Creation ex-nihlo

The question was: How could God create something out of nothing?

Creation ex-nihilo means creation from nothing. We pretend we know what we know. Sometimes it is helpful to challenge that with a model that flips things on its head.

Before the beginning, there was nothing but God. He isn't the imaginary nothing of Spirit we imagine. He is the primordial reality. When he started to create, where did he put things? The heaven of heaven cannot contain him He must have created a void within himself in which to put what we think are physical things. He even tells us that the earth, a physical thing, was a void; a void within God.

Typically we think that there is a small bit of material in a vast void of space. But what if the reverse was true? What if the particles of mass were voids within God? What if those voids were organized in such a fashion to make planets and people? Then God did not take nothing and make something; changing it's nature, he organized holes of nothing within himself to make somethings out of nothings. We are still nothing compared to the reality of God.

Now make a model for physics. This is just an allegory. Think of as mass is nothing and what we think of as nothing is mass. Then the smallest particle is not a particle at all, but a discontinuity in a crystal. Energy running through the crystal will create these discontinuities as the energy can displace the lattice structure. All larger particle are just geometric patterns of discontinuities within the lattice. This model forces all of the properties of physics into the aether or the lattice structure, and you have a unified field theory when the math is worked out.

In this way, we are really still nothing held in form and existence by teh mind of God.

Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

As the crystal seeks it's lowest energy state it forces the discontinuities toward each other. This is gravity. A discontinuity that places tension on the lattice at one end and compression at the other will attempt to align itself with other such discontinuities to get to the lowest energy. This is magnetism. With enough energy a new discontinuity pops into existence. This is energy transformed to matter.

This is not a doctrine. Merely a model based on what the scriptures teach. If God were 'like' the crystal (please don't accuse me of pantheism, this is just allegory) we now have a picture of the physical universe coupled with with more esoteric statements like being 'in Christ', etc.

The purpose of the model is just to challenge what we think we know, with a plausible alternative at the most fundamental level of ontological physics to demonstrate the frailty of scientific truth.

Is there evidence for this alternate theory of everything? Yes. Waves speed up when they go from a less dense material to a more dense material. Light speeds up when it goes from anything into a vacuum. This is evidence that the vacuum is more dense than the other material. In the lab, light is slowed down by cooling a vacuum. How can you cool nothing? Einstein's theory says that space stretches. What is space? Nothing. How can nothing stretch? What we think of as nothing must be a something.

The fact is that we were created out of nothing. This model is based upon the fact, and may be helpful for fundamental physics research. The mysteries of physics; forces at a distance, become understandable as direct interactions between physical entities.

The skeptics say that there cannot be light without suns and stars. They simply have no idea what they are talking about. The word for the lights in Genesis 1 which were created later were created "from light". That's what the word means; "From light". It suggests that there was a bunch of energy (light) around, and it coalesced into suns and stars. The problems that people have with the Bible originate from the fact that they are ignorant of what it actually says.

The morning and evening? Simply the primordial light was flickering until enough energy dropped out of the energy state into mass. We still have evidence of the primordial heartbeat of the universe. Such evidence is interpreted to support the the Big Bounce theory of physics.
