I certainly am, not! Not in the sense that God supposedly made all things by hand, in seven days, 4004 years ago at 9:00 AM, sometime in October. I am a scientist, though because if many years of sabbatical years of entrepreneuring and teaching in a tenured system, have taken larges bites out time spent studying I am back studying again in Retirement. What I advocate in this article is purely a perspective of God, Master Physicist/Mathematician, Jump-Starting the universe through His own created laws of Physics, of which, I, like Einstein stand in awe.
Let us look for a moment at realities and the invisible world, perhaps two separate things, perhaps not. Einstein argued against the efficacy of a system which was supported by no underlying causality- a quantum based upon... nothing, massive chaotic, probability factory which at any given moment could as easily go one way as another and with neither macrocosmic, or microcosmic stability. Causality equaled, in Einstein's mind, order and order-God. Einstein, and oddly enough independent of him, I, argued the same cause and in exactly the same way, re: since logic in the manner of experiences, as Einstein said, "The very fact that the totality of our sense experiences is such that, by means of thinking, it can be put in order, this fact I one that leaves us in Awe, the eternal mystery of the world is it's comprehensibility." When his old pal Maurice Solovine told him that it was strange that Einstein considered the comprehensibility of the world, "...a miracle or an eternal mystery..." Einstein's answer was a classic, he said that one expects a chaotic world which is incomprehensible and continued that that is precisely the weakness of positivism and professional atheists. In other words, the mystery and the miracle is that the world is comprehensible.
If one believes that God exists, and that He has a moral imperative, even if it is nor defined in and/or by a personal manifestation, that, then, is at least, an incentive for acting in a moral manner. Those who do not believe refute and often insult belief and believers. Now, it is certainly true that God cannot be seen. It is also true that so far, God's existence cannot be proven. For that matter neither can (I am a Cultural Anthropologist) the theory, and it is still a theory, most of which details, few laymen are aware, it is not a field that easily lends itself to a quick Wikipedia down load to prove anything if it were, the years of study needed at the Undergraduate, Graduate and post-graduate levels would be unnecessary.
The Visible and Invisible World's
Moreover, neither is it possible to prove, beyond doubt, the theory of Quantum mechanics, the quanta, Tachyons, and many other theories. Other theories thought to be gospel have come to the fore, with brilliant humans and women supporting them, and they have faded, even though some were brought forth by geniuses like Newton, Galileo, and others of great repute.
Show me the anatomical reality of the mind. Show me the physical place where one can find the residence within the human body of the skill of composing, painting, or performing. If one sliced open the core of a chunk of coal two hundred fifty years ago, show me where in the coal was the presence of making electricity, or in water, before the two were shown to be a catalyst in heating, lighting and running appliances.
If one slices open the human brain, show me the thoughts, the future paintings, music, composing, the ingenuity, the IQ, Show me the physical dwelling place wherein by cutting, we can find and dissect the mind and the thoughts can be exposed. In years gone by such things were thought to dwell in the heart.
How many humans can hear the frequencies, which some animals can hear?
Show me the human who can see what the hawk can see. Why when one man (as I did as a young man) has 20/10 visions and can read a newspaper across a room, do others doubt until it is proven? How is it that one man, an artist, can see subtle colors others, even when having them pointed out to them not only cannot see, but deny another can see it also?
How is it that one man can tell the spin on a baseball, and even, as a few others and I could, see and recognize the spin, which tells the direction and type of pitch, and others cannot? How is it that also some can see the blur of red and blue colors, which it the logo and signature of the Commissioner of baseball, and others cannot?
How is it that of two humans, same weight, same build, same height, same eyesight, very similar musculature, same strength ability to lift weights, and one can regularly hit a 100 MPH fast ball, safely and often farther than seems possible, while the other cannot even make contact with the ball? The one that hits the ball has 20/10 vision, superhuman reflexes and superhuman eye-hand coordination that is how. It has little to do with size, weight or how many biscuits one had for breakfast
How is it that of two people, one can score incredible scores on an IQ test, placing s/he in the top ¼ of 1% of the brightest people on the planet, and the other far down the list, to the Bush level and still the lowest one becomes president? What does that say about the American voting election system?
How can one person read Shakespeare or the bible and comprehend them completely, and yet hundreds of others, reading the same material take away only, if that, a cursory, surface level of incomplete understanding, missing entirely the hidden meanings, but thinking then, that they know Shakespeare and discuss it with an air of knowledgeability?
Where is the physical location in the human body where intuition, which allows one person to continuously make correct decisions in investing or other business, military, decisions, while another cannot at all?
How is it that one person can teach and make complex material clear consistently, and have his students come away convinced s/he is a Great Teacher, while others fail to make the same material clear and are seen as poor teachers? Where and what is the physical organ wherein those skills can be found?
There are special skills sparingly doled out to very few. In a painting class I took, each student was asked to describe through and by their painting of the model, the colors they saw in the complexion of the model and her clothes. Of forty-three students, only seven were capable of seeing the complete color spectrum and only five were able to do an anatomically and color correct, portrait of her. Why could not the others see the colors or get a likeness that was anatomically correct? Where is the physical location of the organ that allows such a thing?
