There is a compelling interest in the world of science to resurrect the animals that have once been alive, but due to attrition, have become extinct. Over the past few years, a number of authors and filmmakers have responded to this idea and produced a number of books and a blockbuster movie on the idea...
Much progress has developed using a number of techniques to reacquire the basic building block of the animals. The science of it goes something like this. . . You must first obtain a nonfossilized sample of bone(it’s the only thing that doesn’t immediately deteriorate), drill a hole in it about the size of your pinkie finger, take that sample and grind it up into a fine powder. After that you mix it into a water based solution and then mix it with magnesium, heat it to 150 degrees to break the DNA chain into two pieces, cool it down and then you will have about a million copies of dodo gene in a test tube.
There are times in our lives where we must resurrect things in our past in order to succeed in the present. In fact, those times can serve as our only saving grace. There is a compulsion of looking into the past as that is where stability starts. A new building cannot survive unless the building is anchored deeply to a firm foundation. The past serves as an anchor. . . it was a learned man of old that would espouse that “I know a man by his past.”
Essential to the process is a non fossilized portion of bone. It can’t be hardened and brittle, as this is relegates it to absolute deadness. It must be a segment with some life. That is the way it is with our spiritual lives. . .there is a compelling reason that the Holy Ghost is spoken of as being “alive.” There is a reason that the numerous miracles are in the tome of scripture. It reflects for us the way that things have been, but more importantly, how things have to be now. The Bible is very much alive. . . but sometimes men can be dead. Resurrecting can involve reaching into the past. . .for Lazarus, it was reaching into the caves of unbelief and the grave.
Both are deadly to living.
Both are essential to living now.
The questions of life often revolve around what we will do with today. Use the past to anchor your present...
To be continued.
