I tried to walk my wife through the last post and she smiled in her cute way and politely stated that this kind of stuff is beyond her. That’s cool - maybe it’s way beyond me as well. I write these kinds of posts late at night after a few wines so maybe they are in the realm of la la land.
Then again, maybe they’re not. I was listening to the sound track of The Animatrix I was writing that last night and felt quite inspired by the soft drum and bass/electronic vibe of the music - not to mention the entire content of the film.
If you bothered watching the video’s, the closing statements in the second go along the lines of this:
Super strings vibrating in the 10th dimension are what make up our sub-atomic particles in our universe. Therefore all possibilities are contained within the 10th dimension.
How do you feel about this reality? A scientist would be tripping out with mind boggling possibilities. A Christian would instantly think “God”.
You’ve probably heard the question, “if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it fall, did it make a sound?” Well quantum physics says that if no-one was observing that tree, then it didn’t exist in the first place. Confusing? I agree. Some scientists have committed suicide as they grappled with the reality of quantum physics. This science has literally discovered the edge of reality.
As confusing as it may seem, it is also completely predictable. The fact that you are sitting there and reading this post right now was made available with technology derived from quantum physics. In their pursuit to make computers even faster, tech geek’s are now looking at Quantum Computers to dramatically increase the power of computers.
But what does all this have to do with the way I ended my last post? Let’s have a look at Psalm 2 again..
“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”
OK here is my stab at this passage. It could be way off the mark, but I need to nut it out. Here we have mankind declaring war on God. In my understanding of history, I don’t think this has happened yet!
The setting is one of rage against God and a plot is birth to achieve a very specific aim - to “burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” In light of what we have talked about, I find this very interesting. Man will aim to “burst their bonds” and “cast away their cords” - hmmm sounds like super string theory to me.
Super string theory is the latest thinking in theoretical physics - the aim to get that all elusive “theory that binds all the laws of the universe together.” My prediction is that science will discover the reality of God very soon. When it does, a fallen and depraved mankind will freak at the notion that we are controlled by a higher power than ourselves. Little do they understand that this “higher power” has given us a free will.
The Good Book says that in Christ, all things are held together. I strongly believe that this includes our “reality” as much as our “theology.” If you look at a nuclei and observe the protons and electrons spinning around it like crazy, the force keeping those protons and electrons in orbit is mind boggling and scientists haven’t really nailed the origin of that force. Yet it’s this force that makes things solid in our dimension. The fact that your fingers can type on a keyboard comes from the atomic binding of your skin clashing with the atomic binding of your keyboard.
And yet the space between the nuclei and the proton and electrons is vast. A good analogy is if you were a nuclei and you were standing in the middle of a football field, your protons and electrons would be spinning around the boundary lines. Mind you, you are a speck and so are your protons and electrons. So in reality, your physical mass is nothing at all. It’s the energy binding you to your protons and electrons which makes you solid.
I believe this “energy” is Christ holding all things together. The Creator God in a dimension so far beyond our ability to comprehend - the Bible calls this eternity - playing on those super strings and holding together the reality of mankind in the palm of His hand. When you look at it this way, Jesus’ ability to perform miracles becomes a scientific reality and completely “do-able.”
It staggers me to think that mankind will one day declare war against God. But I laugh with God at His response..
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.
I can almost imagine God bursting into laughter as He looks at mankind. Then as His laughter subsides and turns into wrath, He utters..”But Jesus.”
