life isn't science

I just realized why i like baking so much. Besides the fact that it is pure comfort food and that it is so yummy and makes people happy.
Baking is a science, it is precise. Few things in life are as predictable as baking. You need to measure carefully and when all ingrediants are added together in the proper amounts, the result is something not only amazing and delicious but expected!
Another baking realization is about experience. I can tell you being as articulate and colorful as possible what a brownie tastes like but until you actually taste it and experience for yourself you don't really know what it is and how it tastes.
Just like other life experiences; the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, a divorce. Until you experience these first hand you really can't know for sure what it feels like or looks like or how it plays out.
Also, just like the bible; it details how to live rightly and Jesus explains what the best course is for our lives. Proverbs does a pretty good job colorfully illustrating what is right and wrong, what is wise and foolish. Psalms is beautifully written and way over the top in its descriptions of worship. Jesus tells us how to relate to others, how to serve, how to love, how to live holy. But until you actullay experience these things for yourself, its all just words and theory and speculation.
Life is not science; its unpredictable, its complicated, its messy, its experiential, its subjective.....but not baking, that's why I like it!
