Walk in Grace, Grow in Faith

The nature of Scientific theories is always evolving: Science relies on a process of questioning, testing, and observing. Old theories are regularly modified when new data appears. Scientific models are rooted in evidence, it’s provisional and limited by human observation. But we don’t stop Science. I do wish science will continue to investigate creations. Einstein didn’t believe God played dice with the universe. We need to know our origin. We need to know the purpose. But I believe science cannot give an answer. We cannot investigate a universe outside of God. We are meant to trust God. We do not need to know the future to live faithfully today. “For from him and through him and for him are all things.”— Romans 11:36 Ecclesiastes 3:11 reminds us that human beings, although conscious of eternity, cannot comprehend God's work “from beginning to end.” We observe reality from within a limited temporal perspective; God is not confined by that limitation. There is only one answer to the deepest mysteries and tensions of Science. “All things have been created through him and for him… and in him all things hold together” - Colossians 1:16–17. Only in him, all things hold together. Not mathematics, not physics, not cosmology. Science doesn’t hold and cannot hold any theories of creations. God is the Creator and ultimate ground of all reality that exists. God was never a scientific object waiting to be discovered by a telescope. Perhaps the mystery is not that humanity has failed to see everything. Perhaps the mystery is that we can see anything at all. 2 Corinthians 4:18 says "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” We should. We understand that the universe was created by the “word” of God, so what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. “God’s word is fixed and eternal in heavens”. - Psalm 119:89. His word stands firm forever, no revisions needed and cannot be revised. Proverbs 30:5-“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him”. This does not need updates or corrections to match any shifting human trends. This is how I believe it’ll be: “For now” we see only a reflection as in a mirror; “then” we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; “then” I shall know fully. — 1 Corinthians 13:12 Then, “The dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”— 1 Corinthians 15:52 And then we saw, and “I saw a new heaven and a new earth.” — Revelation 21:1. Until then… Amen and may God's Word bless us all and give us peace. Numbers 6:24–26: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace”.

Previously: Why does time appear to flow if fundamental physics does not require a universal moving present? Ecclesiastes 3:11“He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” This striking parallel shows humanity experiences time locally while being unable to comprehend existence “from beginning to end.” God makes all things appropriate, right, and beautiful in His own time, not always according to human schedules. People cannot fully grasp or map out the entirety of God's work from start to finish, which invites a posture of humility and trust. The science quest continues: quantum mechanics arrived in 1925 to build on top of Einstein theory and then came quantum entanglement. It discovered that when two particles (like protons) are entangled, measuring a property of one particle (such as its spin) “instantly” determines the property of the other particle—even if they are light-years apart. Because this happens at the exact same time (instantaneously), there is no time for a light signal to travel between them to "share" the information. That defy Einstein own physics - nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Einstein was deeply uncomfortable and called it spooky action at a distance. He believed the particles must have hidden, pre-determined settings from the start, a concept known as local “realism”. Colossians 1:16–17 “All things have been created through him and for him… and in him all things hold together.” Colossians do not contain quantum-gravity equations, rather Physics has not yet found the deepest unifying description of reality, the ultimate unity of creation rests in God ! Scientific theory of consciousness, reality and observation later developed along side Einstein theory. John Stewart Bell in 1964 directly addresses the “conflict” between Albert Einstein’s concept of local realism and the counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics. Decades later, Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger performed landmark experiments involving entangled photons. Their work was recognized with the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments establishing “violations” of Bell inequalities theorem and pioneering quantum information science. While Bell’s Theorem remains a pillar of quantum physics, modern scientific exploration into the actual mechanics of consciousness later has refined towards theories like Sir Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff's Orch-OR theory (which links consciousness to quantum gravity collapse inside brain microtubules) or Integrated Information Theory (IIT). We see that for hundreds of years, science has been studying creations. It has disagreements, tensions and faces constant refinements. But Isaiah 40:8 states that whilst grass withers and flowers fade, the word of God stands forever. Matthew 24:35 quotes Jesus, saying heaven and earth will pass away, but His words will never pass away and Psalm 119:89: God's word is fixed and eternal in the heavens. Science does not prove God, but its deepest discoveries and unresolved tensions implicitly makes the case for God! “Now we know in part; then we shall know fully.” 1 Corinthians 13:12 to be continued….

Let’s start from the beginning. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”— Genesis 1:1 and “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”— John 1:1 Then, “Let there be light.”— Genesis 1:3“And there was light”. From then everything formed and somewhere sometime, consciousness began and it starts to look backward and ask how it all began. Origin of our Big bang theory emerged. Human discover that the universe could be described mathematically, not approximate but with astonishing precision. From Galileo to Newton, mathematics became not merely a language invented by humans, but an extraordinarily successful means of discovering structures in nature and the universe. Because “By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations.”— Proverbs 3:19, we can investigate that foundation ! God does not stop us from investigating, and it’s quite the opposite. “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”— Proverbs 25:2. Then came Albert Einstein. He did not merely add another equation, he changed the meaning of space and time and went on further that Spacetime itself could curve. The universe became stranger. Newton theory of gravity was all but incomplete in extreme speeds or massive gravity situation. His physics also describes a four-dimensional spacetime structure in which simultaneity is observer-dependent, a block universe. We can use the Train Example on how this works: Imagine you are standing perfectly still on a train platform. A super-fast train speeds past you. At the exact moment the middle of the train passes you, two bolts of lightning strike the front and the back of the train. Your Perspective (Standing Still): You are equal distance from both strikes. The light from both flashes travels the same distance to your eyes at the exact same speed. You see them flash at the “exact same time" (simultaneously). The Passenger's Perspective (Moving): Now imagine a passenger sitting dead center inside that speeding train. As the lightning strikes, the train is rushing “towards” the front flash and running “away” from the back flash. Because the speed of light is constant, the light from the front strike has a shorter distance to travel to reach the passenger's eyes. The light from the back has to chase the train. Therefore, the passenger sees the front bolt strike “before” the back bolt. In Summary, both are telling the absolute truth about reality. Because space and time are welded together into spacetime, the order in which events unfold depends entirely on your frame of reference. In the "block universe" of spacetime— past, present, and future coexist “statically” as four-dimensional coordinates. But why does our consciousness experience time as a “flowing” sequence—past, present and future? This unresolved tension invites a deeper question.“He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”— Ecclesiastes 3:11. to be continued…
