John 1:1-17
All Things Were Made Through Jesus
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John 14:6
Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 8:31-32
We Can Get to Know the Truth
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Romans 1:20
God Made All Things, and Many are Small and Invisible
20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Job 12:7-9
God in Nature
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
8
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
When the majority of people look to truth and for truth today -many look to science...It seems that science and scientists have taken the lead on truth...Science has evolved into the standard of truth for the world and the universe...I think thousands of years ago, theists, rabbis, and the religious leaders held this standard for truth...But over the years this has changed as more and more scientific discoveries have taken place...People have become more acquainted to the scientific method, and as people have seen what science has done and can do science seems to go more with truth nowadays...Science and scientists do not see themselves as a collection of opinions...Scientists pride themselves on finding the truth, and getting to more and more truths...Science questions and observes things of the universe...Then they give a hypothesis to their observations...And if these observed things can be repeated over and over they prove that their hypothesis was correct...
A fact is not the same as a belief, but the two are closer than one might think...This is because truth of each individual is personal...
A long time ago a Man stood up and called Himself Truth...And He meant it in the singular...In one breath, He said I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life...Because He said His Way, is The Way...He added that He is life...And much more interesting and controversial He said He is the only way to God...I think people of His day might have a little bit stunned by One saying They are Truth...I am still amazed by this -One calling Themselves the Truth...Truth is a Man, if one believes in Jesus...Jesus also said that if we follow His teachings we can get to know the Truth...So the Truth is something that can be found and discovered...Absolute and Universal Truths are knowable, according to Jesus... The entire universe and creation and this wondrous way of nature was made through Him, and created by the Father Himself...Jesus came from His Father to earth to show us some of the Truths and some amazing things He does and can do...
There is this mystery and holiness about the way God created nature...Nature speaks of God...And nature speaks for itself...Yet, if the Truth can be found and discovered there must be common and organized universal laws that allows us to find out about the universe and its universal truths...God has given us His Natural Laws through creation and of nature, that are designed in a fashion that physicists and mathematicians can find out many discoveries out about our universe and its Truths...Nature can speak also through mathematical equations...There seems to be this calculus about our universe that allows more information to be found out and discovered about it...There is this Divine Design of reality, that allows mathematicians and physicists to learn more and more about nature and the universe, and about reality...
It is said that mathematics was not invented by one man or one woman, but evolved...Math equations and theorems have been evolving for thousands and thousands of years...There is math in the Great Pyramids from thousands of years ago...There is math in the Great Stonehenge...And most of all there is great design and math in all creation...How did man's math get into creation and into nature?...Yes, man has been increasing his use of this expanding math, more and more...Yet, is math really from man?...Or is math from God?...If man created or invented math, how does it fit so neatly into nature and into the universe and the reality of creation?...Who or what should really be our standard of Truth?...
