I have been studying about the physical properties of the world, from the scientist's beliefs about the creation to nuclear physics. The more I learn of what has been discovered the more I believe in God. I guess I should say the more proof I have for my own beliefs. I would start with the big bang theory. Scientists that are supposed be modern mans best propose that everything originated from an explosion in the center of the galaxy billions of years ago. The problem I have with believing what the educated scientists propose is they contradict themselves even more often than the religious holy books that they would put aside as some men's fallacy. I have yet to see a decent theory that explains that first atom that created the matter that allowed the big bang in the first place. Where did light or matter come from in the first place? The people that refuse to accept there is a supernatural being that goes beyond mans conceived notions of the world must be crazy. They are blinded to see only the physical elements of the world and refuse to think logically. How did all of this stuff they are playing around with come into being in the first place. I think that for me logically you need to start at the source of something before trying to explain its make up.
For example if I was without knowledge of a chicken or egg lying creatures and came across an egg I might start to analyze it in this way. First the make up from the outside I would say that it is made of calcium and must have originated in the earth. Then after opening it I find that it is made of a liquid with life bearing characteristics. I could conclude that it must be some new form of life coming into existence. It must have been some kind of chemical reaction within the earths crust. I could continue on but if I did not know about the chicken how could I ever reach a correct conclusion of the origin. "What came first the chicken or the egg."? Well since I believe in God, the chicken of course.
We do not have all knowledge available to us of God. That is for sure. I believe that research and advancement or great. The key factor is to always remember to marvel at the wonders that God created.
I have asked many learned scholars this question. Have you ever seen a miracle? Most will answer, no that the prophets only performed miracles and there are no more prophets. Some will get close and say yes, I saw this boy healed from being crippled or something like that. Then I ask, "when was the last one you saw and they might rattle off some date in the past. But I have yet to come across a learned religious individual whom answers with, "look there a tree, look at the sky, smell the air..."
I believe that God has accepted mans search for knowledge and condones it. But God is all knowledge and wisdom. I feel that many scientific observations have accurately described Gods creation. Still there are so many that do not. Basic laws of physics state that all things need something else. Where is that key element that started everything in motion? Scientists now have been able to create matter from raw energy, E = mc2 flipped over. But where did that energy start?
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. King James Revelation Verse 8
Man must step back and open up his mind to imagine a universe with no physical matter as exists today before he will ever see the truth. He must see a universe devoid of all types of matter. No gas, no solids, no molecules, no atoms, no electrons, no...
Maybe we should put it forth as a theory and they will believe it. Lets suppose this is my theory.
Elemental Creation of Nature Theory
In the beginning there was no physical properties as we would be able to analyze under a microscope. In all practical analysis from a physical point the universe did not exist, not even one single atom or ray of light. There existed only one type of element, which is neither gaseous, nor solid; it existed in a state that we have not yet fully analyzed. Lets call this element, God. From this element the universe came into being by emanating from its very nature, which we have no way to analyze fully. From the God element all physical parts of the universe came into being as we know it. From this God element emanated one creature called man. This creature he did not only just create but finished the creation of this animal with the very elements of God.
Now lets look at this from the religious minded few whom have been able to see the truth long before now.
Genesis 1
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2:7
7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
