Ponderings on creation




In space time matter and energy are merely re-arranged, moved from one place to another, from present to future, from futures to places and times beyond that. Matter and energy continuously become part of arrangements that differ from the ones it was part of before. The level of complexity of the arrangement determines the complexity of the functions it is capable of performing. At a certain level arrange­ments become capable of conscious thought and the ability to re-arrange matter and energy autonomously. Higher levels of con­sciousness will allow more complex re-arrangements, will lead to the ability to construct and destruct. Will the advancement of com­plex arrangements lead to the ability to create arrangements from nothing at all? So far even the so called gods of this and pre­vious worlds have used existing matter and energy to ‘create’ life which is an incorrect expression from any logical perspective – it was never more than an act of re-arranging matter and energy.

Was the birth of this universe an act of true creation? Or was it re­bellion of advanced entities who opposed the one who is capable to create matter and energy from nothing, from a dimensionless and timeless void? An attempt to undo creation? From the instant it came to be this universe was comprised of space and time, energy and matter. None of those components can exist without the others. Nothing in the space time continuum is infinite. Infinity cannot exist inside space time. Any object that exists in space time is formed, re-arranged matter and energy, and destined to change until it ceases to exist, leaving no more than separate arrangements of matter and energy that are incapable of performing the functions that the intact arrangement was capable of. Birth implies death, death implies new arrangements that have different functions, to anything there is a discrete beginning and end. This entire universe is comprised of finite arrangements, which leads me to conclude that we are here as the result of a rebellion against creation, not a situation following creation. But in a sense this universe is the result of creation, in spite of the rebellion, because that may have incited it. Questions arising from this observation would be: Was the rebel­lion intended by the one who created this arrangement from a void? And what will come after this arrangement ceases to exist? Will creation continue to exist? Will it be infinite?
