IF we evolved over time via time + chance, from the remnants of a so-called big bang, then why would the "Beautiful Mystery" emerge from all that?
"Music is much more than entertainment, plenary speaker Bronwen Landless told the more than 800 attendees from 106 countries during the 3rd Global Conference on Health and Lifestyle, held at Loma Linda University, July 9-13, 2019.
“Individually and collectively we as humans recognize the power of music” to motivate, inspire, change, and heal us, Landless said. “It’s a beautiful mystery.”
Music was used therapeutically as far back as 1025 BC in the biblical story of David, when he played his harp for King Saul, said Landless, assistant professor of music therapy at the Shenandoah Conservatory of Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, United States. “Saul would ‘become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him’” (And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him. 1 Samuel 16:23, NKJV), she noted.
It was when music as therapy was recognized and used in Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals in the United States in the 1940s, following World War II, that the need for formalized training in the United States became evident, Landless said."
