If a phenomenon called “Big Bang” occurred, forces came together in a mathematical proportion capable of generating it, then that proportion was valid since before the production of Cosmo. All phenomena in nature express valid mathematical proportions before the phenomena manifest themselves. The totalities of these mathematical proportions that govern the Cosmos exist eternally, long before the existence of the Cosmos, including the proportions that allow an animal with a brain to be able to think and be aware. Taking the totality of these proportions and relations, one arrives at the Divine Logos.
The Divine Logos exists before the Universe. This is a scientific fact that no one can answer; to say that the proportions were not valid in the sphere of possibilities, and that they only became valid in reality, is an error, because what is real is, by definition, possible.
The total scheme of realizable possibilities is the Divine Logos: Omnipotent Omniscient and Omnipresent because we cannot observe the Divine Logos outside of it, because we live in it. God could not create the Universe and stay out of it for even a millisecond: the Cosmos is a property of God. If God transcends the Universe (what transcends, by definition, encompasses), then God is not one thing and the Universe is another (apostle St. Paul said: “in him we live, in him we move and are” — Acts 17:28 -30).
God is the absolute “owner” of logic. And, not everything can be proven scientifically. [For example, if you receive a check, it is not possible to scientifically prove that it has funds. Before withdrawing it, the payer’s card could be cloned and used. Explain, scientifically, which numbers will be drawn in the next EuroMillions and tell me! This is the same as asking for scientific proof of the existence or non-existence of God — silly, that concept], science hardly serves to explain the properties of the Divine Logos that govern “our Cosmos”, let alone “pre-Cosmos”!
We are not viewers who observe what is going on from the outside, so we cannot explain what is out there from the inside! Pasteur said: “A little science keeps us away from God. A lot, brings us closer”. But then, it is necessary to unite science and philosophy.
When you look at a stone, it is giving you information such as presence and structure (properties). If you say that this object is not intelligent, and that there is only the inert presence of a body without intelligence, then explain: How is it possible to study the structure of the stone? On a rock there is a series of recorded information, which even mineralogists may be unaware of. The Universe is intelligent, the Universe is Divine.
To imagine God as a “big being” that generates other children is extremely childish. Having heard or read in the Bible: “Let the earth be made” does not mean that “someone” was in possession of a magic wand, but it does mean the regrouping of a portion of the Divine Logos. It is precisely for this reason that many, when they see people with serious illnesses or great injustices, affirm: “God does not exist”. These people do not notice that we are the “unconsciously” part of the Divine Logos, and that, otherwise, we would be just puppets. The part unconsciously does not mean the part that is not loved, but because it is loved, it becomes unconsciously.
If you can say “I” with some awareness of the cause, it is because it exists within the Universe.
It is not possible to prove whether God created the universe or not, but it is possible to prove that, if it was not Him, it was nobody else — much less the universe itself. The proof is simple: the universe only became possible thanks to the mathematical proportions that shaped it. If so, and all science proves that it was, then these proportions were valid since before the creation of the universe. But, for some proportions to be valid, it was necessary that all were valid, that the ENTIRE mathematical reason was valid eternally, above and independently of the universe itself. But how could it be valid if it did not contain in itself the principle of its own intelligibility? The Reason that shapes and explains everything explains itself and depends on nothing. This is the Divine Logos.
Cog got me thinking. He’s right and you could also take your cheque to the payor’s bank and cash it there…
