The Science of God

Lets speak scientifically for a moment here, and address a couple of things that we, as men of science, hold to be factual. First and foremost is the First law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of the conservation of energy. This law states very simply that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it simply changes forms from one means of energy into another.

To expand on this, let’s think for a moment about what happens to the electricity as we force it through a light bulb. Electricity goes in, light and heat come out. That light can later go on to change form in to heat of it’s own by refracting off of surfaces and the heat could change form into kinetic energy or some other form of energy. It is important to note however that the energy consumed by the light bulb in the form of electricity is exchanged for a different form of energy — and if the light bulb should burn out, the electricity sent to it is not lost by any means, it simply finds itself in a situation where it cannot change form, and therefore, returns back into the wall, and the burned out light bulb consumes nothing.

This law understood we can address another important scientific bit of knowledge: The fact that the universe did not always exist. The universe is a mind-boggling large cluster of mass and energy. We know that energy can not be created, so surely, this energy had to come from some pre-existing eternal source. Now we can, if we’re not careful, begin to trip over ourselves and our sciences by trying to comprehend how something can exist eternally – having no beginning or end. Some suffice to say that comprehension of eternity is far beyond mortal grasp as we are only familiar with eternity in the sense that we are eternally bound by our mortality – a bit ironic, granted.

But when we get down to the nuts and bolts of it, if our science is to mean anything at all, we have to accept that the energy which went into the creation of the universe had to have come from somewhere. If we try to avoid this realization, we are left to ponder how NOTHING (the state of absolute non-existence that pre-dates the universe eternally) could somehow contribute to the creation of SOMETHING (being the universe. By any means of science you apply to it, from the simplest of elementary math, to the advanced metaphysics that are too advanced for most universities to even trifle with: NOTHING plus NOTHING creates NOTHING. When all you have is NOTHING, you don’t have anything needed for some sort of Universe creating bang or rift. You don’t have time, you don’t have space, you don’t have anything.
