Christianity and Quantum Physics
Christianity and Quantum Physics
This essay is to make an analogy between Christian faith teachings and Quantum Physics,
The book of Genesis starts with
the account of the beginnings when God
created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1).
“And 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.[1]” (2).
The
earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep
According to the gap theory, there was
a long period between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. God created a different world that was later destroyed by a cataclysmic event,
possibly related to Satan’s rebellion. This world was then re-created by God in
six literal days (in God’s timeframe, one day is like a thousand days, and a thousand days is
like one day as described in Genesis 1:3-31). The gap theory attempts to
reconcile the biblical account of creation with the scientific evidence of an
old Earth and the fossil record.
“Spirit
of God moved upon the face of the waters”
“But they deliberately forget that long
ago by God’s word the heavens came into being, and the earth was formed
out of the water and by water.”
(2 Peter 3:5).
If you remove the oxygen from water, the
hydrogen component becomes an unbound free gas, and the water turns into hydrogen
gas. The oceans would
evaporate and bleed into space1. As soon as the water begins to cool off, it reabsorbs oxygen. Both mechanical and chemical methods are used to remove dissolved oxygen
from water.
God is Light
God is Light (1 John 1:5). At the
beginning, the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Then, the Spirit of God is analogous to the Hydrogen gas – a colorless, odorless, tasteless, flammable gaseous
substance that is the
simplest family member of the chemical elements. You cannot see the Hydrogen
gas, cannot smell it, touch it, or taste it, but it is a highly flammable
substance. You can use this gas for the benefit of society but can use it to destroy society, too.
God is Love but is a consuming fire, too.
God, a Consuming Fire
In Numbers 16:35 - “Fire
also came forth from the Lord and
consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.”
Deuteronomy 4:3 –
“Your
eyes have seen what the Lord has
done in the case of Baal-peor, for all the men who followed Baal-peor,
the Lord your God has destroyed
them from among you.”
Judges 20:35 – “And the Lord struck Benjamin before Israel,
so that the sons of Israel destroyed 25,100 men of Benjamin that day, all who
draw the sword.”
1 Samuel 6:19 – “He struck down some of the men of
Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. He struck down of all the people,
50,070 men, and the people mourned because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.
Psalm 78:31 – “The anger of God rose against them and
killed some of their stoutest ones and subdued the choice men of Israel.”
Lamentations 2:4 – “He has bent His bow like an enemy; He
has set His right hand like an adversary and slain all that were pleasant to
the eye; In the tent of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out His wrath like fire.”
God is Love
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.”
1 John 4:8 – “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
Jeremiah 31:3 - "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness."
Zephaniah 3:17 – “The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
Romans 5:8 – “But
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.”
Corinthians 13:1-13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away all I have, and if I
deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not
love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
7 Love
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
12 For now
we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then
I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of
these is love.
And
many, many more bible verses with the word Love of God
[1] Thales of Miletus was the first Greek
philosopher to propose the ultimate nature of the world, conceived based on a first and last element: water. For the pre-Socratic philosopher Thales of
Miletus, water is the beginning of all things that exist. Water is the origin
that began the universe, an idea that the Greeks called arche (from the Greek ἀρχή, source, beginning or origin). In this way, the first Western theory about the physical world was born.
[2].
The Bible says that one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is
like one day in 2 Peter 3:81. This verse refers to God's eternity and his
patience with humanity. God is not limited by time like we are, but he
transcends it. For him, the past, present, and future are one reality.
Therefore, we should not think that God has forgotten his promise to return but that he is waiting for more people to repent and be saved. “The Lord is not
slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient
toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach
repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9).
