My personal Bible is short. Here it is: IT IS. DIG IT. Amen. But for purposes here, I'll elaborate a bit. In the begining, there is nothing. No space. No Matter. No energy. Nothing is God. God is everything. No energy is actually a balanced state of infinite energy. An simple parallel would be: +1 & -1 = 0 or +inf & -inf = 0 This God energy has properties of its own. These properties are not within the confines our the physics, that we have become familiar with, but there are probably some universal similarities. And so the God energy has its flow and variation all within dimensionless unity. (Space and time does not exist.) Now at this point, there are 2 choices of thought. 1. The God energy has an intelligence and control over itself. 2. The God energy has no intelligence and is random. This will make a difference, to some, in the later aspects of this post. (Personally, I don't think that it really matters.) Part of the physics of God energy involves this flow and variation that I've mentioned. At a certain point an "energy of activation" (a parallel of a chemical reaction process) is exceded. When this occurs, it creates what we could call a "Bang". A Bang will create a "Bubble" of Space and a "Bubble" of "Anti-space" . These Bubbles will exist for some period of "Time" and contain precursors of matter and anti-matter respectively. Time and Space and Dimension exist within these bubbles. Time of existence of a Bubble can be extremely short but if the Bang is Big enough, the Bubble can exist long enough for the developement of a "Universe". (I won't talk about the Time that takes us from the "Big Bang" to our current state of being, as the "History" of our universe is not the immediate concern of this post.) (I will also save the details of my "Bubble" theory of the finite universe for another time.) So there you have it. That's why we exist. So, IF the God energy has an intellegence and contol over itself, then you can think of things in this manner; God, even though omnipotent, was bored out of his mind. So He creates universes so that he can have enjoyment. (A parallel would be parents that live vicariously through their children's activities.) All the universe is part of God. As it developes, He experiences it all. Time and Space is not a barrier to God. He is everywhere. The developement of the universe affects us and every little choice that we make affects the further developement of the universe to some degree. There is reason for religion and prayer. What IF the God energy is just randon and not contolled by any sort of intelligence? We are all still part of the same unity. The developement of the universe still affects us the same and each of our choices still affect the further developement of the universe. So the difference (if there really are any) comes down to choices of right and wrong. If we are not trying to please God, then what is right and wrong? For me, the answer is survival. (I won't elaborate in this post but just a basic thought follows.) Not just for the individual but the species. And one must understand how we are all part of the same God energy to make the correct choices for survival even if that energy is just random.
