You need to come full circle. Just sayin.

If "looking something up" is how being "intellectual" is defined, then the word "intellectual" pretty much loses its meaning.

That's right. You have to google it to be intellectual these days. 👨‍🏫

there are only two certain things i know.

creation precedes destruction.
order precedes chaos.

all things written on paper by man extolling a religion are just words on paper penned by man, for man and about a subjective experience.

Order always precedes chaos?

Ever seen God in creation?
Ever seen the beginning of time?
Ever seen the Big Bang?
Ever seen something come from nothing?
Ever seen the back side of the moon? Oh, scratch that one! 🙃

No to all.
What has that got to do with what I asked?

Ya, you know. Like when I make a nice orderly post that's coherently organized and spot on to the point, and then someone like you comes along and makes chaos out of it. 😂

Or the laws of physics, which, once created by God, becomes a tool of God.

Be patient dive. I have a few ideas in the works. And don't worry. It's guaranteed you'll find opportunity for full expression of yourself.

lol.

Somebody once said - "I don't know who it was who first discovered the ocean. But I am pretty sure it wasn't a fish."

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. "(Gen 1:1)

is like someone outside of the ocean letting the fish living there get a bigger picture of the situation.

I keep listening. I keep looking into the OTHER things being said. It is an accumulated case built up in the Bible. All in all I feel safe to believe that God is trying to communicate with us.

And when I get to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John this speaker, I am persuaded, has come to live among us to reveal Himself even more.

Keep reading.

Chance is yet to bring order to the chaos in my daughter’s bedroom. Waiting another billion years won’t change that.

The formation of the universe was one of chaos, not design. However, from that chaos, on Earth at least, order was established.
