Explosions

Today's thought-project: explosions are fascinating things. I think that what I didn't understand (and to a certain extent, I still don't) are how explosions work.

I mean think for a second. A tiny bomb detonates, and suddenly power quite literally explodes out of that little package. It's like a punch from every conceivable direction and my question becomes: where does the power come from? The obvious answer, which is through a chemical reaction, does make sense, but how does it release such power? Again, yes, science explains the mechanics, but it has to do with bonds and the energy contained in bonds and when the bonds are broken and recreated, something explodes. Of course I'm probably misunderstanding some of the science, since I don't quite know, nor care really, to actually find the answer. I suppose it's the thought behind the explosion.

So much energy was put into the creation of the bond that it makes me wonder how chance created such bonds to the point that a world was created. Perhaps to me, such thinking seems highly improbably, which mathematically, it is. And in thinking of explosions, it gets me to think that perhaps, intelligent design is not all that incorrect.

This is half-baked and half-explained. I may have to come back to this later.
