There’s a lot we don’t know about our universe — in fact, 95% of it remains a mystery to us.
-
In my following simplified explanation of what the world’s greatest geniuses are still investigating I don’t claim to be completely accurate, only to give an idea of some of what is being explored in Physics – the science that deals with the structure of matter, the nature of energy, and the forces controlling them.
To be “quantized” means to be consistently measurable.
“A quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction”.
Defining a physical entity in terms of its interaction seems odd, but that’s because extremely small objects simultaneously have the characteristics of both 1) particles of mass and 2) transfer of energy / waves within a discrete area, exactly like waves of water in the ocean.
Physicists call this the “wave / energy -particle / mass duality.”
-
Think of how macroscopic water molecules are both 1) mass which lies at rest at the seashore in which children can safely play, and also 2) as the waves of energy, which as a tsunami can wreak US$10b of damages and over 200,000 deaths.
-
A tiny quantum wave is measured just like a massive ocean wave, which, logically, means it must be consistently constrained, or forced together, within 1) a time frame of measurement, and in a system – where the units are forced together in a bound state – like the ocean’s surrounding wind overhead, floor beneath, and the dry land all around.

23) Statistics Validate Belief In God
- From the Department of Health and Social Behavior, Harvard School of Public Health: intimate relations exist between mathematics and material reality, that counting and categorizing are the currency of durable knowledge, and that empirical study of variegated humanity…can uncover universal truths.
- Incidence and prevalence are measures used to describe patterns in communities.
Incidence measures the number of new persons experiencing a condition within a population, during a given period of time.
Prevalence measures the total number of people within the total population experiencing a condition during a given period of time.
- From a research perspective, the place to start investigating the reality of a religious belief is the statistical evidence of
-
- high incidence – consistently high numbers of new believers over time
- and high prevalence – consistently high numbers of adherents over time.
Religion has been a factor of the human experience since pre-historic to modern times. There is no culture recorded in human history which has not practiced some form of religion. This fact alone lends credibility to believing in religion.
24) Provenance Validates The Bible
- Origin – derivation of a source
- Source –
-
The history of ownership of a valued object, or work of art or literature
-
The provenance for any religious text or belief can only be derived from its Author Being
- the Origin of what it describes
- therefore the Autho-rity / Sustainer to prevent degenerate into chaos over time
- therefore the Sustainer of Life throughout eternity after Time ends.
The Written Word Is The Final Authority
In the medical and legal professions where life and death hang in the balance, before a diagnosis like “cancer” or a verdict of “guilty” can be made, the evidence on which the determination has been made has to be documented in writing and presented as proof.
The Bible follows, even more stringently, the same written documentation process. Significantly, the God of the Bible does not expect humans to take anything on blind trust in a revelation – even by himself.
25) Creation Science
“Creation Science” emerged in its modern form with the 1961 publication of The Genesis Flood by John Whitcomb and Henry Morris.
“”In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in…the same day [all at once] were
- all the fountains of the great deep [on earth] broken up,
- and the windows of heaven were opened…forty days and forty nights.” (Genesis 7:10-12)
“If a worldwide flood actually destroyed the entire antediluvian human population, as well as all land animals, except those preserved in a special Ark constructed by Noah…then its historical and scientific implications are tremendous.”
Indeed yes, because “as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man…The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Luke 17:26-27, Genesis 6:12-13)
Unlike charlatans’ predictions which are hit or miss, biblical prophecies are credible because scientifically validated biblical accounts of past identical occasions prove them trustworthy.
And the world-wide cataclysmic flooding that left unmistakable geological evidence during Noah’s flood previously happened, leaving even more trace evidence, during creation.
“In the beginning God created…the earth. And the earth [AKA soil] was [came to be] without form [i.e. liquified], and void [empty]; and darkness [the opposition to God’s creative light, i.e. destructive force of evil] was upon the face of the deep [surging mass of water].
Multiple geochemical studies have concluded that asteroid hits are most likely the primary source of Earth’s water. The sequence of originally dry earth to inundated is established by the dry earth’s resurfacing, and by Job’s parallel account.
“Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding…Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof…And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,” (Job 38:4-10)
“And God said, Let the waters [multiplicity indicated by plurality] under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so. And God called the dry [land] Earth (singular), and the collection of the waters (plural, both above and under the heaven) he called Seas (plural) (Genesis 1:9-10)
The biblical account is validated by geological science’s discovery of Pangea, also spelled Pangaea, in early geologic time, a supercontinent that incorporated almost all the landmasses on Earth…surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa…was first proposed in 1912 by German meteorologist Alfred Wegener.

