THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING:

Where does the beginning of a good mystery begin? In the beginning.

The intention herein is not to sound overly preachy, but more so scientific. The beginning is the science of all things. It is the great cause to which all other things are the effect.

Scientifically, there must be a cause for every effect. That means that the cosmos has a first cause. The mystery begins with the first cause. I will use scripture to begin: 

Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (Mark 4:11), and Paul’s role, “to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.  (Ephes 3:9)

 Undeniably, God is mysterious but so is science; Albert Einstein called quantum entanglement, ““spooky action at a distance.” Neils Bohr and Albert Einstein had a never= ending disagreement about just how spooky that one facet of quantum mechanics might be! It remained the greatest mystery ever until it was resolved. (More on entanglement later.)

Another feature of quantum mechanics is how particles of matter and even energy manifest themselves. That God manifested Himself in the flesh seems scientifically impossible, does it not, but in quantum mechanics, all things may be spooky, but they are not impossible.

The concept of gloriousness is little understood. People simplify it as “splendor.” Beginning in 2021, people can now see just how splendorous the cosmos is. The James Watt Space Telescope (JWST) is now floating in space and enlarging things enough that they are remarkable. Not only can its cameras film obvious things but also reveal unseen thins using infrared technology. JWST has removed the interference from the things of the world to reveal so many hidden things never seen before.

Paul wrote that the mystery began in the beginning. Although nobody has to solve the mystery, it is wise to understand that there is a mystery now, and in the beginning, the mystery started.

Why begin with the beginning? That is where the root cause lies! Jesus is the “Vine” that sprang from the “Root” of God; and then we are “rooted and built up in Him” (Col 2:7). The point therein is that life itself emanated from God in a twisted, curly vine of sorts. As such, that we call “God” is the root cause of even mankind. As such, our instincts are indeed partly from Him and partly from elsewhere; let’s call the elsewhere “mutations” because genetics is science and mutations are probability and statistics.

So, I have established, theologically, that the scientific root cause started in the beginning, and science begins with the same argument.

Science is the study of things, or at least it has been until invisible quanta came along. Quanta are the interactions of billions upon billions of (singular) “quantum.” Quanta are like a cloud, or a turbulent wave, but each cluster of them contains individual quantum.

A quantum is no more than a quantity, or packet, of energy. Energy is invisible but manifests itself by its movement. Not to get too creepy, but the Schwarzenegger movie, The Predator, has as its villain an extraterrestrial that is just an invisible existence that our hero fights only by the observation of the effects of its motion on nature.

If God was a predator, rather than a Savior, in the beginning, He would have the same characteristics.

The real “Predator” called the “Serpent” would have been much like that alien being that Arnold fought, and our battle would be much the same. Are you creeped out yet? Well, quantum mechanics is that creepy.

In the beginning includes a predator. It is unfortunate, but that invisible image has been translated as “serpent,” not because it is serpentine in appearance but cunning in manner. So, before, we move on, forget the Serpent for a moment but envision an alien being much like the Predator of the movie of the same name. (Arnold may have ridded himself of that alien being, but it is still around in camouflage. Only when he is stopped can that Predator be identified, just the opposite of the movie’s Predator.)

There was no Serpent in the beginning and no predator whatsoever; there was only God and He was alone.

Would a lone God need a name? Names are required to identify which whatever. God was Existence. Now we begin with the beginning: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). Which God is of no concern because there was only One True God, as Jesus revealed when He proved Himself to be God, “He is the true God and eternal life” (1 John 5:16; NIV).

So, in the beginning is God… That’s it! What was before God? Nothing!

A brain twister is whether space is something or nothing. Science endeavors to explain from where things came, but fail to explain where the nothingness originated. That confuses me as well, but unwittingly science may have explained that, and their explanation suits me very well!

God made two substances and put both into nothingness. The “heaven” and the “earth” are neither distinct places nor even two distinct realms. They are the invisible and the visible. Both are things but things that can be seen and things that cannot.

Science calls the space that heaven and earth was put into a “vacuum.” There is nothing in a vacuum, or so it seems. There is spookiness inside a vacuum to use Einstein’s nomenclature.

