“Life as we know it
is a thin layer of events
covering a deeper reality.”

Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the
worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.

Let there be light… Religious believe that God willed it, and at once there was light.
Hebrew: יְהִי אוֹר (yehi ‘or)
Greek: γενηθήτω φῶς (genēthētō phōs)
Quantum theory tells us that both light and matter consist of tiny particles which have wavelike properties associated with them. Light can be thought of as an electromagnetic wave that travels at the speed of light. However, light is also particles called photons. Albert Einstein first explained the photoelectric effect is proof that light exists in tiny packets of particles, which he called photons.
With Max Planck’s work on quanta of heat, Einstein went on to propose the most stunning idea of twentieth century physics. We live in a quantum universe, one built out of tiny, discrete chunks of energy and matter that seem to alternate as waves and particles. Light is composed of particles called photons, and matter is composed of particles of an atom called electrons, protons, and neutrons.
In 1919, six years before the invention of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle, Einstein showed that there would be a problem with the theories of cause and effect. The peculiar dual nature of quanta as both waves and particles might make it impossible, he warned, to definitively tie effects to their causes
Materialism is an atheistic philosophy that says that all of reality is reducible to matter and its interactions. It has gained ground because many people think that it’s supported by science. In reality, quantum mechanics says that even if we have complete information about the state of a physical system, the laws of physics typically only predict probabilities of future outcomes. These probabilities are called the “wave function” of the system.
Personally, I love it… that the real analysis; the actual science supports that something unnatural occurs and that is what forms matter. If you are a believer that science can explain precisely how it works… well, it can’t. It is still a bit of a mystery. In fact its a mystery that science may never solve.

the Hunt for Truth 
Pingback: Oompa-Loompas of Science… the big bang | The Hunt FOR Truth
Wonderful post, Eric. I listened to “Choosing Your Own Greatness” and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sending it to me. It kind of goes along with my next post on Tuesday.
another beautiful posting. You know how I love when you bring in science to aid in our understanding. I especially enjoyed the last two paragraphs. A friend and I speak often about quantum dynamics at work.
Beautiful video explaining that energy is the ultimate energy. And we surely must “..learn the art of tuning in to the flow of energy and using it to centre the self”.
Gosh, you put my take on “let there be light” to shame with your intense dissection of the various particles. good job..vw
Eric, enjoying reading your spiritual take on the Lord and His creation of the science of His universe. I’m a follower. Thank you for adding your own light to the world.
Yes, often even science is at a loss to explain God things 😉
Matter is actually energy condensed to a slow vibration.

Program Description
With his famous equation E=MC², Albert Einstein proved that when you come right down to it everything in the universe is energy. Both in the physical plane of our reality of matter and the abstract reality of our mind are made up of energy patterns.
The concept of a universal energy flow is not a new one. The ancient Chinese called this flow chi; the ancient Hindus called it prana. The disciplines that developed in those two cultures – t’ai chi and yoga, respectively- are based on the art of tuning in to the flow of energy and using it to centre the self.
Particle physicists try to understand the nature of nature at the smallest scales possible. Today, we know that atoms do not represent the smallest unit of matter. Particles called quarks and leptons seem to be the fundamental building blocks – but perhaps there is something even smaller.
Empty space, we have discovered, is actually not empty at all.
Astrophysicists have found that less than 10 percent of the mass of the entire universe consists of the kind of “luminous” matter that we can see. What is the dark matter that makes up the rest of the universe? How can we find out? Though we understand many important properties of the fundamental building blocks of our universe, there are untold mysteries still to solve.
Advances in technology allow physicists to build more powerful and sophisticated instruments to look deeper and deeper inside matter. Like adventurers entering unknown territory, physicists forge ahead into ever smaller dimensions.
What will be their next discovery?
