... a little child will lead them.
Isaiah 11:6
THERE'S SOMETHING AWESOME about the imprint heaven in the innocence of a child. No sooner does a child learn to talk than he voices the great interrogative question " Why?" Many questions then pour forth from the mouth of the child. "Why do I have to drink my milk? Why do l have to pick up my toys? Why Mommy?"
Dr Hugh Ross, a Christian scientist and apologist, sees human curiosity as one of the evidence of God's existence. Believing that the curiosity of humans is different from that of animals, he writes, " while cats may be content to play with string and stones and bouncing crickets, human want to understand everything there is to know about string. Stones, and crickets. Birds look to the star patterns in the night to guide them in their essential migrations, but human seek to make sense of the pattern and understand starlight itself.
Human ask, "What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it?/ where did universe and its life forms comes from? Why is everything the way it is? Human are the only animals to asked such questions, and some individuals invest(or risk) their lives to gain answers."
Ross concludes, "God made people so intensely curious that in their drive to study all aspect of the cosmos, including their own minds and hearts, they would discover clues that point unmistakably to Him."
No wonder David wrotes, "when I consider your heavens, the work if your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care of him?" (Psalm8:3-4). David's curiously brought him to God. Yours as well.
