Either life is one hundred percent evolutionary, random, meaningless, “dog eat dog” world, or it is one hundred percent organized, meaningful!

The question arises, not that we don’t believe, rather we don’t understand! but is there anything more understandable than the fact, that whoever put the infinite pieces of this puzzle together, from atoms forming a dna code, to gathering more atoms to form you, to form me, to form everything we see (organic,) from the way atoms interact (a single wrong turn creates a nuclear explosion) the countless other forces we see but cannot understand; say a wave of gravity holding everything in its place in the universe; the force that expands the universe, so it doesn’t implode; the forces that unite men and women etc. etc.; so think about how smart you need to be to be able to create this! now think, is there any chance you and I will ever be able to figure out the brain, the plan, the exact reason behind each and every detail that has occurred? – even if we were to live for an infinite amount of years, our brain power is simply too small to be able to even study piecemeal – which is how we study – any of these phenomena, never mind all!
To question injustice is not a bad thing, the Rebbe teaches; it’s a good thing! the greatest believer in history, Abraham, questioned God, justice! the world is set up that we should question God! we should demand from God, Moshiach! an end to all suffering! but when it comes to our personal life, to give up on God because a few details don’t fit, is like the example the Rebbe gives of a man who comes into an office building and sees every office on a hundred floors is organized, but two offices on floors 101 and 102 have an arrangement of furniture he never saw, so concludes, that as I don’t understand 101 and 102 the entire thing must be random, meaningless!