26) No Time In Creation
The 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial charged high school biology teacher John Scopes with breaking the law by teaching Darwinian evolution in a public school. He was in fact guilty of breaking existing law, and duly convicted. Therefore his renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow argued for a bigger issue – eliminating the Bible as a credible source of history and science and relegating it to personal faith.
This was a problem for the elite who were at the forefront of intellectual developments but also identified as Christian to be acceptable to the masses. Hence options for interpretation were inserted into the Genesis account of creation to account for evolution.
science knows human beings have lived on the earth far longer than the few thousand years covered by the Bible.
Note – this assumes that evolution is a “really proven science” which it is not.
the truth is that the Bible nowhere says that Adam was the first man…— it merely says that Adam was the first man of a new [creation] or the White race.
Wow! Bald faced lie! Note the failure to provide the biblical reference for this statement, and the obfuscation of the clear biblical statement, supported by historical sources such as Herodotus and scientific sources such as DNA evidence as presented in later posts, that the white race is descended from Noah’s son Japheth after a catastrophe wiped out the majority of humanity.
Moving on with this misinterpretation:
27) Who You Are Is What You Do
When we meet a stranger we want to get to know better, their personal name only distinguishes them from other individuals in a small group, so we ask about their verbs – “What do you do?”
In other words, what describes your accomplishments or activities. For example, when we read about Napoleon, is it the conqueror Napoleon I, or the listless and alienated Napoleon Dynamite?
Let’s start at the very beginning of the Bible.

28) God Is Light
-
Defining light is a bit of a philosophical quandary. Light’s true identity…is unanswerable.
It might be better to concentrate on what light does. Light manipulates matter by moving the charged particles in atoms which make up all substance.
-
-
-
In other words, light’s identity is force, exactly as Einstein framed it as e=mc2: 1) energy / charge = 2) mass 3) with the applied force of m2, which is the speed of light squared which is mathematical notation for infinity.
In other words, the true identity of light is the Creator God of the Bible.
“God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (I John 1:5)
The only philosophical quandary is humanism’s utter rejection of a power or intelligence greater than themselves despite the facts.
-
29) I Am = Universal Consciousness
-
It is profoundly significant that philosophers speculating on the origins of existence correspond to the Creator’s designation of himself as “I am” in stark contrast to physical science whose “Scientists simply don’t know where consciousness comes from, or what it’s made of.”
“And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses…say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.” (Exodus 3:13-14)
According to philosopher James (1890) “Me” reflects self-consciousness observed from a person’s point of view,
“I”, on the other hand, is rooted in one of the oldest branches of philosophy – meta-physics – which simply means beyond what can be observed, examining the nature of existence and the relationship between matter and mind, therefore is conceptual, unable to be proven by experimentation.
30) The Word = The Force Of Creation
John’s gospel’s overwhelmingly Gentile readership is evidenced by his use of metaphorical and euphemistic language understood by Gentiles, and the prominence of Philip, one of the 12 apostles, being mentioned by name 11 times.
Philip’s name alone identifies him as thoroughly Hellenized, undoubtedly by his parents who named their son after the famous father of the even more famous Greek warlord Alexander the Great, predecessor to the infamous Greek warlord Antiochus Epiphanes whose brutal efforts to destroy Judaism reverberate to this day. In the strongest possible repudiation of Jewish identity, this was the equivalent of Jewish holocaust survivors naming their son Adolf.
The psychological dissonance which that split personality generated may have propelled Philip into hating / rejecting his parents when he chose to follow Jesus as the Hope of Israel, but his upbringing uniquely enabled him to culturally interface with non-Jews – Greek widows, the Samaritans, the Ethiopian eunuch, and outreach in the Gentile city of Caesarea to introduce them to Jesus.
