Atomic Clock Vs. The Earth

I read an interesting news story today about how scientists have to adjust the world’s atomic clock in order to account for actual time this year. In other words, 2006 comes a second later. I didn’t know this before, but the world moves at a non-perfect, more organic, pace according to scientists (due to various reasons) and although the atomic clock is pretty much perfect, the earth is more organic and changes.

I found that reality interesting and comforting. As a follower of Jesus and one who believes God created the world, however he did it, it is comforting that God created it beyond our scientific measurements. Even though we may have designed and “perfected” the atomic clock, the world isn’t that easy to understand or predict.

It is amazing to think God’s creation is beyond our scientific measurement and we have to adjust our measurements to it.

P.S. In the Google Fight of Atomic Clock verses The Earth, The Earth wins by over 100 times the amount of Atomic Clock.
