If you really want to go with puzzling I would say things like the string theory, or how the universe is 'expanding' alot of heavy astro physics and quantum theory kinda throws my mind for a loop granted much of it is based on theory and observation created in order to explain the circumstance as it occurs without the use of 'God'. Other things like dark matter / dark energy intrigue me. Supposedly the universe's mass is made up of approximately 70% Dark Energy, 24% Dark Matter, and 6% everything else. Interestingly enough we cannot under normal means observe or 'measure' dark energy or dark matter. We just know it's there and that without it the universe as we know it is no longer at a balance. We can't measure it we can't observe it we can't quantify it in any way but we know its there or else the universe makes no sense...sounds like science's term for God does it not lol gosh I love science

I would suggest reading, and digesting, Aristotle's "Metaphysics". It teaches the truth that all theories come from within us, can be anticipated, and are sifted through not only by what satisfies the experimental data, but also by what makes us "feel good" when we believe it. It is a really great balance to learn, so that you as a scientist, do not believe a "theory" is "proven", as so many scientists now believe of so many theories without God. Here's a good translation The Internet Classics Archive | Metaphysics by Aristotle and some critical interpretation from a trustworthy, but not a scientific, source: Aristotle's Metaphysics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
physicists, what they are actually looking for is to merge Macro physics(Newtonian/classical mechanics) with Micro physics(modern/quantum) physics - the problem lies here - We all know that Micro anything - microeconomics has an effect on macroeconomics, but for some reason micro in the physics realm has for the most part no relation to the macro
ie: It doesn't matter for a ball falling from a height, that an electron can occupy two places simultaneously at once
String theory is the idea that electrons are made of parts called quarks - and these quarks are connected together like a string - and they vibrate in order to appear as say an electron - vibrate it another way it may appear as a neutron
Someone tried to make this connection - that if all matter is created upon vibration - sound is a vibration - God spoke the world into existence... I thought that was cool

That God gave us a book called the Holy Bible, scriptures, to reveal His redemptive plan for human kind. And that God gave another book, the book of nature that also reveals God's attributes and character. These two books, used properly, will harmonize together to give an enhanced understanding of God, our origins, purpose and destiny.
Psalms 19
19 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
[SUP]8 [/SUP]The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
Romans 1:19-20 (speaking of the unsaved)
[SUP]19 [/SUP]because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. [SUP]20 [/SUP]For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

I agree I read an interesting article in regards to quarks where when scientists were able to get into that small subatomic scale they noticed the quarks vibrated and responded to sound and or a voice. Now imagine, if everything we know it in the world is made of atoms, which are made up of quarks which appear to be 'activated' or 'resonate' to sound, whomever has the voice 'frequency' we will call it to command or make the quarks act, would essentially be able to make/create anything with the act of speaking commands to them...HMMM anyone see God in this?
I would want to know where great oil reserves were located on the earth. And that is exactly what happened to a Director of the Standard Oil Company.
The Director happened to read Exodus 2:3, which records that the ark of bulrushes that Moses' mother made to carry him was "daubed with slime and with pitch."
The Director reasoned that where there was pitch, or tar, there must also be oil,, and if oil existed in Moses' time, it was probably still there. So, he dispatched Charles Whitshott, a geologist and oil expert, to investigate. And sure enough, great deposits of oil were discovered.
For every discovery, I would surely thank God for imparting me the wisdom. But,, I'm happy being a househusband & daddy.

So, I will be even more specific about the rest of the replies
I am writing a book, specifically for Christians who want to purse fields in Science, there is a lot of push-back and retaliation if you say your Christian, and there is temptation to shy away from being bold, or from standing for what you believe, and a push to get you to reject Genesis 1-11 and other realities of Scripture. Almost like a survival book!
It is based on my experiences, my research, what God has taught me and so on. I want things that I wish I would have known before I started in college, those types of things.(even though I got saved in my Geology program) Does this make sense?
