I met
A girl last month
She’s pretty, smart, talented,
And we want the same out of life
We grew
Up in the same church
Have the same taste in movies
And boy does she know how to flirt
I think
She has nobody else
We’re both getting older
And this is such an empty house
She laughs
At most of my jokes
We have fun together
So why do I feel about to choke?

Why do I feel sick inside?
With a pain that I can barely hide?
After all these years, you’re still in my heart
And who’s left for you if I were to start…again?

I haven’t
Yet told her my past
She hasn’t told me much either
But I know she’s allergic to cats
Somehow
I haven’t yet scared her away
She returns my messages
And she calls every other day
I feel
Like we’re all running out of time
I’ve been so lonely
In ways I can hardly describe
It’s nice
To have someone to care about
There is just this one thing
So hard to figure out

Why do I feel sick inside?
With a pain that I can barely hide?
After all these years, you’re still in my heart
And what’s left for you if I were to start…again?

They say to never lose hope
Or give up your faith
But how is it fair
To make her wait?

We're running out of time
We're running out of time
We're running out of time
We're running out of time

Why do I feel sick inside?
With a pain that I can barely hide?
Is she worth the work to tear out my heart?
And how can we ever be if I were to start…again?

If miracles are real, why don’t we see more of them? The problem is the definition of the word “miracle.” Miracles happen, but when they happen often enough for observers to discern a pattern and describe it, they are simply relabeled as science and no longer called miracles.

Is moving something without touching it a miracle? It is unless it happens all the time in a mathematically consistent way. Then it’s just called gravity.

What about moving around matter by the power of the mind? We do this all the time when we lift a finger. It has been relabeled neurophysiology.

What about mixing air, dirt, and water together into a living figure that dances and sings? That’s called biology. Plants combine air, dirt, and water all the time to build themselves up and are in turn eaten and absorbed by dancers and singers.

What about using positive visualization or prayer to heal the body? It is unless it happens often enough to be measured. Then it’s called a placebo effect.

What about creating something from nothing? Can science explain that? At the subatomic scale, particles pop in and out of existence all the time according to certain statistical laws. These “virtual particles” are how forces are thought to be mediated. Negative mass-energy is also possible when there are attractive forces. For example, a hydrogen atom has slightly less mass-energy than the sum of the electron and proton that make it up because of the electromagnetic force holding them together. In cases where negative mass-energy exactly balances positive to add up to zero, there is no limit on the positive mass-energy that can spontaneously exist. Mass is equivalent to energy through the relationship E=mc^2 and so it is possible for any amount of matter to pop out of nothing so long as the attractive forces holding it together add up to an equal amount. According to some estimates, the amount of mass in the observable universe is equal to the amount of negative energy in gravity it has, meaning that the entire universe might have zero net mass. In other words, the entire universe could have literally popped out of nothing without violating physics, all explained without resorting to intervention by supernatural entities.

The standard model of particle physics is incomplete because it predicts the mass of each fundamental particle and the sum of the quantum vacuum energy fields between them to be infinite. This defies observation. Some have suggested that the universe we see is only a tiny fraction of an infinitely dense sea of reality. In one sense, we no longer need God to explain physics, but what if the infinite quantum vacuum energy is God? Who is to say it isn’t? Something of that complexity would certainly be capable of thought – and probably many other activities far beyond our comprehension. There is no way to predict with any certainty what the nature of an infinitely complex energy field would be. It would mediate all forces and sustain the physical laws through continual intervention (Colossians 1:17, Acts 17:24-29). From this infinite reservoir energy could be added to and taken from the universe we see. Since known physics derives from this deeper physics, occasional violations of what we think of as normal physics could occur and these would be called miracles. It would also explain the evidence of intelligent design we see in creation.

In conclusion, science has already found proof of miracles and may even have found God, but it knows them all by other names. The conflict between science and spirituality is one of semantics.

Sometimes I stay up at night
Thoughts in my head they play and fight
And I wonder how it is I know
That I'm sure I love you so
What if it turns out I've lied?
What if this feeling dies?
And when I can't decide
I hold my fears deep inside

So many days have passed, so long
So many risks, can I take them on?
Shall I hang around when you want me gone?
Abandon you in the middle of my song?

So much hurt of so many kinds
And no solutions around for me find
Where can I turn, no one to help
You know I want no one else

Whatever now can I do?
To be sure my love is true?
It seems there's always more to learn
Another layer down below that churns
Until then I'll do what I can
I'll always be your loyal man
And so I choose to love you so
And this is how I know
