Mysteries and Forces

There are only four forces by which atomic particles react one to another, these are the strong and weak nuclear forces, which only occur inside the nucleus of atoms. Gravity and electromagnetic force both of which are long range forces whose effects can be felt or detected at a great distance, but their strength declines as distance from the source increases. The entire universe is held together by these forces which are finely tuned to ensure that it does not simply fly apart or collapse instantly before any life could evolve. The more we discover about the nature of these forces and the way in which particles exist the more physicists and cosmologists raise the question as to whether there is an overseeing force that ensures this balance is maintained so that life can exist. This theory is called the “Anthropic Principle” and it suggests that the universe itself may be cognisant, aware of its own existence. This is remarkably similar to many religious concepts of a supreme being.

In a previous blog I reported on the effects of cosmic radiation on the solar system and how it controls and influences the sun and the planets. If the theory of the Anthropic Principle is correct this cosmic radiation or background microwave energy could be the energy of a conscious universe. We could be seeing the hand of the Almighty, not as a bewhiskered old gentleman but as a being of pure energy, energy that today we can detect and map. In effect for the first time in history we can come face to face with the Creator.

It is obvious that if this force is a conscious entity then even though it could control, in fact cause, the forces that bind the universe; action taken at any time must surely need to be subtle lest the whole fabric of the universe be destabilised. It would be necessary to utilise the assistance of sentient beings to achieve aims because to change the constants of creation just slightly would result in a chain reaction that could evaporate the universe entirely. To be this subtle results in the majority of living creatures being totally oblivious to the action taken or even to the existence of the Creator who takes the action.

There is a belief among many people both religious and secular that something is about to happen, some fulfilment of prophecy. Some of this concept has a Biblical origin but not all, the myths, legends and beliefs of many different cultures include a common conviction that there will be an end to the world. Many have tried to describe the end time events prophesied in the Bible and some quite spectacular theories abound. Events related to an end time need not be obvious except to a few enlightened souls until the very last moments. Today there are groups whose studies have recognised various events as being those predicted by prophets both Biblical and material and who are convinced that the chain of events leading to the end time are well underway. The rest of the population goes on unaware and usually settles for a joke or two at the expense of the religious. The seeds of destruction have been planted in this attitude and like the growing crop under the ground will suddenly bloom all around. Even religious groups do not always recognise events instead wait for their own imagined revelations to show the way.

Biblical prophecy indicates that when events have happened in the past few have known in advance and even when prophets spoke out they were mocked and derided, until the events they predicted occurred. Noah was reportedly a source of great amusement to the people of his time. Jeremiah complained of being attacked and maligned; every prophet appears to have been ignored at best and mocked or condemned to death at worst. It is understandable today because over the years many cults and false prophets have made outrageous predictions and none has occurred, but there is evidence that Biblical prophecy may not be wrong. Most people are not even aware of the wealth of information contained in the Bible or that its historical accuracy in many instances has been proved by archaeologists. The slight of hand that began with Darwin’s “Origin of Species” and Nietzsche’s proclamation in 1886 that “God is dead” has convinced most people that reading the Bible is unnecessary. The deception has been so complete that most people do not even know that since we developed DNA sequencing it has been shown that Darwin’s theory cannot explain evolution. When Darwin arrived on the scene there was great fanfare about disproving the Bible and how all was natural and random; survival of the fittest (no Creator) but once the theory was shown to be seriously flawed there was not a single question about whether the Biblical perspective could be correct.

Humanity does not want to believe in a higher power; our own vanity convinces us that we are the ultimate and highest form of existence. This is no different to those inquisitors who wanted to burn Galileo at the stake for daring to suggest that Earth is not the centre of the universe. Until we can actually see for ourselves most people will continue to laugh at predictions and religion, even though mounting scientific evidence shows that we are now closer to proving and understanding the existence of a higher power than at any other time in history.
