- Seeing God in the Creation:
God gives us a glimpse of His nature in the way He has constructed the physical universe.
Every field of science gives a different perspective of His multifaceted personality.
The natural laws beg for us to recognize the spiritual center of all particulate
and wave phenomenon. Likewise, we see his shadow in the complex organizational structures
of life that include the microscopic cellular machinery, the complex neuro-hormonal
control and feedback systems of living organisms, and the presence of a central consciousness
governing our organism. These works of life and nature speak to His power, creativity,
and imply a purposeful intervention in shaping the creation.
The slim chance of random collisions forming a cell (1 in 1040000) in the space of
109 years makes the hypothesis of God’s intervention the obvious choice when judging
whether such elegant complexity formed by chance or purpose. There is a slim possibility
that we live in a purposeless universe that has no more meaning than the existential
hopelessness portrayed in the writings of Albert Camu, Samuel Becket, and Nietzsche.
Millions have embraced this meaningless life-paradigm over a faith in the hope-filled
life that follows from loving God and neighbor as self. The fact of this widespread
seduction speaks to the power God has given to His love-adversary, the Accuser of
the Bretheren – Satan.
- The elemental simplicity of the subatomic world allows us to come closer to isolating
the causative forces operating in the universe. From this foundational perspective
we can see the actors, forces, and sequences that result in the more complex interactions
that manifest as mass, space, energy and time. Much of the complexity that disguises
God’s presence dissolves at the subatomic level where we can more easily see evidence
of the direct manifestation of consciousness and spirit as particles follow God’s
rules of interaction. In the examination of the various physical phenomenon that
we have explained in terms of the Theory of Absolutes, we will consider hypothetical
mechanisms of action by which the conscious particles interact and thereby manifest
the laws of nature.
