Tonight after church, my wife and I picked up dinner at La hacienda Real (very good!) and decided to watch a Naked Science show about the chemistry of sexual attraction, romantic love and long lasting bonding. It was interesting to say the least.
Of course in this National Geographic show, evolution and science was the answer to everything. However, I could see God in the mix. I believe that God has integrated all of the immune system matching, chemical inducing agents in our physiology- these things didn't evolve or solely happen as part of a selection process. The details are so precise, it had to be designed.
One key element that stuck out like a sore thumb to me was the production of oxytocin in both males and females when they have sex. This chemical compound actually "bonds" a male and female together in their brains each time they mate. This chemical bonding constantly reinforces the long term loving relationship. I can't help but think of the scripture which may help back it up.
Matthew 19:4-6 (New International Version)
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
We serve an amazing, detail-oriented God whom knows us inside and out.
Good Night
