Creating: Becoming a Better Organizer

After reading +Greg Bayles's comment on Google+  I began to think of a recent conversation I had in one of my classes and my previous notions of who God was.  I grew up thinking God created everything, which is true, that a mountain was essential made from nothing.  After learning more about God I have come to find out the true nature of this world, and let me tell you it is just as amazing as thinking he created a mountain from nothing. 

Everything in this world is created from matter.  So our bodies, our favorite foods, the chair we sit on are all made of matter.  This matter is something that existed before the world was created, or in essence organized.  From Joseph Smiths "The King Follett Speech"  he discusses who God is and how the earth was created.  He said,

God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!...You ask the learned doctors why they say the world was made out of nothing, and they will answer, “Doesn’t the Bible say he created the world?” And they infer, from the word create, that it must have been made out of nothing. Now, the word create came from the word baurau, which does not mean to create out of nothing; it means to organize; the same as a man would organize materials and build a ship. Hence we infer that God had materials to organize the world out of chaos—chaotic matter, which is element, and in which dwells all the glory. Element had an existence from the time He had. The pure principles of element are principles which can never be destroyed; they may be organized and re-organized, but not destroyed. They had no beginning and can have no end.

I am in awe that our great creator was the master organizer.  He understood the elements and how to organize them so perfectly that something so complicated like human life could be formed from something so small.  But it is through "small and simple things are great things brought to pass" (Alma 37:6).  Once we understand a subject in its perfect form it is then when we can manipulate and create things.  While I may not completely agree with certain scientific developments, in essence they are perfecting the art of creation much like God has done.  We are able to become like him so it makes sense that new technological developments are coming forth in our society.  I agree with what +Cara Gillespie  said, it truly is fascinating!