We think of vacuums as sucking things from our space into a tank to be discarded. That is our thoughts. A vacuum in science is a large room with nothing within its walls. Space is a “container” of sorts with no walls. It is full of nothing, or so it was thought, and the walls of the tank were infinitely far away. Space is basically a tank without walls to contain it with nothing inside. It was thought that not even light was in space before things were made.

As it turns out the “vacuum tank” is not empty and possibly never has been! Maybe the vacuum was the room of God in the beginning.

God was not created; He was the Creator. So, God did have a room and it went on forever. Wherever there was space within that space was God. In the beginning God means that the ‘Substance” that we should recognize as God was invisible but real. Whether the eye can see things, or not, does not determine their reality. There have always been invisible things.

God is a holy God, and in the beginning was only His Spirit like a cloud that extended throughout the vacuum called “space.”

Soon after all things began, “The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters” (Gen 1:2). The Spirit of God was ruah in the Hebrew, literally a divine “Wind.”

God was/is dynamic. He could be seen, not by vision, but His effects on the face of the waters. Like the Predator of the movie, God is known by His effects on reality.

Paul substantiated that premise to the Romans when he said, “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead” (Rom 1:20).

God made the waters then showed Himself by His movement upon the waters. The water was the object that God acted upon to reveal Himself to whoever wrote that. Nobody else was there but God, so it stands to reason that God later revealed all this stuff to somebody. Most believe God showed Moses the creation while he was on the mountain, but perhaps it was the tour and books about it that Enoch wrote.

The movement of waters is revealed as waves. God disturbed the waters with His Presence and the waters everywhere revealed God.

Figuratively, translated waters, the Hebrew word, “mayim” is semen. If that is true, then the “waters” of scripture may have been cosmic plasma, using my own words. It would be a fluid that within was the seed of all things. That brings to mind quantum fluids, macroscopic substances with quanta of energy within. The cosmos that God made was in the beginning a quantum fluid, if this theory is correct, and it appears from scripture that it is!

So, the “vacuum” was not vacant as was supposed until recent times. As it turns out, there are packets of energy in vacuums; places that were thought empty of everything.

Those packets of energy appear and disappear as quickly as they came. They appear and disappear so quickly that special equipment is required to reveal their existence.

There is not just one packet of energy in a vacuum tank but like a cloud of them with each one switching on and off to appear invisible. With that explained the invisible quanta in the vacuum of space is not God but how science detects God. As such, that cloud of energy throughout the universe is the Dynamics — the Virtue of God.

God lost Virtue, for all things were good, when he completed the creation. He then rested (Gen 2:2). Virtue, in the Greek, is “dynamis.” The creation was dynamic and was by God who released His Virtue to make all things “very good” (Gen 1:31).

Science describes that Virtue as “Quantum Fluids” and “Quantum Fields.” They describe God unwittingly using different terminology. Our God is an Almighty God that is Good. He did good then rested after all things were accomplished, just like any scientific process!

The “Semen” of God in divine “Seminal Fluids” was in science-speak packets of quantum energy. That God is “Almighty,” then has scientific significance; He would be the vast never-ending “Superfluid” of Science.

Do not think that this topic does not make science supreme to God, but for scientists to recognize their “Unknown God”

Einstein believed in a god and so does Michio Kaku, the leading astrophysicists at this time. They even believe(d) in One True God, but not a personal God.

Paul came to the Greek intellectuals and noted something about their knowledge, “For as I passed by and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, ‘To The Unknown God.’ Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you” (Acts 17:23). [1]

Paul spoke of the invisible things of the beginning of the world. He spoke it in Greek. He used the Greek word, “aion.” When he spoke about the world in particular, Paul used the word, “kosmos.” To the wise men at that time, the creation was an aion and the outcome was the cosmos. The former was the cause and the latter the effect.

The latter is easy; the “cosmos” is the universe and all things within it. There is only one universe, by definition, but within it are many heavens, as scripture calls them.

Next, the focus will be on the aion.
