How I can prove God
exists, sort of.
Scientists have a problem called the cosmological constant.
This is a reference (as I understand it, and this disclaimer applies to
everything I say here) to the level of inherent energy in the vacuum of
spacetime. If lower, the stars and life
could not form. If higher, all would fly apart and life would be impossible. I
think I have that close to right. In any case, because the cosmological
constant is balanced so perfectly, impossibly perfectly, they are troubled by
this fact. Some have said this has to point to a higher intelligence, i.e. God,
to have so many things so perfectly tuned for existence to work.
The solution comes in the form of Multiverses , and the Many
Worlds theory, which may be two perspectives of the same thing. The Multiverse theory is that this is only
one of an infinite number of universes, each with its own set of physical laws
and circumstances. To make sense of our perfect situation, it is said that we
just happen to be the one that worked among the infinite number of those that
didn’t, at least the same way. In this scenario all possible (or should I say
impossible) universes must exist. An infinite number, for us to have occurred.
This means much the same as the Many Worlds theory puts forth. In that case,
the timeline of your life is a constant selection of choices every instant, and
a constantly new number of “yous” follow every possible choice path; an endless
infinite branching of your timeline.
Now consider what this means, and what they say about this
which may sound ridiculous. Every scenario you can possibly think of exists in
one of these worlds. In one, you are Hitler. In another you are long dead, or
never been born. In another we never became human, and another we are gods.
Whatever. So you see, this doesn’t sound
sensible whatsoever, but the vast array of universes don’t care what we think
sensible.
Now in one of these universes, there exists, beyond any doubt, a god, in fact God, if all possible
worlds exists. And this god is the God of all the timelines and all the
multiverses. And so God exists. And if theses theories are as foolish as they
sound, and wrong… what then? We are left with the conundrum that our set of circumstances
are too, in fact, impossibly balanced. What then?
Here’s what I think, lowly as my educational and
intellectual status might be. First of all, regarding infinite timelines and
free will: The past is recorded and done. It existed but is now a static record
that helped to establish the present. The future is potential, and its path,
though there are many possibles, is not yet established. The future is
potential, in the same regard as wave function in quantum mechanics. The
present is dynamic, and is the current state of the universe as determined by
the past state, and entropy and past choices. The present, along with the
current state of the universe, and flow of entropy, is also dynamic with an infinite
web of events and choices, which collapses the wave function and determines the
next instant of the state of the universe. It is like a rolling wave or a
turning wheel, where the present is where the wheel meets the ground.
And what of God? Well, personally, I think we have a
problem. What IS God? I feel we have not truly defined what we even mean. Oh,
we have this childish mythical figure we use in our minds, and that is
forgivable because the concept of God is really, by “definition” well beyond
our ability to comprehend. Here is what I think. In the old testament Moses ask
God his name. God’s reply is something akin to “I Am.” And thus you have it.
God Is existence. The Mystery buried in existence,
and there is nothing more difficult to understand then that.
