  • Science, a Place for God

    The following is my stated theory to define creation.

    The universe consists of an infinite amount of space. Any area of space,
    large or small, can only be defined by using other points of reference and units of measurement. For this reason, there is no boundary set on our universe. An infinite vacuum must have always existed, much the same as all real numbers from negative infinity to positive infinity exist in mathematics. Any one number can be easily defined, but by itself is of little value in defining an area of space.

    Time is not linear. It has been proven that time is constant from any given viewpoint, but from external viewpoints it varies on the speed in which the given viewpoint is traveling. An example would be to place yourself in a hypothetical space vessel. If you flew by our solar system close to light speed, time within your space vessel would continue normally. If you ran around in front of the windows, however, and assuming that someone on Earth could see your ship (since there is some question as to whether optical effects would be caused by a vessel travelling at almost the speed of light) they would see you standing completely still. Another problem is that time around you would advance at an incredible rate. For every second that goes by during life
    on your ship, hundreds of years may pass on Earth. For this reason, relative time travel is possible, but only forward, never backwards. We also know that at absolute zero (0°K) matter at at least the molecular level comes to a standstill. And if matter can not move, no time
    will progress for the matter.

    It is known that matter can be created from pure energy and that pure energy can be released from matter. Albert Einstein’s equation, e=mc² shows that the amount of energy required or released in a matter/energy conversion is enormous and directly proportionate to the speed of light to the power of 2 (or at least 2 as some scholars may argue). For all matter that exists, there must be, elsewhere in the universe, an equal amount of anti-matter. The definition accepted for anti-matter is identical to that of known matter with one exception. When a quantity of matter is presented to its anti-matter counterpart, the reaction, which can not be replicated by mankind, is a complete, total, and instant conversion to pure energy. For this reason, anti-matter (assuming it exists) can not be anywhere in the vicinity of matter, otherwise neither would exist in their respective states. At one time, however, the energy that matter and anti-matter are comprised of must have come from the same source.

    An explosion, like the Big Bang theory, would have had enough
    energy of its own to instantly separate the matter and anti-matter and
    discharge them off in opposing directions from one another. In theory, when you look up at the night sky, half of the galaxies you see could be comprised of completely matter and the other half would be completely anti-matter. This may not be the case, however. The galaxies that consist of anti-matter may even be beyond the range of even our most powerful telescopes.

    Science’s place for God exists in the pure energy that created our known
    universe. For this reason, the Bible is subjectively correct in many ways.
    One would be that God is all around us. Since the matter and energy all around us is a product of that original Big Bang, this would seem correct. Also, since we are made of the same matter and energy as created the rest of the universe, the fact that we were created in God’s image also holds true. And if someone were around back then, the creation of Earth and the first man in a figurative sense over a matter of a week or so is pretty close to what one would have seen during Genesis, although it may have taken much longer to take shape.
