Actually, it cannot be. Light can be and has been described by physics in great detail. It's origin and how it exists as an electromagnetic particle-wave has never been explained.
Actually, it cannot be. Life can be and has been described by biology in great detail. It's existence -- neither the how, statistically, nor the why -- has never been explained.
The human capacity for self-sacrificing love has never been explained. Attempts have been made to explain it biologically & psychologically as a survival mechanism but no such theory has ever taken hold because they defy experience.
Is that NAZI spirituality Emily?
We have barely been able to describe what light is, let alone explain its origin or how it exists. To begin with, light is not a particle, and a photon is merely a measurement of light, no different that a calorie is a measurement of energy; is a calorie a particle? No. Is one degree Celsius, a particle? No. Is time a dimension? No. Measurements do not take up time or space; and a photon is nothing more than a measurement of light. This is where Albert Einstein's theories went off-kilter, the guy graphed time as a dimension and then used it as a dimension in his math and came up with gravity distorted time; time is nothing more than a measurement, same as a calorie or a photon, or a counting number; does gravity distort the number 7? Light is a self-reflecting magnetic field; AKA an electromagnetic wave; it has no mass; there are no particles flooding the vacuum of space; space is not an aether, it is a vacuum; all the old physicists that treat space as an aether (Einstein for one and everyone in and before his time) were unable to test their theories, but today we have gone into outer space and discovered there is nothing there, it is a vacuum, it is totally empty... so why is man still trying to discover the building blocks of "matter" where space is supposedly made of matter, when we have already learned that space has no matter, it is a vacuum; it is empty, there is no need for the string theory, we do not need to discover what space is built out of because space isn't matter, it is the absence of matter.
So we can't even describe light correctly. Is it mass or energy? Just because mass can release energy doesn't mean energy can be turned into mass... again that's another theory based upon space being an aether. Light is purely energy, it has no mass, it isn't composed of any particle, little by little we are beginning to understand that, look at another form of energy: electricity; it was thought that electricity is a flow of electrons which are supposed to be particles.... uhm, have we ever seen an electron? No. We can detect electrons, but the theory that they are particles, or have mass, is just that, a theory that has never been proven. If you look at an atom, you will see the outer shell of electrons, but what are you looking at? You are looking at a bubble of light. Does it have any gravitational weight? No. Is there any evidence whatsoever that these electrons are particles? No. They appear to be light. We can measure them the same as we measure other forms of energy, but that doesn't make them composed of particles. If an electron is really a particle, then the electron particle is traveling at the speed of light, which, of course, is impossible, only an electromagnetic wave can do that.
So, here we are, a bunch of dunces that have done a lousy job of describing light, let alone understand its nature and origin. But what I said was this; God is light, life, and love. That's a definition. IOW, however badly we can explain light with physics, it doesn't change light from being the existence of God. So, God did not have a beginning, God did not create himself, so when God said, "Let there be light" he was not creating light, he was creating the detection of light. And then what happened? His spirit moved upon the waters of the deep, so God said let there be light and then delivered that light to the waters; the light is God himself, the spirit moving upon the waters is God himself, and what happens when you shine a light at waters in darkness? Yeah, the waters act as a mirror, so God is both shining his light into the waters and looking at his own reflection in those waters. and what was created? What are we? The image and likeness of God? What is that? Is it fair to say we are a reflection of God?
So, there's no need for a God to exist in order to explain the existence of man; even though our very existence is a reflection of God? I will say this, if you want to get a reflection of God, you are going to need God to exist to get that. If you want to have light, you need light to exist. If you want to have love, you need love to exist. If you want to have life, you need life to exist. God is light, life, and love... that's how God exists. Do you look at a tree and say, "there is no need for trees to exist in order to have trees"? Of course not. If there are no trees, then you don't have a tree. If there is no love, if love doesn't exist, then why am I being so patient with these morons for 20 years running? lol That's a lot of love, people, and i can tell you, it only exists because God shined his light into me, May 13, 1981... the biggest miracle in my life, when light came back into my drugged darkened eyes, and I no longer looked like walking death. When I get real low - and yeah, I get there - I look into a mirror to make sure there is still light in my eyes, because then I know he is still in there.
