I've heard for years from people who are self-proclaimed
geniuses about the absurdity of the Bible’s claim that God spoke everything
into existence. And, by proxy, all those
who believe in the Bible are similarly absurd.
Of course, every logical argument requires some sort of evidence; in
which, these “geniuses” cite particle physics, complicated mathematical
equations, and advanced cosmological theories.
The claim is that these advanced theories by modern man are the end-all
of knowledge and any theory written by a book over three millennia old is
obsolete. And, with that, the Bible is
obsolete.
But, there is trouble in this atheistic utopian nerd paradise. Particle physics has several BIG problems,
such as: the singularity of the Big Bang, the incompatibility of Quantum Field
Theory and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and, why gravity is so much weaker
than the other forces. The “geniuses”
have discovered that it’s much simpler and cleaner if the gaps in their
hyperbolas are merely ignored…because, infinity can be such a drag in their
theories. And, when you challenge the
theories of these “geniuses”, we get the
standard Chris Farley rebuttal of, “Well, I think your brain has a thick candy
shell.” Brilliance….
And, then…there was String Theory. A challenger to particle physics, String
Theory achieves so much more than we could have ever imagined. Are there problems with String Theory? Yes.
But, with time, many of these problems may be resolved. It is important to remember that modern
particle physics has been around for several centuries (quantum physics for
nearly 100 years) and String Theory has only seen a boom in the last 20 or so
years.
String Theory challenges modern science in many ways. One mind-blowing thought is that particles
are actually vibrating strings (or something like a string) that creates a
disturbance around it. This disturbance
gives it the appearance of a particle.
Think of it this way…say you take a speaker and boom Chris Brown hip hop
into a bucket of water. What happens to
the water? It moves and shakes…as if it
wants to vomit. That’s the premise to
String Theory: a vibration or sound is moving space and creating a disturbance
that looks like a particle.
So, how do these sounds create different “particles”? Think of your voice. The sound of each individual’s voice is at a
frequency that is entirely unique to that person. The sound of your voice is unique to
you. When you speak, it identifies you
and only you. When someone else speaks,
their voice identifies them only. String
Theory predicts the same for particles.
Protons, electrons, neutrons, etc. are defined by the frequency of their
voice. A proton does not sound like an
electron or it would be an electron - it sounds like a proton as predicted by
String Theory.
WAAAAT? You mean that
frequencies and sounds make up everything?
It’s like the universe is made up of different voices? String Theory says so.
This is 2015. Over
2500 years ago, the book of Psalms in the Bible told us:
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. Psalm
33:9
Over 3000 years ago, Moses wrote:
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:3
So, you’re saying
that the Bible told us over 3000 years ago that the sound and frequencies of
God’s voice made everything…just like String Theory predicts? Mind blown.
Now, to really blow your mind about how awesome God is and
the miracle of the written Bible: nearly 3000 years ago, the Bible tells us:
So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which
you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that
man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy
8:3
Most Bible scholars would call the word of God the written
Bible. I don’t disagree. But, I would also add that the word of God is
everything…everything in the universe. Every
“particle” is the voice of God, just at different frequencies. Protons are the voice of God at a specific
frequency. Electrons are the voice of
God at their own frequency. Quarks,
gluons, muons, neutrinos….you name it, it’s the voice of God with its own frequency. If we could hear it, I imagine it would be
the most beautiful song we would ever hear!
Neil Degrasse Tyson, a famous scientist, has been quoted as
saying,
“I don't have an issue with what you do in the church, but I'm going to
be up in your face if you're going to knock on my science classroom and tell me
they've got to teach what you're teaching in your Sunday school. Because that's
when we're going to fight.
Irony is that Martha Stewart has
been to prison and Miley Cyrus hasn’t.
And…irony is that my Sunday School class may know more than Neil
Degrasse Tyson when it comes to how the universe was formed. String Theory says it might be so...
