that the mysteries of God (or the Rushing Wind or the Whirling Wind) still remains in the center hidden, but only for (genuine, open-minded) curious minds whom have been graced by the same mystery-spirit of God to gradually unravel them, especially when mysteries generally do not reveal themselves entirely, but in snippetted fashion as time and situations permit.
Shalom.
