"Master, what does the world sit on?" the student queried. "On the back of a turtle." the Master answered. "What does the turtle sit on?" the student queried. "from there on it is turtles all the way." the Master laughed. Lawrence klause and Richard Dawkins had a long lecture on how something came from nothing. I watched them in bed on my flat top. "Is the Moon reflected in the water? Or is the Moon a reflection?" I pondered a Zen poem. The essence of Zen is Satori, the realization that everything came from nothing and will pass away. A Zen archer can strike his target without seeing it .. From Zen comes heightened senses. The target is a reflection in the archer's mind. Spooky? Physics calculates out from causation to zero. There is no first cause, no prime mover and no God. Genesis states that in the beginning all was empty and void and then God spoke. Ah-so, God came from nothing. Define nothing. It is the absence of something... But, how can something come from nothing. Is it a dream? A dream is not quantifiable in physics dreams are nothing. Quantum physics proposes that there are multiple dimensions,that maybe infinite. Is that the eternal supreme being? Infinite dimensions can never be nothing. That is plenty of time for God to pop up. "I believe there is a God. I just don't know if he's intelligent." Mel Brooks remarked as the 1000 Year Old Man. Something means something is infinite in my minds eye. Just my two cents. Vertago <^> |
