Science and God

 Eternal life persuasion and faith comes by God’s word persuading you, and God’s power convincing you. Yet many crave to have a scientific reasoning as well or instead. Science might get there eventually. There is a proposal currently to add a new law to the scientifically acknowledged laws of Nature. The way evolution of life seems to ever produce more and more complex living things over the ages, this warrants examination as to the existence of a law of Nature to make this happen. Yet for there to be a law now we must assume the law existed as soon as the universe was coming into existence. No law of Nature just starts to exist long after the Big Bang happened. It all gets intertwined as the universe unfolds from the beginning. So then scientists could well ask whether a law can exist concerning something which does not yet exist. The answer might well be that no, for the law to exist, the things about which the law is concerned these must also exist. So a law of Nature about evolution of life must mean life itself exists whenever this law exists. This might cause scientists to deduce that life existed at the time of the Big Bang. This life might even have existed before the Big Bang since nothing about the Big Bang suggests that it produced life. This life could well have been God and the spirit of the Christ, the Word. The law would then go some way to explaining what the beginning of the Gospel of John is saying: “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and what God was, the Word was. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made. In him was life and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. The same came for a witness to the light so that all men through him might believe. He was not the light but he came to bear witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognise him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. But to as many as received him, to them he gave the power to become the children of God.”
