Poet Clear, How can your assertion be falsified? If it cannot be falsified then can it be 'scientific' (after Sir Karl Popper), and, if not, physics? Thank you.

Dear Irvon,

You state: "In the beginning, before the creation of the universe, there was God. [...]

Then a change occurred within God. A decision was made to create all possible

objects that are not a part of God."

I have a question:

If God existed before the creation of the universe, then it must have existed forever an infinite amount of time before that. So why change then, if it was like that forever in the past (and presumably in a perfect state)? Would it not make more sense to assume that God has always created and continues to create new universes every single moment?

Falsified if you find an object, force or relationship within this universe that is not changing. Falsified if you can find an object, force or relationship within this universe that is a part of God. How ironic is it that if you find God within this universe you loose Godly purpose in its creation?

Falsified if you can measure all of the potential and possibility within this universe with a magnitude that does not correlate to the magnitude of space within this universe. If potential and possibility exists then where is its physical measurement?

Yes, I would consider my assertion to be a foundational statement in physics because both its statement and falsification is based on common and collective observations of our sensory environment.

My assertion is derived from an assumed imperfect foundation (elemental unit of existence) that is unique, chaotic and randomly dispersed. This results in an imperfect universe that then supports the assertion that it was created by a perfect being (God) to evolve all possible objects, forces and relationships that are not a part of God (imperfect).

If the elemental unit of existence is uniform, orderly and evenly dispersed then it supports a perfect universe and my assertion is not supported by observing, measuring and manipulating our elemental unit of existence. What is the current consensus description of our most elemental unit of existence? Is it orderly and uniform or unique and chaotic?

Your suggestion is certainly a possibility but at this moment in time I can not sense other universes. My survival environment is within one sensed universe and from its sensed characteristics I am suggesting that a perfect entity (thus possessing the necessary attributes to be capable of creating a universe) decided to create a unique universe that could "evolve" all possible objects, forces and relationships that are not perfect. Existing within it we are observing the results...not necessarily understanding the decision's purpose but the decision's results. If you find a perfect system within this observed universe my assertion collapses. I encourage everyone to keep looking.

"Humanity came to its gods by accepting the reality of the symbol,

that is, it came to the 'reality of thought', which has made man lord

of the earth." --C.G. Jung, "Psychological Types"

Dear Mr. Eugene,

I totally agree with you, that there is a perfect entity which is the ultimate foundation of all physical objects and forces that are themselves not perfect.

I would even go a step further: Only objects that are not perfect, can change. A perfect entity can never change. Only by being perfect an entity can be the ultimate unchangeable foundation of all that is existing.

But I do not agree that this entity is something like a supreme being with a free will who pursues a particular purpose. In order to be perfect this entity has to be perfect all the time without any exception. There is no longer any possibility to act freely. A God who is really perfect looses immediately his ability to be part of the imperfect universe. In other words.. The attribute of perfection leads directly to the attribute of TRANSCENDENCE.

In my essay Taming of the One I have attempted to describe this entity in purely physical terms.

Kind regards

H. Hansen

How can a "lord of the earth" still be a tasty piece of meat for still existent four-legged beasts?

Seeing the coments above, i note an emphasis on self -sensing. We all are individual sensors and perhaps independent ones too. if we mostly agree on something sensed commeonly, that is the truth for us. If we all can not agree it still remains agood relative truth. that is what to me Physics is doing. here things/matters get settled as soon as the logic and prsentation is agreed upon by a large community of us, specially giving weightage to the opinions of our more respected personalities. That is the way the human societies run. Thus i for one feel that before rejecting something one should introspect deeply and if such a meditative mind does no accept a preposition, it should not be accepted. The other proff lies when a reliable experimental measurement rules out any prediction of a theory proposed to explain a phenomenon. A single theory for all processes is of course the most welcome one but also the most difficulot to propound. thus all sorts of attempts need to be made provided these meet the criteria of good logic, pure intuition and in-depth consideration cum evaluation. it is not necessary that all should agree but most of us should come around eventually to accept it. There have been changes in what was and what is being accepted today. The same holds for future too, no problem here. Both change and stability has been the features of the universe except for the very earlu universe. It is for this reason that i personally ffel the present day Physics may not hold validity for that period of our universe. My own essay on the site lays emphasis on it.

Yes the emphasis is on self-sensing. We all exist between the boundaries of birth and death. Any explanation of the environment that contains us within these boundaries is first modeled by our senses.

Dear Irvon,

i agree with your brief 2 sentence response. God, let us agree is not like human beings. IT is difficult to predict about the Creator of the Universe. We have come on the scene as human beings only in the past thousands of ysars only. Before us came vegetation/trees and animals. Thus , we may associate life forms to have evolved with greater intelligence and comprehension level. Initially it was governed entirely by the environment prevailing at those times. Only human beings are the one that are capable of acting against the environment. Thus we are the danger species for the survival of the universe, starting with our Earth!!

Thus who can be considered superior? i personally believe that our Creator has created human beings in His own image, to see what we do to His Universe. If we maintain and live in harmony with Nature, the same will be sustained. If we act against it, we shall contibute to destruction. The choice lies with us, intelligent beings. We can be distardly foolish to ruin ourselves or we can be spiritually evolved to care about the entire anture, including all living and non-living objects in this universe. it is our intelligent choice!

NN, for me the Creator of what exists is also the Creator of everything that could possibly exist. The Creator of all possibility must be an all knowing, all powerful and ever present entity. These characteristics are not descriptions of the human form. It seems that refering to a decision creates the impression that I am talking to another human being. Decisions are made by all living organizms and I would plead ignorance concerning the conscious state of all possible inanimate and animate states of being. What matters most for me is that I exist in the human form and I have the ability to make decisions and apply effort to become the best possible human being that I can be...any value system that attaches rewards for levels of success or failure in my personal effort are accepted as goodwill and best wishes. We should all be aware of the differences that are inherent in over 6 billion variations of the human form and respect the possibility that there is the potential of at least one of the variations being capable of "sensing the creator" within the boundaries of birth and death. As I have stated previously, I encourage everyone to keep looking. We have all shared the experience of birth...we will certainly share the experience of death. What's inbetween is the possibility of creating our own identity...for a brief moment in time...our opportunity to do our best.

Best wishes,

Irvon
